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

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).

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Only 3 🥲

0. My grandma had a rotary phone.

One point for the typewriter.

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

Never had a blockbuster, a fax nor cheques. I can't remember using my boombox outside, C Batteries were expensive and cumbersome.

So 3 points.

6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn't count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it's not called that.

4

At least 6 and Im 31, more if I get super pedantic.

For instance

• printed out directions for my dad and he followed them
• Rented dvds from blockbuster
• kids pink typewriter that i couldnt use properly
• flipped through phone book to pretend i was terminator Etc.

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

5 (I'm 18 lol)

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.

My mothers maiden name is punjab.

6 points. I have never used a floppy disc, used a Walkman, blasted my music in public by any means, sent a fax, recorded music from radio to cassette, or used dial-up.

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.
