I actually plan to buy the latest print encyclopedia I can find. Just in case. Fuck them trying to kill everything good on the internet.

I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.

Edit: So looked it up and apparently CDs had been around for ages, but my parents bought me stuff on cassettes instead. Maybe it was second hand.

Another reminder of the past - Limewire. Anyone also remember Napster?

I guess 2 points, I've not owned my own dictionary or encyclopedia. Born in 1989.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Two points. Wtf would I send a postcard? I also don't believe I've ever sent a fax, though I may have gone to an office supply store to have that done to a business and don't recall.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I've seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

3 or 4 points because I don’t think I’ve had friends with boomboxes, I didn’t use fax as a kid and I wasn’t raised in the states to use blockbuster and cheques.

Maybe I am old but being able to remember the world pre enshittification and constant doom is nice.

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

So sad today that so many live lives filled only with negativity and doom

7 Points. Born in 2004 🤔

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago
  1. If you count me messing with stuff as using it then 9. But they didn't work unfortunately. Born 2005

The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.

Presuming we're counting that, big fat goose egg.

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

Never had a blockbuster, a fax nor cheques. I can't remember using my boombox outside, C Batteries were expensive and cumbersome.

So 3 points.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Typewriter, vinil, fax, and payed with check, those are the only 4 things I never done. The boom box I don’t know what it is.

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

A boombox is one of those big rectangular radios that can work on batteries

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I got 1 (13) because there is no blockbuster in my country. But I've used equivalent stores, so I guess I got 0. Did I win a price?

Up to 8 points, depending on whether playing with tech that was already old at the time counts. For example, I've never used a typewriter to produce a document, but I've pressed the keys on one to understand how the mechanism works.

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

One point for the typewriter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

6 points. I have never used a floppy disc, used a Walkman, blasted my music in public by any means, sent a fax, recorded music from radio to cassette, or used dial-up.

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

2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.

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

i'm in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i've never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i've ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.

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

13 points for me.
