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 month ago

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

I am reporting this post.

…. 0 points…. 🙂

[-] Enkrod@feddit.org 33 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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.

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.

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

Older Gen X'er here.

This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.

[-] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Nusm@yall.theatl.social 9 points 1 month ago

None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

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

Big fat zero for me.

[-] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 7 points 1 month ago

I've never used a typewriter. I've also never been to blockbuster, but I assume this is just American for "rented a film from a physical store".

  1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
[-] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 1 month ago

It did. Italy was filled with Blockbusters and their hideous blue signage.

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I'm 39 ☹️ zero points.

[-] knightly@pawb.social 7 points 1 month ago

0, and I've done 4 of these in the last year.

[-] ebolapie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

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

0 of course, old guys rule!

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

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.
