What's your fun/weird skill, trick, achievement etc that is now outdated and therefore doesn't resonate with people the same as it previously did?

I can remember random information easily. It was cool 10 years ago, but these days you achieve the same effect with a quick google. Even information about people like how they just got back from holiday, they probably posted it online, of course you remember that.

I can (or could, it's been a while since I've tried) dial an old phone without using the keypad or dial, just tapping the hooks that the phone normally sits on. My school used to have a phone with a lock on the dial so this skill was extremely useful, but I can't think of the last time I even saw a landline now.

I'm great at repairing cassette tapes with a biro and sellotape.
