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

Never owned an encyclopedia.

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.

I mean I am old, yes, but I feel like most North American millennials would get the same.

I hate to break it to you but... millennials are old

  • Never listened to music on a CD;
  • never listened to a vynil record;
  • never listened to a walkman
  • never listened to a boombox (had to search what this was)
  • never sent a postcard

36 years old. Just grew up mostly without access to music until I got my first PC. But I did have the opportunity to use a radio with a cassete tape player a few times as a kid.

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

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago
  1. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
  2. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

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.

[–] Denjin@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

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

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

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

  1. Never owned a whole encyclopedia.

But probably -1 for not only rotary phone but "party line"; sometimes you couldn't use the phone because someone else, in another house, was using that line.

never used a Sony Walkman! so that's 1 point for me...

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago
  1. My grandma had a rotary phone.
[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

1.... Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn't have one where I lived but I have rented videos.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I'm gonna say that counts. They shouldn't have specified a specific rental place.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 6 months 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.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Ha!! I'm not old at all. I got 21 points!

[–] grimoire@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

14 points 😬. I'm surprised at the amount of zeroes in the comments.

Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.

I'm old, but never sent or received a fax or rented from Blockbuster specifically, we had plenty of local "mom&pop" stores.

Never paid with cheque, by the time I was old enough to have any significant amount of money (~2011) they were already almost entirely phased out
