Did that as a kid. Every day.

I’m so old I still get the newspaper daily.

I’m so old, I was long an adult before people started not reading the newspaper. I subscribed to the newspaper, and it was delivered to my house by a kid on a bicycle. I found my wife through a personal ad in a newspaper, a wife I’ve been divorced from for 16 years, now. I got all but my most recent job through want ads in the newspaper.

Y’all aren’t old for just remembering when other people read the newspaper. Y’all aren’t old at all.

I had a paper route my man. It was decent money for a kid who could barely drive. A shitton of people cared a lot about their newspaper back then and would complain if it was wet or on the grass or wherever.

I’m young (mid 20s) but I’ve started reading my local newspaper. I’ve been trying to live a slower life and I’m cutting out social media. I even limit lemmy to 30 minutes a day.

UK, my dad would go to the cornershop to buy The Mirror.

I was wondering what he was doing with all these mirrors.

Turns out The Mirror is a newspaper.

Used to remember reading the comic strips in the funday times.

As I got older I used to read the Hexham Courant to see who’d been arrested I used to go to school with

I would come home from school and read the paper.

Started with the comics. Gotta have that daily chuckle fix. And Dear Abby and the astrology stuff is right there.

Then the sports section.

And then a few headlines, maybe a little entertainment, a crossword if i was feeling that bored…

When i was an adult we had cable news you could consume with alcohol. Which was a different problem.

I’m so old I remember being young.

I remember asking to borrow my parents’ newspaper so I could use my silly putty to make copies of pictures.

Also reading comics, and reusing the newspaper so I could make papier mâche (or other crafts) out of it. I learned to weave by using strips of newspaper to make a mat.

I remember when radios were called transistors.

I delivered newspapers for people to read (shit, slave wage job btw, even for a kid)

Twice daily

We still get a “local rag” that we peruse every Sunday morning. Oh no, John Meyer has died and the Hauptstraße is closed again.

People still read the newspaper at the bakery cafe (they take the Badische Zeitung).

When I was in high school they still delivered newspapers to machines near bus stops. Sometimes I would drop a quarter in to get one so I had something to read on the bus. It was mostly for comics, sports, and current events. When I was done I would leave it on the bus or drop it off in the hallway at school.

Gone are those days.
