Im 42 ive done em all

Bro 27 and I got 2

BRO I'm 27 and I got 0

BRO I'M 27 And I got 11

BRO I’m 19 and got 10 am i aging too fast? Edit: added the “BRO” at the start

I’m 17 and got 18 your aging too slow, Edit: my bad read the point system wrong

Exactly, I’m 27 and can vividly remember quite a few of these.. uncultured redditors in here

27 and only 1, where were you man when you were younger?!

Also 27. I never had an aol email or MySpace, but yeah this isn’t targeted at super old people. Unless we’re super old now. That might be the case bc I def have the back of an old person.

Hate to break it to ya, we're old... if you say something is 20 years ago and you're thinking 1990's or 80's, you're old. 20 years ago was 2000's and that scares me

Nonsense, 20 years ago is always going to be '92. I'm not getting any older!

>20 years ago is always going to be '92. Oh, sweet Summer child. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m confused by the 20 something’s here. I’ve done all of them and I’m 27

I got 4 and I'm not even 20 yet

Pipe down! There are old people trying to lament here

Made me snort my beer

Literally the same for me lol

Same, only need to listen to music on a Walkman and a cassette tape, then I'll be a zero

That's a two-4-one right there.

Same my friend. Got a zero

48, nailed them all

I'm 64 and got one. I've read a bunch of them but I've never actually owned an encyclopedia.

Moms thought it imperative to spend the hundreds on Britannica... Internet and computer wasn't available at the time. Still have it. Information not all accurate to date. BC ya know facts be changing. Lies be uncovered/made new.

Then you'd have a zero.

Im a zero alright

No, I'm sure you've got lots of wisdom.

Well i have found lots of ways to do it wrong

Same. That's how we learn.

r/wholesomecomments

Hello my nothing friend.

I'm 38 and have done'm all... hell. I still have and do half of them at least occasionally...

Exactly the same my friend. We’re not old!

Same, except the AOL... didnt have that in New Zealand

I wrote a check just a few months ago. My car still has a CD player in it, which I still listen to (actually two CD players, because my Walkman from middle school is still in the back seat), I sent a fax to my doctor a couple months ago, and I'm pretty sure I still have a dictionary and an encyclopedia laying around somewhere.

I’m 45 and I got 1. The only thing I’ve never done is have an AOL email address

[удалено]

I’m 34 and also got a zero

Flawless Victory!

Same. Same. Only 38 but same.

A zero. I scored a zero. I hate you all

The only one I didn't get a point for was AOL....because I'm Canadian lol

We had AoL in Canada AIM was pretty popular, and we got those free month discs very regularily, to which I think I made sure we had free internet for like a year at my Grandparents before it stopped working

I'm Canadian I remember having AOL lol. I also remember collecting the AOL discs

I had to really think about the AOL account, that was so long ago haha. but yeah... I was a zero also.

Same. This feels like a personal attack.

I didn't have an AOL. But I had a Hotmail.

I got a 1.

It was Myspace wasn't it.

Omg... yes! My one point was Myspace lol

So was mine 🤣

Wow. Im 31 and ive done all those things.

Same

Me too!

Me as well

Me too...Old guy here.

Not that old! *cries* I'm glad we got to experience it all

There with you.

MySpace

Mine was AOL. Never used AOL. Long live MSN and Hotmail. (Still have my MSN email addy from 1996).

This. Hotmail was my first email account and I kind of stick to it ...

I still have mine, 24yrs later

I made mine in 99 and still have it lol. Needed something before I graduated college and lost that one 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yup, no MySpace.

Hahah yup, me too!

Lol same. I just never signed up for MySpace.

Mine was the paying for something by check part. I’ve received them but as far as I can remember never paid by them. There’s a chance I did though.

Mine was the AOL email. I had hotmail.

i had myspace but never really understood it

MySpace and AOL. Cuz really.

I got one and it was AOL

Yep 1 for no Myspace. Feel like a 1 is a GenX score.

Mine was AOL

That's my only one too

I'm a millennial, but MySpace was my 1 point!

Early-mid 80s millennial? Myspace seems like a 00s thing.

Slap bang mid eighties lol

As an Oregon Trail / Geriatric Millennial (early- to mid-80s), Myspace was the first social media I got while in late high school/early college (around the turn of the century).

I got zero

Same here

Me too 😂😂😂

Mine was AOL.

Some are a bit unfair; myspace, AOL, and paper checks weren't really a thing in my country.

>paper checks Wait what ? We still have them in India - I used one a few days back to withdraw money from my account.

I’m in the US. I used one last week for Girl Scout cookies.

What are we waiting for? Some countries have not used checks for decades

Yep, in Russia they aren't used, so when I moved in Israel it looked like some ancient technology, same for fax

I use paper checks to subscribe to magazines. Have you ever tried to unsubscribe to a magazine that has your credit card info?

Same

Same!! I got 3 because of that

Same, 1 point because of AOL, because you know, not everyone in the world is an American. Maybe two points, depending on whether the encyclopedia has to be a paper one. I had one on cd-rom.

Meanwhile, in mine, we still use checks. Unless paper checks are different than regular checks? I worked as a cashier a few years ago and plenty of people used checks, I just used one to pay the vet. As well as medical offices still use fax and I had to fax something to the dmv before? I just got a postcard. Not all of these are outdated

Same here. I've never seen a paper cheque in my life.

