Age Test: Do You Get This Joke?

~~Cuthbert~~ · 03-19-2017, 01:30 PM

The cassette meme is all over the internet. Even if I was a teenager I'd have got the joke as I've seen it posted so many times.

Other forms of audio were out by 2001 but that doesn't mean people could afford them.

VHS? Pfffft.

Talk to me about Beta.

Yeah, VHS is hardly an age test. That **** was still going on well into the 2000s.

Just sayin, since you seem to have a very limited idea of what knowledge millennials actual have on such "outdated" formats.

How long before kids look at this and say "but how do you make a call on it?"

I had one in my room. Didn't work, but it was fun.

I probably haven't used one of those in two decades at least. I'd probably look at it for a second to make sure I remember how to use it before I tried, cause you'd probably look like a huge idiot fumbling around with one of those things.

Giggity.

I miss these! Though, granted those made it difficult if you're the type who paces the house wildly when on the phone.

Re: Phones

I remember when you only had to dial 5 numbers to make a call. People were so pissed when they increased it to 7.
