Instead of posting this as a reply you should make it a new shit post. I like your list.

[–] CherryBullets@lemmy.ca 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.

Older Gen X'er here.

This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 9 points 6 days ago

Big fat zero for me.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This is basically a "are you old" questionaire.

[–] Canopyflyer@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Can confirm.

Am old.

Scored a zero.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.

I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.

[–] Witziger_Waschbaer@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Does it work? I also have one and it was super easy to connect it to my router and use it. My wife likes to call me on it when my phone is on silent, hard to miss that ring haha.

I even have a walkman in my eurorack setup.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

0; am old. What's funny is that it's 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

I don't know why these are asked in the past tense like I don't still do these things.

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

1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.

The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor's offices still use them - far more secure than email.

I'm a zoomer and only got three points hahaha

[–] andrej@feddit.org 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] SilverShark@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days 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.

[–] andrej@feddit.org 2 points 6 days ago

Well shit. Then I am old ;)

The country were I was living when I rented videos didn't have Blockbuster, so 1.

[–] S_H_K@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

In my country we didn't had blockbuster too but I still consider the video club I used the "local version". I got one for the paper check.

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

I want a new test

[–] shadowDingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 6 days ago

My score was 4!

I've never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.

Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?

[–] Soapbox1858@lemm.ee 5 points 6 days ago
[–] kaidezee@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 days ago

19! (not "nineteen factorial"). I had used a floppy disk once.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Born in 1986.. Zero 0

[–] Cocopanda@futurology.today 3 points 6 days ago

Why are people attacking me so much online today?

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days 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 days ago

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

Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.

I have 1 point.

I never owned an encyclopedia.

If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

1 - Never owned an encyclopedia. Used one many times, owned all sort of other books that agglomerate knowledge, but never owned one.

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

[–] oz1sej@discuss.online 2 points 6 days ago

1 - I never had a check book.

[–] Patrik@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago (2 children)
  1. Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

  1. My grandma had a rotary phone.
[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days 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.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Three. Would have been two but I was a member of Video Ezy. I also just learned if you start a sentence with a number Sync autocorrects it to a numbered list.
