This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
Can confirm.
Am old.
Scored a zero.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
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.
I even have a walkman in my eurorack setup.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
I am proudly batting zero.
Vintage Enthusiasts getting absolutely fucking roasted by this.
I’m a zoomer and only got three points hahaha
0
I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.
As kids my sister and I found a set of old 1950’s World Book Encyclopedias that a family in our neighborhood was throwing out. We brought them home on a wagon. We used them for years. They were definitely kinda dated–like, in the article about guinea pigs, it claimed they were the perfect animal for scientific research because they don’t feel pain, which is obviously bullshit and/or propaganda. But that was actually kind of eye-opening for me at the time, because I didn’t have a lot of experience of seemingly authoritative things that were also in error. It still had a lot of useful info, too.
Two because #13 and #20 weren’t a thing in my country.
I want a new test
I don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
Yeah. 0 points. I either aced it, or I colossally failed it depending on perspective.
