Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE

0 I have 0 points 👴

0 point gang rise up.

But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.

I am reporting this post.

…. 0 points…. 🙂

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.

Zero points.

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.

Millennial with a big fat 0 over here

Your age is 40 minus your number of points.

3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.

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).

Zeeeero!

2. 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

11. Sent or received a fax

You clearly do not live in Germany

8 points. I'm born in 1997.

1. No floppy disk
2. No typewriter
3. No Walkman
4. No boom box
5. No record of radio
6. No Blockbuster (I think that store is not present in my country)
7. No dial up Internet
8. No cheque

Edit : if the company Blockbuster doesn't matter then I've done 6.

Come at me grandpas

None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

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

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.

1. Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.

I got zero.

Yes I'm old. On the plus side I still have my family commadore 64 from 1982.

My town had a family video, not a blockbuster.

0. 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 Maybe it's because I grew up poor and was using outdated tech when I was a kid.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 points. I feel old.

One point. I have never owned an encyclopedia unless Encarta counts. My parents owned one when I was a kid, and I used the library encyclopedia a ton. I'm in my early 50s. I'm surprised the encyclopedia is not the most common point.

This is basically a "are you old" questionaire.

0; am old. What's funny is that it's 2025 and anyone trying to get internet in Japan with one of the only two fiber providers (NTT) still has to send a fax to set it up.

5 but it depends if "used" is defined as actually in an every day situtation or because found an old typewriter in the attic and played around with it

1 point. I don't even own a cheque book.

2 points.

I have never written a check, and as far as I know, there were no Blockbusters in this country.

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.

I have 1 point.

I never owned an encyclopedia.

If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

The country were I was living when I rented videos didn't have Blockbuster, so 1.

Zero (born in '66). Can we add some more to the list?

21: had to wait for the television to warm up

1 point. I never recorded music off the radio.

The fax one is funny because I do that just about every day. People seem to forget that doctor's offices still use them - far more secure than email.

German newborns have to fax their crying to the hospital's management for them to be declared healthy

17

I live in an Eastern European country. I have listened to music on CD, i used to own Encyclopedias and i own a copy of DOOM

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.
