0 point gang rise up.

But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?

1 Point, we don't use cheques in Germany. Maybe 2 points, but I'd count my local Videotheque as the equivalent of the "Blockbuster" video chain.

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

2 points, but only because we don't have blockbuster where I'm from, I have rented movies though. I have also never used a check to pay for anything.

3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.

A perfect zero. I have done all of those things and more that the creator of that list can't even imagine. Things that were everyday common but have faded beyond memory, (and aren't missed at all).

  1. No Blockbuster in Germany, and noone uses checks here.

Edited from Europe to Germany as some pointed out that there is Blockbuster and checks in other countries

I am proudly batting zero.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!

Older Gen X'er here.

This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

  4. No boom box
  5. No record of radio
  6. No Blockbuster (I think that store is not present in my country)
  7. No dial up Internet
  8. No cheque

Edit : if the company Blockbuster doesn't matter then I've done 6.

1 point. Never used a boombox. And yes, I have written a check at a store while people waited in line behind me. Their cold angry stares still haunt me.

None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Let’s just say that at some places, I get senior discounts. Not ALL places, but some.

Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've never used a typewriter. I've also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for "rented a film from a physical store".

Big fat zero for me.

My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

I'm in my mid 20s. Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.

I didn't use vinyl or a film camera until a few years ago though, I have been really enjoying the physicality and ritualism of analog tech recently

  1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it

0, and I've done 4 of these in the last year.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago

I'm 39 ☹️ zero points.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I'm in my early 50s. I'm surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.
