Instead of posting this as a reply you should make it a new shit post. I like your list.

0 point gang rise up.

But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?

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.

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.

A perfect zero. I have done all of those things and more that the creator of that list can't even imagine. Things that were everyday common but have faded beyond memory, (and aren't missed at all).

3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.

  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 get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

1 point. Never used a boombox. And yes, I have written a check at a store while people waited in line behind me. Their cold angry stares still haunt me.

None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

Let’s just say that at some places, I get senior discounts. Not ALL places, but some.

I'm in my mid 20s. Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.

I didn't use vinyl or a film camera until a few years ago though, I have been really enjoying the physicality and ritualism of analog tech recently
