- My area had upgraded to DTMF exchanges too soon for me to use a rotary phone, and my parents were to cheap to own an encyclopedia when you could just go to the library to read one, although we did have a few of those encyclopedias on CDs over the years
I literally just wrote a check today to pay for a vehicle inspection. And a couple recently to pay some contractors for some house repairs
There were no blockbuster where I come from so I have 1 pont. Suck it up loosers!
0 I have 0 points 👴

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
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.
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.
1 point. Never cared for what was playing on the radio.

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.
Never owned an encyclopedia.
Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email

0 :( one of my guitar amps I hacked together out of a Walkman so I could practice while waiting for the bus how many negative points do I get
2 I’ve never really used a typewriter, I’ve never listened to a vinyl record. Everything else was relatively common growing up in the 90s, being born in the late 80s.
0, and I’ve done 4 of these in the last year.
Boooommmm, bitches, 20 points! I win!
I’m giving myself half a point because I’ve used a typewriter but it was just playing around at my grandma’s house.
But you’ve done all the other things?
0
2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.
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.
