Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
2 or 4 depending on how strict you are.
I’m a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
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.
3 point
Last three on the list.
Never actually owned dictionary or encyclopedia. somebody just left them at my place, because nobody wanted them, so I used them as a door stop. If they are considered my property, because they were abandoned at my property then just 1 point.
Dictionaries are like cats. They just find their own home.
Remember the time when there were telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen selling dictionary, encyclopedias and history books. Always wondered who the fuck buys those from a shady dude at the door.
To be fair, it was common then, so it wouldn’t have seemed shady.
Geographical differences.
Here they were rare. They mostly offered fore mentioned books, vacuum cleaners, home renovations. They were really aggressive in their sales tactics especially when it came to old people. That’s why they had a bit of a scammer reputation.
It was common that many lonely old ladies had the same book series and shopping channel level crap devices.
My parents did. But that was before I was born, so the early 1960s.
1 point. Never listened to a boombox outside. I have owned a boombox, though.
never used a Sony Walkman! so that’s 1 point for me…
- Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.
This is just the age calculator. Anything over 5 points and you are less than 25 years old. I’d even go as far to say less than 30.
2 points.
I have never written a check, and as far as I know, there were no Blockbusters in this country.
Me too. Though I’d say we can substitute any locally available video renting store with Blockbuster. So it would only be 1 point.
Which floppy disc? The one whith the sliding metal thingy or the bendy one? Just kidding… I used both :D
The one with a sliding metal thingy had a floppy magnetic material inside it just like the bendy one.
The diskette was just a floppy anyways:) just a bit smaller.
I’d assume it’s the floppy one but same lol
0
28 and I got 1 point. I’ve never sent a postcard.
1 point. Never rented a video from Blockbuster. But did rent VHS/CD/DVD movies from local chain.