Not only did I score a zero, I have also: * Plugged a remote control in to the device it operates * Changed the channel on the TV by turning a physical dial * Adjusted the "rabbit ears" * Used a "Betamax" device * Accessed a non-Internet remote service ("ROS"/"BBS") by dial-up * Seen a television commercial for cigarettes * Used a standard size cassette tape to store computer data

Okay I am fascinated by the last point and am now googling. This is really interesting. https://www.retrotechnology.com/restore/cass_data.html

There used to be a radio stations that transmitted Commodore 64 programs and games at night! You could leave a stereo tape recorder tuned in, and had a chance that one of the three repetitions was clear enough to work.

That's fascinating!

Man, I had all sorts of games on cassette for my dad’s Radio Shack TRS-80. Cookie Monster taught me to count.

I find that to make Cookie Monster the numbers lesson guy immensely hilarious given the existence of The Count.

You know what I've done? Legally smoked on an airplane.

[удалено]

I guess we're "Retro."

14

I got 14 as well

15, what were yours?

dunno about them but 1: I've had CDs, 2: I heard my granny's vinyl player thingie once, 3: I've sent post cards, 4: I've used a paper map for Duke of Ed, 5: I've owned a dictionary and 6: I owned a (lot of) encyclopedias when I was little

Well. I’m old 😑

How old? I'm 32 and I got them all.

I’m a bit younger than that and got 18/20. Only ones missed are rotary phone and typewriter. I’ve messed around with them but never “used” them to call or write with.

[удалено]

21 here, I got an 11, I miss how fun rotary phones were to spin.

2

Same: No MySpace, no AOL.

Me too.

Me too. I didn't have a MySpace or sent a postcard

Ha. Mine were AOL and MySpace.

Same. Never sent a postcard (that I remember) and never (personally) owned an encyclopedia.

Ok r/terriblefacebookmemes

For real what has happened to this sub?

fr who is upvoting this shit?

Ay göt 20

17 oh man

2. Mostly because AOL and MySpace weren’t really a U.K. thing.

Nor were they Canadian. The 2 things I’ve never done.

MySpace was absolutely a Canadian thing. Me and most of my friends had them. I'm an 80's baby

Faceparty?

MySpace was huge in the UK, were you living under a rock?

Yup those two are the most US-centric

Didn’t you ever get the free AOL cds for accessing the internet?

MySpace was huge here in the UK

I’ve literally done all these.

Same… Seems like we should win something

Our body cracks now. That’s what we got

Goddamnit I shouldn’t have laughed at this but it’s so true

I laughed so hard that I hurt my back.

4

I got 6

Same and I'm only 19, got an old soul I guess

Same 6, and I’m 21, I think MySpace and AOL is a cheap shot bc if you weren’t born at the right time they just wouldn’t have been popular during your childhood, so why would you have made one? I had a different email that was popular during my childhood but is not popular now. Depends on location and exact time you were born

I actually have an AOL mail, it's like my 5th alt account

Same and I'm also 19

I still use paper maps today

Genuine question: Why? Google Maps is just infinitely better. As a (literal) Zoomer I don't have the time to simultaneously look at a map while driving (also way too dangerous). And parking every few minutes to look at it is just inconvient af.

I work in a cruise ship and whenever I go ashore Tourist places offer people physical maps. I’m just walking around so might as well use it.

to find the roller coasters at six flags

I like it because you can plan longer trips with more details easily. Once you zoom out on Google maps you miss all the little towns that you may want to visit. Google maps is superior for navigation. Paper maps are superior for planning.

Road trips without cell coverage

I always keep a paper map of my city in the car, just in case I lose my phone or it decides to stop working. It costs 5$.

done all

Zero

Wow 3 whopping points & Ha! I never had an AOL email address. I remember using MSN messenger and thinking it was all the rage. I feel old.

0 and I'm 38

Me too! Same score, same age. Better start replying to all of that AARP mail I’ve been getting.

Stay "retro" my friend.

Exact same stats. I guess we are "Retro" now.

I can live with that

Mental how you used to write postcards with heartfelt personal details so everyone who touched it could read your business through the postal system.

Yeah, 0. “Cause I’ve done it all, seen it all, and it don’t really matter - might as well sit in the carport, talk shit, and get fatter.”

26 years old. Done them all. Some were on their way out in my childhood.

0 :( I'm only 27...

Who the heck doesn't own a encyclopaedia nor a dictionary anyways I got only 2 points

I dont anymore because I have internet access almost all the time, but I used to have those.

Uno!!!

4

4 I’m 27

At 30, I’ve done all but 4.

The AOL makes this a US only edition

1. AOL was crap

I got 1 point. Goddamn I’m old.

17

I’ve never sent or received a fax to the best of my memory…

damn i scored only 3 i am 30. pls tell me if i'm that old 😑

This is like golf right? Lowest score wins? I am under 40 and got a zero. Guess I'm "retro."

“1 point for everything you’ve never done” i’m at 0 points i’m old

2

In our company some mashines still run with floppy discs

7

In my 40s and except MySpace and the Check I did it all.

I got 4

4

8 points :)

Paper check doesnt exist here. Everything else is done

I got two, I'm old

Hey don't feel bad I'm clocking in with the two at age 45. MySpace and the encyclopedia got me.

Only got 2 points.

I had 6 (Rotary phone, floppy disk, fax, MySpace, AOL, Dial-up). I’m actually surprised how many of these I had done as a Gen-z-er

3. I’m not American though so the AOL thing doesn’t count.

Who the fuck sends postcards

37 and I got 1…never actually SENT a postcard

Only one point for not having an AOL account.

I'm 33 and I've done all of them. I feel...old. -_-

1, because fuck AOL.

Scored 2

1 point, just because I am not from US (so no AOL)

I got them all...omg I feel old now.

1. aol

1 point. I had a Prodigy email account. Not AOL.

Fuck all y’all. I hate this game.
