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.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.

I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display ("Local company donated to local sports association", Photo).

[–] Penta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

7 Points. Born in 2004 🤔

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.

[–] aiden@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago
  1. If you count me messing with stuff as using it then 9. But they didn't work unfortunately. Born 2005
[–] missandry351@lemmings.world 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] Mannimarco@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] grue@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] XenGi@feddit.org 2 points 1 year 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?

One point for the typewriter.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

13 points for me.

[–] pan0wski 2 points 1 year ago
[–] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Zero. Born in the early '80s.

[–] nek0d3r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I'm as late as millenials get and I got a 4 😭 I never recorded radio to cassete, I never rented from Blockbuster, never listened to a boombox outside, and never used a rotary phone. I had the advanced technology of touch tone

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

6, I'm surprised I'm 31yo

[–] cfi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

28 and I got 1 point. I've never sent a postcard.

[–] SAF77@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

2 points, fuckers!

[–] starbrite@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
[–] Edge004@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Mid 20s, and I got 10 points. 9 points if the blockbuster one does not mean blockbuster specifically

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

1 point.

I have never sent a postcard. Bought plenty as a cheap souvenir/collectible thing and have received some before; never actually mailed one to someone or even gave one to someone in person.

I am 40.
