What’s the thing you’ve never done?
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.
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.
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
Right there with ya.
Young Matt Damon fades into old Matt Damon.
Zero as well. Damn we’re old 👴
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.
Same and I’m not even 30 ^^`
There were no blockbuster where I come from so I have 1 pont. Suck it up loosers!
2 points.
I have never written a check, and as far as I know, there were no Blockbusters in this country.
Me too. Though I’d say we can substitute any locally available video renting store with Blockbuster. So it would only be 1 point.
1… Only one I missed was Blockbuster. We didn’t have one where I lived but I have rented videos.
