      I’m at 1 as well for never owning an encyclopedia. I’m actually surprised how many have. I used the ones at the library. I’m assuming this means the physical book kind, and not a digital one like Encarta or something.

        I’d count digital ones as well.

        That’s how I didn’t get the point since none of my leatherback encyclopedias is a complete set (yay backyard sales).

        Like a getting movies in a public library can count as renting at Blockbusters imho?

          I wouldn’t think so on the movie thing. I think it would have to be a video rental store, although not necessarily specifically named Blockbuster. Technically I still “rent” movies at my library through their Kanopy streaming service, but I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the list.

        Yeah this one is pretty niche nowadays.

        I did it for my nephews because I found it funny to give them time capsules of what kind of music was broadcasted when they were born. And cassettes are a good medium for long time storage :p
