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

@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!

@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.

@Cotopaxi @Shards

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

@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.

@Shards
All except 13 and 20. Now if you swap that USA blockbuster for a generic “rented a video in a store” I have done that.

Checks haven’t been a thing in my country for like 50 years

[hydreprever@mathstodon.xyz]

@Shards there was no blockbuster in France...

[larhanya@zeroes.ca]

@Shards 20/20, with the caveats that I'm not 100% I ever brought a boom box outdoors and it was my parents who owned the encyclopedia, technically.

[claralistensprechen3rd@friendica.myportal.social]

@Shards @BR549 @drwho 26 out of 20 over here.
--8 track cassette
--8mm projector movies
--drive-in movies using projectors with carbon-arc illumination
--78 rpm music
--music on cylinders
--music on player pianos

Hoping all your dusty bones feel young again.

@Halfdan @GroupNebula563
Oh damn, I hadn’t noticed. That sucks. Sorry about that; I need to put my glasses on sooner of a morning, I think.

[bardmoss@autistics.life]

@Shards
Really??? You think nobody got all 20? I guess you may technically be correct, in that the portable tape player I used was not made by Sony.

[cotopaxi@mstdn.social]

@innowen @Shards
Lol! I can totally see that, too!
No one should trust me with a mallet, not with my limited patience with the stupid shenanigans of our times. I better stick to that old lady's broom--although a lot of corrective measures can be meted out with a broom, come to think of it.

[randulo@mastodon.social]

@Shards Allow me to add some perspective.

I recorded on wire. Yes a wire recorder.

Dial phone? What about no dial "get me Aldritch 1427".

Seen a TV test pattern at midnight with a Native American on one of the three channels

C'mon some of you have more

[shards@kind.social]

Apparently this is AI generated; I am so sorry for not noticing. It sucks that this is the world we are being forced into, where we have to analyse everything to such a degree.

Generative AI can eat my entire ass.
