I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

  1. My grandma had a rotary phone.

I guess 2 points, I've not owned my own dictionary or encyclopedia. Born in 1989.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks 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.

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

I hate to break it to you but... millennials are old

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.

1 point. I've never sent/received a fax.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I've seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I turn 29 in a few months and scored 2. I would not be surprised if I've forgotten an instance of using a typewriter or listening to a boombox outside though.

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

  1. Used the old broken 19" TV as a stand for the new, smaller, sleeker 19" TV.
  2. Your first video game console had a rotating paddle for a controller

1 point. I've never sent a postcard... I bought one with a shifting hologram on the front for the purposes of sending a Thank-You note. I just never got around to sending it.

I still do a lot of this other stuff with some regularity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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.

  • Never listened to music on a CD;
  • never listened to a vynil record;
  • never listened to a walkman
  • never listened to a boombox (had to search what this was)
  • never sent a postcard

36 years old. Just grew up mostly without access to music until I got my first PC. But I did have the opportunity to use a radio with a cassete tape player a few times as a kid.
