Two: I am missing the boombox experience, and Blockbuster never made it to my country.
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:
- 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.

5 points, not bad
I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.
Typewriter, vinil, fax, and payed with check, those are the only 4 things I never done. The boom box I don’t know what it is.
A boombox is one of those big rectangular radios that can work on batteries
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.
The only one I got close on was I never had a chequebook of my own, but did on a couple of occasions use bank cheques for mail-ordered things.
Presuming we're counting that, big fat goose egg.

7 Points. Born in 2004 🤔
6 and I feel old.
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.
I'm as late as millenials get and I got a 4 😭 I never recorded radio to cassete, I never rented from Blockbuster, never listened to a boombox outside, and never used a rotary phone. I had the advanced technology of touch tone

6, I'm surprised I'm 31yo
2 points, fuckers!
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.
