Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE

0 I have 0 points 👴

0 point gang rise up.

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

I am reporting this post.

…. 0 points…. 🙂

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.

Zero points.

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

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.

Millennial with a big fat 0 over here

Your age is 40 minus your number of points.

0

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.

2. 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

Zeeeero!

11. Sent or received a fax

You clearly do not live in Germany

15

Come at me grandpas

I got zero.

Yes I'm old. On the plus side I still have my family commadore 64 from 1982.

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.

8 points. I'm born in 1997.

1. No floppy disk
2. No typewriter
3. No Walkman
4. No boom box
5. No record of radio
6. No Blockbuster (I think that store is not present in my country)
7. No dial up Internet
8. No cheque

Edit : if the company Blockbuster doesn't matter then I've done 6.

Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

0 points. I feel old.

0. 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 Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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

My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.

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

One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I'm in my early 50s. I'm surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.

The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor's offices still use them - far more secure than email.

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?

21: had to wait for the television to warm up

0; am old. What's funny is that it's 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

This is basically a "are you old" questionaire.

2 points.

I have never written a check, and as far as I know, there were no Blockbusters in this country.

1 point, only because my parents never bought an encyclopedia set. They were absolutely a thing when I was a kid. I definitely used one before, but never owned them. Hooray for being old I guess.

1 point. I don't even own a cheque book.

Why is the 8-track never on these lists?

Zero.

The country were I was living when I rented videos didn't have Blockbuster, so 1.

17

I live in an Eastern European country. I have listened to music on CD, i used to own Encyclopedias and i own a copy of DOOM

9 Points. Can you guess how old I am with that info?

8 points

But only because we pay in cash and block buster was never a thing here.

I have touched a type writer but never used it for writing letters or whatever you write with it.

I just sent a fax a few days ago....

I never owned a walkman or discman but my older sister had a discman and I got one of the first mp3 players xD.

German newborns have to fax their crying to the hospital's management for them to be declared healthy

18 points.

I've owned a dictionary and an encyclopedia.

1, We never had blockbuster in NL. But 0 if any other VHS rental store counts.

I even have an old rotary phone on my desk.

2 points. Lived in a small city. No point in recording radio to tape... You'll hear the same songs again tomorrow anyway. Also why specifically call out a brand name Sony Walkman? Listened to plenty of tapes on portable tape players. Just never had a Walkman specifically.

1. Never owned a whole encyclopedia.

But probably -1 for not only rotary phone but "party line"; sometimes you couldn't use the phone because someone else, in another house, was using that line.
