But only because we pay in cash and block buster was never a thing here.

I have touched a type writer but never used it for writing letters or whatever you write with it.

I just sent a fax a few days ago....

I never owned a walkman or discman but my older sister had a discman and I got one of the first mp3 players xD.

4 points. Being a 90's baby, got to do a fair number of these.

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.

3 point

Last three on the list.

Never actually owned dictionary or encyclopedia. somebody just left them at my place, because nobody wanted them, so I used them as a door stop. If they are considered my property, because they were abandoned at my property then just 1 point.

[–] DrBob@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Dictionaries are like cats. They just find their own home.

  1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn't called Blockbusters, obviously.
[–] andrej@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] SilverShark@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I just replaced it with my local video rental shop and counted that I did it. I felt that the question was more into the spirit of asking if you have rented a movie from a shop on physical media rather then being focus on the actual Blockbuster store.

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

Does Encarta count as owning an encyclopedia?

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)

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

If you just got a point for never having written a postcard, go write a postcard! And mail it to someone that you appreciate in your life. It doesn't need to be from anywhere exotic or say anything profound, it just takes a few sentences. If you really want to get fancy about it, a lot of little art galleries sell postcard sized prints and you can give someone a tiny little piece of art that speaks to you. Or go to a museum and buy like 10 at the gift shop and keep a stockpile to send when you want to reach out. People love it, and you probably will too.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] graycube@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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

Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
  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.

I'm giving myself half a point because I've used a typewriter but it was just playing around at my grandma's house.
