In honour of my getting older … let’s hear everyone’s numbers.

I’m a 20 btw … every single thing on that list, I’ve done.

20…in fact some of these I still do.

I've done everything here.
I even sent a postcard to another Litster this summer.

I once spent hours on our last remaining rotary phone calling every electronics store in the NYC phone book to get the best price on a Walkman on which I later listened to songs on a cassette I’d taped off of the radio using a boombox.

Fun fact: when our family first got push button phones, we had to dial them slowly because the phone company wasn’t ready for tone dialing and the phones on pulse required a second or two to register the button you pushed. If you dialed too fast it turned into a garble of pulses that the phone company’s equipment couldn’t decipher.

Get yourself to the eye doctor you old crone!

Umm... Methinks you've got your scoring reversed.

Yay! Reading comprehension for the win!

20. No surprise -- I am ancient, and this is a pretty common list of things.

I’ve also booked an eye doctor appointment for your ancient eyes.

Sssoooo you would be 0.....

I'm 1..... typewriter, hand wrote stuff and then by the time I had to write papers we had computers.

The monocle serves you well.

Oh yeah, it's the holidays, isn't it?

@SalaciousMonkey22 you're the expert on euphemisms. Am I reading this right?

I don’t know that I’m an expert per se, but yes. Yes you are.

What apocalypse do you people foresee where we lose the capacity to make automatic transmissions but retain the ability to make manual ones? It’s more useless than learning cursive writing for almost everyone.

Manually recreating manual transmissions would be MUCH easier than automatics. As a stepping stone back to our current or future capabilities, that'd be about the only way I can think of such a scenario happening. Even then, it ignores modern rapid-prototyping 3D printing in metal - layered scintering or the like - assuming modern computer tech persists thru the apocalypse - not a given, with all the alternatives out there, but there're cases on both sides.

I would assume most of Lit will get a full 20. I'm probably one of the few people that have done #11 in the past year, too!

Ooh, that sounds naughty! (looks up what #11 is)....

Disappointing, and you're in the 'cool kids club' (IE, those whose childhoods are long dead) who're still sending faxes.

We're never going to go back to manual transmissions. I make a bold, and incredibly boring prediction that we're already looking at the end of the automatic. CVTs will become robust enough to handle most loads (heh) outside of heavy equipment needs.

First of all, with electric vehicles, there isn't a traditional transmission. I think we could increase their efficiency further if we did though, so less juice is used at highway speeds.

Automatics are now more efficient than manuals as well.

Haven't you seen "Sleeper"? We already know that hundreds of years from now, there will still be old school VW bugs parked in caves, that will start and run just fine. So, it isn't about being able to make a new transmisison, it's about being able to drive whatever is in front of you to get your ass out of there right now.

Does having watched "Sleeper" in a movie theater belong on that "I'm old" list?

Nah, just having watched "Sleeper" at all did that.

Just checking in from subbing in an English IV class (so mostly HS seniors). This particular class is not exactly the best and brightest. But some of them have a way with words that's downright poetic. Like the guy who just boasted that he gets his girlfriend so wet he needs to "bring the little bread pieces and eat up all that pussy fondue." The imagery and creative wordsmithing these kids are capable of... it's like being surrounded by the next Robert Frosts and Maya Angelous.

I’m torn between the or the reaction with this one.

Nah, @SalaciousMonkey22 has cinematographic taste and refinement

Judging by my Spotify wrapped more like 15. And female.
