What about watching "Creature Double Feature"?

Godzilla and all his bitches!

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Not 4, ... 20? Bitch please.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Records have been resurgent for a decade. The person who made this thinks they're funny and biting, but they are out of touch with the culture.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

And definitely not a "record player". Turntable, mother fucker.

I know right. I'm 39, all 20.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

To be fair I spent a lot of time with my grandparents

[–] xilence@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

37, got 19. Never had a mix tape.

[–] Doublenut@lemmy.zip 2 points 13 hours ago

Same. Plenty of "mix tape" CDs but no tapes. Unless you count the one I stole from my aunt. Also not sure if I can count a word processing machine as a type writer. I've used a real typewriter but just for fun.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Whattt? I feel like I should make you a mix tape

I don't see cocaine on this list. That takes some years off as well.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they're cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don't run out of electricity while you're on a long hike).

[–] A7thStone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Does it count if I own a typewriter, even though I've never used it?

[–] MoonRaven@feddit.nl 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

AOL is very American, could've written dialup. Check books were also gone here long before they were in the US.

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

Why did check books leave in the EU long before in the US?

[–] percent 5 points 1 day ago

I got all 20, but I never used vinyl records until just a few years ago

[–] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

19/20. Only because I refused to use AOL.

[–] froh42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

18/20 because waterbeds weren't a common thing here and I already had internet access and a mail address before AOL was a thing. Whoever made that list should have added usenet.

[–] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 1 points 20 hours ago

I'm still on usenet.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

20/20 and I’ll add Atari, illegal cable hookup, and limewire.

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Add Napster, ICQ, and AOL chatrooms ... A/S/L?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'll add Saturday morning cartoons, planning your week around when shows came on TV, and renting movies from a grocery store/pharmacy.

[–] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Ooohhh I totally forgot about renting movies from the grocery store!

Maybe we can add palm pilots and tvs where the channel changer was a knob you had to adjust

[–] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

That reminds me of the first VCR my family owned. Wired remotes anyone?

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago

Lol #9 is mix tape 🤣😂

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

Post card?

I was too poor to have a waterbed, walkman and chequebook

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Water beds are making a comeback. This coming year, I swear!

20/20, y’all invited the my funeral. Apparently any day now

Terrible distribution of options. A good list would have a series of technologies and tools that became obsolete at different times. Almost all of these became obsolete with the rise of broadband internet in the early 2000's, while a handful were earlier (rotary phones) or later (paper maps, paper checks).

Add this number to 35 for your age.

[–] PrincessTardigrade@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

I got 18 and I'm not even 35 yet lol

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

According to that, I should be 53.

That's over a decade older than I am right now.

19 out of 20. Unless just testing a waterbed counts....

Mixed Tape

Does this mean a mix tape or is that something else? 🤨

Also: I've used a rotary phone, but only because I had bought a novelty modern phone that used a rotary dialer in the 90s.

I got 19 or 20, depending on the answer to my question about the "mixed tape" thing.
