New game: give yourself one point for each of these you've done this year or last year (24/25). I've got 4 points!

I hope this is how cross posts work

Was there an exodus from Facebook to Lemmy I didn't hear about?
- Man I was just bored. It takes less than half a second to scroll past a post you don't like.
A bluetooth speaker is just a modern boombox isn't it
- I think the difference is that a boombox is a huge thing to carry around, while a bluetooth speaker can be just a small accessory
  
  If my huge JBL Xtreme counts i would say 7 points. I use floppy at work to get data off a super old scientific measurement device that would cost 6 figures to replace.
(Also sorry to disappoint you, but no, that's not how cross-posts work. It's a common mistake, but using the URL of the original post as URL is not a cross-post, but only a new original post which links to the old post. You can create a cross-post by clicking on the cross-post button under a post (two overlapping squares).)
- Thanks for explaining, I'll do that next time!
0, but I'm an old coot, I did all of these
12
OH this year, 0
My 4 are: vinyl record, paper map, own a dictionary, write a post card.
0 points, I lose
Three for me (My telephone is a rotary phone, cassettes are nice and I rented a Blu-ray from a local video library not too long ago (I counted that as Blockbuster)).
I'm on my early thrities. I scored 1, I believe. I don't think I've ever recorded music off of the radio. I had CDs as a child, and then Napster, Limewire, and Limewire's degen cousin Bearshare came along and made recording shit off of the radio unnecessary. I'm pretty sure I've used a portable cassette player, although I doubt it was a Walkman. It was probably some cheap Chinese shit.
Also, this is very Facebook and I feel weird for responding. I'll blame it on being half awake.
EDIT: oh, the rules have changed. If we're only counting the past 12 months, then 18, I think? I own a physical dictionary and encyclopedia, although I've no idea where they are.
