From this thread I can endorse Facebook, TikTok, Reddit (still not sure what it is) and Chick-fil-a
Never read Lord of the Rings, or saw the movie.
Never been to a soccer game, including High School, College, Professional.
I have never had prepared food delivered, not the newfangled app things and not Domino’s in the old days.
We do not have any smart home devices (not Alexa type, nor any smart doorbell, thermostat, etc that can be monitored remotely)
I have never eaten at Chik Fil A, but have eaten Chik Fil A food purchased by the folks organizing a meeting or camp.
Have never been a member of a warehouse club. But I have tagged along with my sister bought supplements and skincare products at Costco that my mother in law in China asked for.
Never used Twitter or X. Heard it quoted plenty of times in other media but have never been on the platform itself.
Never did Twitter (X) or Truth Social or Reddit or Tiktok. Heck, work won’t even let me have TikTok on my phone if I’m set up to access the corporate infrastructure, which I am. I’ve thought about signing up with Bluesky, only because my wife posts there sometimes, but so far I haven’t.
You guys are all the social media I need. 
I’m sure I have countless household devices - thermostat, garage door opener, ehatever - that COULD be monitored remotely. But not by ME!
I don’t eat out often. If I had a hankering for a chicken sandwich, I’d have no difficulty finding a restaurant whose business plan did not reflect such an objectionable philosophy.
For similar reasons I won’t set foot in a Hobby Lobby. And if anything I am shopping at Costco more than ever since they are one of the few companies standing up to Trump’s attack on DEI.
No X/Twitter (although I did grab my preferred username years ago, I have never posted). No Instagram or TicTok. I still have a Facebook account but almost never log on.
OTOH, I have a lot of home automation (as little as possibly cloud-based) since I am a sucker for gadgets. I have read and seen movies of LotR and Harry Potter. I draw the line at the comic book movies, I saw the first couple of Batman movies (Keaton, Nicholson, DeVito) and the Christopher Reeve Superman movie. And the first Iron Man, at which point I said “this is really dumb”.
I’ve never been to Costco, either.
Have never been to Disney World.
Have never been on a cruise.
Have never been to the Grand Canyon, or any national or state park/monument/forest west of the Mississippi.
I’ve never read a Stephen King novel.
I’ve never had surgery or taken a prescription drug.
I’ve never ridden in a limo, ambulance, or a big-rig semi/truck.
I’ve never worn jewelry or gotten a tattoo.
I’ve never used an Apple product.
I’ve never cooked anything.
I’ve never been unemployed.
I’ve never been on Twitter or Instagram.
I’ve never gambled.
I’ve never eaten a tomato.
I’ve never had a car payment or car loan.
Guess I need to get out more. 
That one shocked me. i don’t cook a lot, but I find “never” to be shocking.
That’s an impressive list!
Yeah - the cooking stands out. Approximately how old are you, and what do you eat? Never brewed coffee or made a piece of toast?
Several folk have mentioned Disney. We have 2 grandkids, aged 5 and 10. We knew they wanted to go to DW, so we offered to take them. My wife and I both asked each other, “do we have to go with?”
We’re going next spring. Good LORD, is that gonna be a pricey trip! Oh well - just spending the kids’ inheritance!
I’ve never been on a cruise and it’s not something I would enjoy. I never use Siri on my phone or Alexa in my home, or any of the other versions.
Never been to Vegas, or done any gambling.
Don’t use Alexa or Ok Google or Uber, UberEats or Doordash.
Haven’t been on an ocean cruise (but did enjoy a river cruise, which seems very different)
I went to Disneyland when I was 5 but as an adult I was firmly in the non-Disney camp and looked down at all the Disney fans. But then we took our kids to Disney World and liked it enough to go back twice. Disney is smart at providing experiences that adults can enjoy (or pulling suckers in)
I gotta say that if we’re trying to sound like a bunch of tiresome geezers and clueless stick-in-the-muds with no life, we’re sure collectively succeeding.
Me certainly included. The longer everyone else’s lists get, the more items I see that apply to me but were left off my list.
Gaah! This is an uncomfortable mirror to stare into.
