6, 7 if Bluetooth speaker outside doesn’t count as boombox, because my speaker is a box and it booms, but it’s not called that.
There were no blockbuster where I come from so I have 1 pont. Suck it up loosers!
0 I have 0 points 👴
Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
Same and some of these things I’ve done in the last couple years.
Done them all and I see 4 that still apply today.
1 reporting in 👨🦳
What’s the thing you’ve never done?
Recorded music from radio to cassette
Yeah this one is pretty niche nowadays.
I did it for my nephews because I found it funny to give them time capsules of what kind of music was broadcasted when they were born. And cassettes are a good medium for long time storage :p
I’m at 1 as well for never owning an encyclopedia. I’m actually surprised how many have. I used the ones at the library. I’m assuming this means the physical book kind, and not a digital one like Encarta or something.
I’d count digital ones as well.
That’s how I didn’t get the point since none of my leatherback encyclopedias is a complete set (yay backyard sales).
Like a getting movies in a public library can count as renting at Blockbusters imho?
I wouldn’t think so on the movie thing. I think it would have to be a video rental store, although not necessarily specifically named Blockbuster. Technically I still “rent” movies at my library through their Kanopy streaming service, but I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the list.
Yeah I was thinking about renting physical copies not streaming.
Pay with a check.
Where I’m from (France) this is how you pay deposits for rentals.
We also have “bank cheques” for big expenses like houses.
Paying with cheques in regular shops is getting rarer, often requires providing two ID, and gets you weird looks. Debit cards have mostly replaced that usage.
We don’t really have credit cards afaik.
Right there with ya.
Same and I’m not even 30 ^^`
Same what a feel bad meme.
Yuuuup.
Young Matt Damon fades into old Matt Damon.
Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?
21: had to wait for the television to warm up
1 point. I don’t even own a cheque book.
Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.
- Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
7 pointsNull pwang! Maybe I should consider entering Eurovision.
An whole point for not living in an area near a blockbuster
0 🤣
Only one that I haven’t done is paper checks. Those weren’t really a thing here.
Of course, a few of those have come back around to be used by younger generations. There’s teens who rediscovered Polaroid and other film cameras in recent years. Ten years ago, cassettes saw a resurgence and vinyl was also selling well.
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
- Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.
5 points, not bad
