  1. But some are only like once in my parents basenent for fun. Technically 8. I technically sent fax to doctors for work. As in, i physically deliver it to them as austria banned doctors from using fax, and clearly, the only solution is to walk there in this day and age.

  1. No Blockbuster in Germany, and noone uses checks here.

Edited from Europe to Germany as some pointed out that there is Blockbuster and checks in other countries

I am proudly batting zero.

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

For "listened to a boombox outside," does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I'm either 0 or 1.

[–] grimoire@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

14 points 😬. I'm surprised at the amount of zeroes in the comments.

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 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 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

6 and I feel old.

[–] Zip2@feddit.uk 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I've never used a typewriter. I've also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for "rented a film from a physical store".

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.

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we're having:

  1. Paid with a paper check - I say I have because we've made earnest money deposits via check, or down payments on loans via check. And he says "no" because the intent is using a check to pay for things like groceries. He says weve never balanced a checkbook so it doesn't count.

  1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 2 days ago

It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.

[–] amphy@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

5 points, not bad

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 3 points 2 days ago
  1. My grandma had a rotary phone.
[–] jojowakaki@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.

1 Point, we don't use cheques in Germany. Maybe 2 points, but I'd count my local Videotheque as the equivalent of the "Blockbuster" video chain.

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.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days 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.

5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it

2 points, but only because we don't have blockbuster where I'm from, I have rented movies though. I have also never used a check to pay for anything.
