I’ve never sent a postcard. Born in 1970.

[-] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah that's the only point I got. I've bought post cards, but never actually mailed one.

[-] eaterofclowns@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

If you just got a point for never having written a postcard, go write a postcard! And mail it to someone that you appreciate in your life. It doesn't need to be from anywhere exotic or say anything profound, it just takes a few sentences. If you really want to get fancy about it, a lot of little art galleries sell postcard sized prints and you can give someone a tiny little piece of art that speaks to you. Or go to a museum and buy like 10 at the gift shop and keep a stockpile to send when you want to reach out. People love it, and you probably will too.

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.

Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.

[-] kaidezee@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

19! (not "nineteen factorial"). I had used a floppy disk once.

[-] shadowDingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

My score was 4!

I've never used a rotary phone, record off radio to cassette (although I did on an MP3 player), never used a boombox outside, and I never used dial up.

Pretty boomer for someone born in '99, eh?

[-] mkhopper@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I've never actually owned a set of encyclopedias.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm giving myself half a point because I've used a typewriter but it was just playing around at my grandma's house.

Never sent a FAX. Scanners were common place and only sent pic/pdfs by email when needed.

Never owned an encyclopedia.

I'm gen z but I still only got 3 points. I live in the sticks, so no blockbuster. Also no walkman, though I have used portable cassette players. And never recorded from radio to cassette. Maybe you could give me another point, because my dad had to send a fax for me, but I felt involved in the process.

  1. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn't called Blockbusters, obviously.
[-] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Born 1992
5 points

  • No typewriter ( would kill for a real TTY though)
  • Haven't listened to vinyl ( I really want to get into that, overwhelmed with stuff I need to learn)
  • No boombox ( and thank god for that - this shit looks heavy af)
  • Not recorded music to a cassette ( only from lack of trying, had a radio accepting cassettes with "record" button)
  • No postcard ( not a big thing around these parts)

15 points.

I've listened to music on CDs and cassette tapes, watched a VHS tape, recorded music from the radio, and at one point owned a dictionary.
