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.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
0 point gang rise up.
But don’t rise too quickly. I know our backs don’t like that.
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 don’t know why these are asked in the past tense like I don’t still do these things.
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.
One. Because in Germany, we did not have Blockbuster…
0
I have 1 point.
I never owned an encyclopedia.
If I had the money then I definitely would have owned one.
- Probably a typical response for anyone not in gen Z.
0 I have 0 points 👴
Yuuuup.
Right there with ya.
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.

What’s the thing you’ve never done?
Only one for me was blockbuster. I was more of a Rogers video child, I’m not sure we even had a blockbuster near us.
I’m at 1 as well for never owning an encyclopedia. I’m actually surprised how many have. I used the ones at the library. I’m assuming this means the physical book kind, and not a digital one like Encarta or something.
I’d count digital ones as well.
That’s how I didn’t get the point since none of my leatherback encyclopedias is a complete set (yay backyard sales).
Like a getting movies in a public library can count as renting at Blockbusters imho?
I wouldn’t think so on the movie thing. I think it would have to be a video rental store, although not necessarily specifically named Blockbuster. Technically I still “rent” movies at my library through their Kanopy streaming service, but I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the list.
Yeah I was thinking about renting physical copies not streaming.
Pay with a check.
Where I’m from (France) this is how you pay deposits for rentals.
We also have “bank cheques” for big expenses like houses.
Paying with cheques in regular shops is getting rarer, often requires providing two ID, and gets you weird looks. Debit cards have mostly replaced that usage.
We don’t really have credit cards afaik.
Recorded music from radio to cassette
Yeah this one is pretty niche nowadays.
I did it for my nephews because I found it funny to give them time capsules of what kind of music was broadcasted when they were born. And cassettes are a good medium for long time storage :p
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.
