11. If you count me messing with stuff as using it then 9. But they didn't work unfortunately. Born 2005

0. Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.

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.

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.

5 points, not bad

7 Points. Born in 2004 🤔

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:

20. 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.

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

20 points! Finally a test I aced!!!

6 and I feel old.

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.

I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?

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.

fucking 13 😭

1 - I never had a check book.

11. Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

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.

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

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.

13 points for me.

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

I posted this to see replies old vs young and Live in US vs Europe. Surprised that on Lemmy there are still many old folks and also how many folks from Europe are on this site.
