1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.

I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.

0. Probably a typical response for anyone not in gen Z.

1 point. Never cared for what was playing on the radio.

One. Because in Germany, we did not have Blockbuster....

Does Encarta count as owning an encyclopedia?

Zero.

This is just the age calculator. Anything over 5 points and you are less than 25 years old. I’d even go as far to say less than 30.

I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.

Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.

i wrote a check yesterday and faxed something last month, because 1. fuck paying "convenience fees" to pay my rent online 2. fuck signing up for yet another medical portal just so i can order some fucking contact lenses

do not miss film cameras though. always felt too inhibited to take photos because i'd be "wasting" the film

1 point. I've never personally owned a physical encyclopedia. I've def. used them though.

1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

There were no blockbuster where I come from so I have 1 pont. Suck it up loosers!

2 points. Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape... You'll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway. Also why specifically call out a brand name Sony Walkman? Listened to plenty of tapes on portable tape players. Just never had a Walkman specifically.

I've never actually owned a set of encyclopedias.

Two points. I've never paid for anything by cheque (we have had bank transfers in Finland for ages) and Blockbuster didn't operate here (we had our local video rental chains, and the convenience store chain that I used to go to is still in business, just, you know, not having movies for rent any more)

I got 5, so which Kardashian am I? Not sure the point.

Late 20s - 2 points

1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.

I've listened to music on CDs and cassette tapes, watched a VHS tape, recorded music from the radio, and at one point owned a dictionary.

I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I've forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.

Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding... I used both :D

1 point. I've never sent/received a fax.

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.

Never owned an encyclopedia.

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

• No typewriter ( would kill for a real TTY though)
• Haven't listened to vinyl ( I really want to get into that, overwhelmed with stuff I need to learn)
• No boombox ( and thank god for that - this shit looks heavy af)
• Not recorded music to a cassette ( only from lack of trying, had a radio accepting cassettes with "record" button)
• No postcard ( not a big thing around these parts)

21. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
22. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

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.

Do I get negative points if I still own and use many of these things?

Only 3 🥲