I find it odd that some people don’t understand paying money for convenience. If you don’t want to that’s fine but it’s not an unusual concept.
I’ve never watched non-Ghibli anime.
I’ve never read Heinlein, Lovecraft, Pratchett, or George R. R. Martin.
Yea, I’ve done that. I guess I think of “cooking” as a somewhat more formal & complex endeavor: combining ingredients based on a recipe, and using a stove to cook it.
Same here. I’d rather eat broken glass.
Been to Vegas twice. Once was to camp overnight and once was for a conference. No gambling, no shows, no desire to ever go back.
Never been to a Mexican food fast-food chain like Taco Bell.
Never ordered an Uber or other such vehicle, although I’ve ridden in an Uber that was ordered by someone else. Our niece the pilot uses Uber all the time.
The only pro sports games I’ve ever been to have been women’s soccer matches.
Walmart and Ikea have been mentioned several times. These are very different stores, but what they both have in common for me is that I visit them very rarely and generally only for one specific item. For Walmart, it’s generally for some specific small household item where quality matters little or not at all, taking advantage of the fact that there’s one conveniently nearby.
It’s been many years since I’ve bought any kind of furniture at Ikea, but I did get some nice stuff there years ago, like a lovely rosewood cabinet from their business-supply section that is just the right size and height for use as a TV stand. These days, my visits there avoid the main furniture section entirely, and I sneak in against the traffic and go directly to the Marketplace section downstairs, usually in search of various kitchen items or utilitarian chinaware or cookware. It’s also sometimes a good place to buy bedding, lighting, and since I’m there anyway, cheap batteries.
Costco is a different matter. Judging from some of the posts on this board and general chit-chat, Costco seems to be a go-to place for many. They seem to have a good reputation as an ethical business with quality products. And I occasionally get little mini-catalogs from them enticing me to sign up for a membership. My problem with them is that unless I bought one or two fairly big-ticket items, I’m not sure I’d get value out of a membership. Plus I’d be frustrated at the bulk sizes of much of their packaging. I’m just not that big a consumer.
So - mac 'n cheese? Never scrambled an egg? I’ve cooked some decent meals using the microwave…
I’m no Julia Child or anything, but to say you “never cooked anything” invites requests for some clarification.
Fair enough. Tho IMO, food buying and prep is not difficult enough to warrant the (IMO) high fees for Grub Hub. The issue is not whether one would pay for convenience. Instead, it is how much one would pay for how much convenience.
Unless I were uber wealthy, I would far prefer to spend that premium elsewhere than food delivery. (Checking which forum we are in…)
I’ve never been to Vegas, and never set foot in a gambling casino for any reason. Gambling is not a vice that appeals to me at all, and if I want good food or a show, there are other places to go.
Well, there is one exception-- on honeymoon with my wife in Aruba, the hotel we stayed in had a casino area with slot machines. Out of pure curiosity I turned a $20 bill into 20 dollar tokens, and fed them one by one into a slot machine. And…
…nothing. You’d think the machine would be programmed to spit out a couple tokens every 10th or 20th try to keep your interest, but I may as well have been feeding the tokens one by one down a sewer grate for all the positive results or gratification I got from it.
I very, very rarely get food delivery, by Uber Eats or any other “eats”. I hate the unpredictable wait and then the rigmarole of trying to use a credit card to pay for it and then having to figure out how to leave a tip. It doesn’t help that these benighted services mostly demand that you use their smartphone “app”. There is no three-letter word in the language that I despise more than “app”, and it’s not even a real word!
Speaking of which, I have used Uber exactly zero times in my life. If I need transportation on a one-time basis, I will pick up the “telephone” and call this wondrous service called “a taxi”. You youngsters will not be familiar with these terms, but trust me, these things exist. If I need transportation on an ongoing basis for a few days, I will pick up the “telephone” and call “Enterprise” and have them take me to a rental car.
I did once try to install the Uber app on my smartphone, thinking I could at least use it with my wireless connection without subscribing to a data plan, but the “app” informed me that it did not see fit to install on my phone because it didn’t like the version of Android I was running. It was really so very much easier to pick up the “telephone” (an innovation credited to one Alexander Graham Bell) and summon a “taxi”.
