1.... Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn't have one where I lived but I have rented videos.

[-] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'm gonna say that counts. They shouldn't have specified a specific rental place.

[-] Manalith@midwest.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Late 20s - 2 points

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Walkman, Blockbuster, Encyclopaedia, Paper cheque.

I have a Walkman, but it is broken. Blockbuster never existed in my country AFAIK. Lexicon vs Encyclopaedia. Cheques are not really a thing here except for media display ("Local company donated to local sports association", Photo).

  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.

  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.

1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.

10 points, though maybe less depending on how strict you are. For example I've seen floppy disks and seen my dad use them (we had a whole stack of them at home), or my mom send and receive faxes, but by the time I was old enough to use a computer or need to send communications it was CDs and email instead of faxes.

I have listened to a cassette but not a CD. It was mainly stories when I was young. By the time I was had any interest in music, limewire existed. Once limewire died I downloaded from youtube instead.

Edit: So looked it up and apparently CDs had been around for ages, but my parents bought me stuff on cassettes instead. Maybe it was second hand.

I got 5, so which Kardashian am I? Not sure the point.

[-] zxqwas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.

[-] jaileh@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago
[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

Never had a blockbuster, a fax nor cheques. I can't remember using my boombox outside, C Batteries were expensive and cumbersome.

So 3 points.

[-] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

2, maybe 3. Never used a typewriter, never owned an encyclopedia, I can’t recall ever sending a postcard.

[-] eran_morad@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I can’t remember whether I’ve ever sent a postcard. I certainly have received them and I remember buying stamps in Barcelona so that my wife could send postcards. Does that count? I’m either 0 points or 1 point.

[-] jedibob5@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

One point for the typewriter.
