Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

My Auto Zone Rewards card is from 2007, hard to think that the card is close to 20 years old now. Last time I used it, I used it to scrape glue off the side of a truck LOL!

Not posting a picture of mine because it's extremely eroded, plus I've been posting it in social media as a curiosity, but I got one of these:

That "weird coin" used to be a bus ticket in my city, Curitiba, in the 90s. You'd insert it into a turnstile inside the bus to get access to the seats. Nowadays they got replaced with electronic cards.

I have something like this. It's a toll booth coin to get across the man made causeway and onto the island I live on. We used to have to pay to get home. The toll booths were removed in the early 90's.

I'm sure electronic cards are better, but that's pretty cool!

The cards are way better (less likely to get stolen/lost), but I kind of miss using those coin-like… voucher-tokens-whatever.
