I used to feel good about never having had any debt. Until I wanted to buy a house last year and found I have no credit history either.
FTFY:
I never got into the calculator thing. I started out doing the homework calculations in FORTRAN on a CDC Cyber 700. Partly it’s just the convenience of having a full keyboard, so you didn’t have to stop and look at the keys to figure out what is where.
Contact lenses. I’ve worn glasses for at least 23,000 days in a row.
I have no need of a house. Houses are for pussies. I prefer to live among the trees, as nature intended.
I am not trendy-I like the styles of the 1940’s. Art Deco is also my style.
I don’t drink bottled water-H2O from the tap is fine for me.
I don’t “vacation” in popular places-I prefer boring places.
I don’t eat “organic” foods-I like the standard stuff.
I NEVER say share instead of tell or feel instead of think.
I don’t have a television.
I don’t use shampoo, just water.
I use soap instead of shaving cream.
I usually ride my bicycle to work.
When I get to work, the vehicle I drive for business purposes is a Mitsubishi i Miev, which is 100% electric, zero emissions, uses no gasoline at all.
I haven’t eaten beef or pork since 1992.
I haven’t spent a single penny at McDonald’s since 1998.
I stopped eating at all fast food restaurants in 2011.
I usually buy clothing from thrift stores.
I never buy anything from Wal-Mart, and I rarely shop at Target or K-Mart or Sears.
I almost never go to the mall.
When I get plastic items, like a single-use fork, I use it several times before I eventually throw it away.
100% serious, no sarcasm here.
I have no use for irony.
I don’t use words. What you see here are not words. They are simply thoughts conveyed in these shapely, black lines and curves, placed in proximity to each other because they are cold.
I have the air conditioner set to 68. Had I not had the air conditioner to 68, these “thought” things would be scattered all over the page, making less sense than this post.
Most exemplary! this explanation depicting methodology wherein cognitive apparitions manifest into contrastable markings.
Certainly unseasonable morning temperatures currently experienced locally would account for this person implementing grander vocabulary segmentation.
Burrrrrr!
Don’t wake to an alarm clock, never have, unless I’m catching a plane.
Have never owned a bathroom scales. No weight issues, why bother?
Game console. They got more expensive just as life changes arrived, so we never took it up.
Car. I’ve never owned one or a driver’s licence, either.
Hi Def TV, haven’t really noticed because we’ve never had it. Didn’t really feel a need.
Cell phone. Have a new ipad Mini with a text app, seems to fit my needs perfectly.
(Don’t really feel superior though. I do feel fortunate though!)
I don’t use my elbows. I keep my arms locked straight at the elbows all the time. Who needs 'em? I’ve got wrists and shoulders that rotate just fine.
Eating is a challenge, though. And brushing my teeth. And doing… other things.
From Weird Al’s Twitter feed:
“I don’t even own a churn”–Amish hipster
I do not use jackboots when I moderate, which makes me superior to the other moderators. Instead, I wear comfy moccasins made from the skin of spammers and scammers.
As the dismissive Klingon said, “P’shaw!” I hated hipsters long before hating hipsters was cool.
This still is page 1 for those of us cool enough to know how to change the number of posts per page in our User CP.
I and the rest of my kilt-wearing brethren wholeheartedly agree.
You have two? Where I’m from we do perfectly well with just one - getting around, eating food, fighting with lightsabers.
Pah, I was posting in the thread before the OP started it.
Plus, every time I watch Porn then look down, I feel very superior.
Since this is a thread about what your DON’T use, I’m not impressed.
I do, however, feel superior.
Sex.
Oh, wait a second…

The problem I’ve had with that is if someone links you to page 79 of a thread, you have to divide it by 4 lol… but I guess people should use links to individual posts.
Since each individual member can set their viewing option to anything from 5 per page to 200 per page, linking to (or even referring to) a particular page of a thread is completely pointless and often misleading. Linking to a particular post within the thread, however, always works regardless of settings.
