0 point gang rise up.

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week 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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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 Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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

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
