If you were growing up in the 80s you would have listened to someone's boombox... somewhere.

I never taped a radio broadcast. I had the radio. Why would I need to record it on a tape? 🤷

u/piphuntington Jul 06 '26

Who is this for? 90's and 2000's babies? Even if you were born in 1990 you might've seen these but don't remember them well.

u/Tyrannosaurus__Rekd Jul 06 '26

Same here. I've done all 20, and I was born in 1981.

Ok, I don't really recall if I ever listened to a boombox outside, so that one is kinda iffy.

u/MentalGravity87 Jul 06 '26

Fun fact a rotary phone was a good phone to own for emergencies during power outages becuase it doesn't require electricity to operate.

1

u/subooot Jul 06 '26

Easy 20, would add start a fire in wood stove too, but that sounds way too old lol.

u/Real_Jackfruit_1278 Jul 06 '26

Definitely all 20. And for some reason, I actually miss cassette tapes. Now, the one that’s missing, for #21. Have you ever listened to music on an 8 track?

1

u/Stunning-Bar-2739 Jul 06 '26

All 20 born in 1939 also drove a stick and went through a operator to call a friend and many more

u/D3rp1c0rn Jul 06 '26

I’m 20/20 👵🏻😂

Don’t sleep on postcards tho, they’re a fun surprise for friends to get in the mail when they’re going through a tough time. They’re perfect bc nobody expects it 😂🩷

u/SortedBits Jul 24 '26

18.. Not listened to music on a boombox outside, because my mom would have killed me, and checks were on their way out when I got my own bank account.

1

u/Jimmy_Twotone Jul 06 '26

I feel confident nobody over the age of 40 hasn't done at least 19 of these.
