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

0 point gang rise up.
But don't rise too quickly. I know our backs don't like that.
- I have 1 point but only because there was never a Blockbuster in Germany. Can I rise too?
  
  Also german, I guess any spot to take out videos counts also. So welcome to the "0 point club".
  
  You can rise.... But let's be extra careful with raising that right arm.
  
  The fire rises brother! (OK, not an appropriate quote, just wanted to say it.)
  
  I assume there was an equivalent service though?
  
  Same, 1 point because no Blockbuster in NZ
- Hey folks, is this where the old farts are hanging out? Point me toward the bathroom, I'll be a while.
- Preach on, brother. Just came back from my physio. He did some dry needling on my lower back because it ain't what it used to be when I was still Wired for Sound.
- Yeah I can't recall using a typewriter seriously, but for sure I've used on for fun. Also trying to get a commodore 64 to print my homework in 1992 should aub in nicely.
  
  My great aunt left me her typewriter when she passed. My father holds onto it as I have nowhere too to store it and he enjoys using it from time to time. It's becoming harder and harder to find replacement ribbons or people that can repair it at all, but it's still kicking. I typed out a few short papers on it in highschool just for fun.
  I'm not 100% sure that's the exact model I have but it looks like the right one.
- Yup, flat zero.

0 I have 0 points 👴
- Right there with ya.
- Yuuuup.
- Same and some of these things I've done in the last couple years.
  
  Done them all and I see 4 that still apply today.
- 1 reporting in 👨‍🦳
  
  What's the thing you've never done?
- Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
- Young Matt Damon fades into old Matt Damon.
- Same and I'm not even 30 ^^`
- Same what a feel bad meme.

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

Zero points.

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.

Older Gen X'er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.

I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we'll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!

Big fat zero for me.

This is basically a "are you old" questionaire.

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).

I don't know why these are asked in the past tense like I don't still do these things.

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.

I am reporting this post.
…. 0 points…. 🙂
- Hello old friend
  
  Yeah, the hurts-to-get-out-of-bed is real.

1 because despite being born in the early 80s, paper checks are for old people and Americans

One. Because in Germany, we did not have Blockbuster....

Millennial with a big fat 0 over here

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

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.
- 3, same with the cheques in Germany
- There was a time when people used cheques in Germany. I remember my father using them ages ago
- I'm exactly the same, only i'm from the Netherlands
- Actually... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocheque
  (I never used one, but remember my parents paying with it at the supermarket)
  
  Still nothing compared to how it's used in the US.
  I've never seen a cheque in my entire life and it's so incredibly niche that you might as well talk about paying with stocks or gold bars.

I am proudly batting zero.

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.

Probably a typical response for anyone not in gen Z.

I'm a zoomer and only got three points hahaha

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

Zeeeero!

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.
- 1 point for the same reason, but having used traveler's cheques :)
- Same.

Why are people attacking me so much online today?

I want a new test

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?

Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.

0 points

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

Just the 1. I’ve never listened to a boombox outdoors.

Born in 1986.. Zero 0

1 - Never owned an encyclopedia. Used one many times, owned all sort of other books that agglomerate knowledge, but never owned one.

Blockbuster didnt exist in the EU.

Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.

0

0 I'm old 😆

0

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

0
- 0 :( one of my guitar amps I hacked together out of a Walkman so I could practice while waiting for the bus how many negative points do I get

0

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

Your age is 40 minus your number of points.
- I'm 60 so I'll take 40.
- Gasp, burn the witch
- 40-4 points is 36, I’m turning 35 this year 😹 only missed it by a year
  
  40-14 is also off by half a year, dang
- Oof this is too accurate
- I just turned 45. But I have 1 point. I’d happily pretend to be 39 though.
- I'll need a couple of negative points for that to hold true.
- Ouch.. aged three years in a single day.

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

18 points.
I've owned a dictionary and an encyclopedia.

1 - I never had a check book.

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

Late 20s - 2 points

0

I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.

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.

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.

fucking 13 😭
