0 point gang rise up.
But don’t rise too quickly. I know our backs don’t like that.
Zero points.
3 points. 90s kid. The early 2000s still had remnants of a lot of this stuff.
I get zero points. Elder millennials rally at the landline we’ll have two drinks and fall asleep at 10pm!
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).
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.
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.
- No Blockbuster in Germany, and noone uses checks here.
Millennial with a big fat 0 over here
Older Gen X’er here.
This list was basically a Tuesday for me back in the day.
The country were I was living when I rented videos didn’t have Blockbuster, so 1.
I am proudly batting zero.
This is basically a “are you old” questionaire.
Zeeeero!
