0. Should also add the question 21- legally smoked in every conceivable fucked up place including on planes and underground trains made of wood.

11. If you count me messing with stuff as using it then 9. But they didn't work unfortunately. Born 2005

20 points! Finally a test I aced!!!

7 Points. Born in 2004 🤔

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.

3 or 4 points because I don’t think I’ve had friends with boomboxes, I didn’t use fax as a kid and I wasn’t raised in the states to use blockbuster and cheques.

Maybe I am old but being able to remember the world pre enshittification and constant doom is nice.

Two: I am missing the boombox experience, and Blockbuster never made it to my country.

Aight, I said I got a zero, and my husband says we both have one. So help me settle this riveting dinner discussion we're having:

20. Paid with a paper check - I say I have because we've made earnest money deposits via check, or down payments on loans via check. And he says "no" because the intent is using a check to pay for things like groceries. He says weve never balanced a checkbook so it doesn't count.

5 points, not bad

I got one point for the Walkman thing, but maybe I just forgot.

6 and I feel old.

For "listened to a boombox outside," does it matter whether you did so voluntarily or just heard it because someone else was playing one too loudly for you to ignore? In other words, I'm either 0 or 1.

0 🤣

I got zero points.. guess I'm old now?

2. My area had upgraded to DTMF exchanges too soon for me to use a rotary phone, and my parents were to cheap to own an encyclopedia when you could just go to the library to read one, although we did have a few of those encyclopedias on CDs over the years

I literally just wrote a check today to pay for a vehicle inspection. And a couple recently to pay some contractors for some house repairs

fucking 13 😭

Three. Would have been two but I was a member of Video Ezy. I also just learned if you start a sentence with a number Sync autocorrects it to a numbered list.

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

One point for the typewriter.

11. Surprising, because I'm Gen Z, but I have used typewriters and Walkmen.

i'm in my mid 30s, live in the US, and get one or two points. i am pretty sure i've never recorded music off the radio onto a tape. i am not sure if i've ever sent or received a fax. i did record songs off of the radio directly onto my first mp3 player though.

6 points. I have never used a floppy disc, used a Walkman, blasted my music in public by any means, sent a fax, recorded music from radio to cassette, or used dial-up.

13 points for me.
