👻I managed 20/20 and my bones are dust.

@GroupNebula563 @Shards, not consciously, though fitting.

@Shards @sleepytako 20/20

I’d put my kids at

2/20

Postcard and dictionary

[violenteastcoastcity@mastodon.social]

@Shards I mean, if you have some you probably have all.

[mangotable@famichiki.jp]

@Shards I’ll take 21/20 because I’ve done 8”, 5.25”, and 3.5”discs.

[themipper@mastodon.social]

@Shards 20/20 ... uff ... my bones are fine not gonna talk about the crackling joints symphony

[dr_bombay@mstdn.social]

@Shards yep, same. proudly so.

[tsturm@famichiki.jp]

@Shards 20/20 and I didn't even have to think very far back for most of them.

@Shards

There's a weird sort of history/geography equivalence here, in that many of these things vanished from the imperial core before they vanished from the periphery.

Like, we still had VCRs and cassettes considerably after Americans and Europeans stopped using them.

[beandreams@friendhole.social]

@Shards Bingo! All 20, assuming off-brand Blockbuster counts. I've done at least 6 of these in the last year, come on.

[fulanigirl@mstdn.social]

@Shards proudly at 20/20

[admiralmemo@mastodon.social]

@Shards I'm also a 20.

[greatbigtable@mastodon.social]

@Shards all 20. Me too. Oof.

[cotopaxi@mstdn.social]

@Shards
All 20.
Aw, hell.
🤨

[w_hurless@mastodon.social]

@Shards I am 50, and had everyone of them checked off, I still have a VCR, Cassette recorder, and Encyclopedia set, LOL, I miss the old Internet/BBS the most, and Blockbuster a close 2nd.

[innowen@wellduck.me]

@Shards @Cotopaxi genXer here, all 20, and i feel 35.

[cotopaxi@mstdn.social]

@cynblogger @Shards
Me too. Know what? I miss more than a few of those things/activities, too. Typing on an old IBM Selectric with correcting backspace key just did something for me. Clickity-clickity-click! DING! Wheeee!

[skipfordj@penguicon.social]

@Shards 20/20. The title has to be bait, and we're all responding to it.

[cotopaxi@mstdn.social]

@innowen @Shards
I dig it, my friend. Some kinda misbegotten prank, putting this squirrel-girl brain in this ol' biddy body, like the heroine in Spirited Away.
I think about her a lot these days.

[innowen@wellduck.me]

@Cotopaxi @Shards

hah. i get that. i feel like i’m the small cute mouse with a big mallet.

[larhanya@zeroes.ca]

@drwho @MsMerope @Shards That's because the picture is accurate for a floppy disk. Just to be annoying, the ones that feel floppy were called mini disks. I think that's because their predecessors were large versions of the same sort of thing. I'm pretty sure the "floppy" disk was so called to differentiate it from a "hard" disk, which was internal to the computer.

Yes, this has bothered me since the 90s.
