By the time I was born, checks weren't in regular use here anymore. I've never seen one in real life. I'm 27

35 and I've used cheques 2x in my life

I'm also in my 30s and I've used a bit over a hundred checks. Mostly for paying rent.

As yet another 30-something year old I've never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

45 year old here, I remember my father using cheques a long time ago. (non-USAian)

You probably do not know b/c reddthat has downvotes disabled, but people are downvoting your comment.

I find it the height of irony that your comment, which is relevant and contributes to the conversation, is receiving the "*I* personally do not like this idea" treatment.

A comment that aims to provide a more balanced perspective, to round out the discussion beyond "things should be the way that I am most comfortable with", and offering not only logical facts but very relevant personal experience.

~~Reddit~~ Lemmy can be so toxic sometimes. :-|

I like the lack of downvotes, it's nice. I get to focus on arguments being made. If someone wants to tell me they disagree, they're going to have to actually tell me
