Just wondering what passes the test of time? I personally have an old Casio watch and if you count fruit trees, those are pretty old too.
About 15 years go I had to go somewhere that was much much colder than I anticipated, so we made an emergency drive to the closest town, and I bought the warmest jacket they had. It was like $300, but I never regretted it. Its the most practical, comfy, jacket ive ever owned and doesn’t look half bad - even has a hoody you can clip on and off. Got me through snow as well, but its not water proof.
Love that jacket.
- My house was built in 1960
- My car was made in 1974 (A land rover series 3)
- I go to sleep listening to podcasts on a Sansa MP3 player from 2000 that I’ve used every night since.
- My body, issued in 1971.
The radio alarm clock, couldn’t find the specific year only to narrow towards the late 70s.
My flat, the building was built around the beginning of the 70s.
My brain (since 1990), or at least I have been trying.
I use a nice handmade wooden desk every day. No idea how old it is but my mom bought it at an antique store in the 70’s, so it could be 80+ years old. And it’s still in fantastic shape!
I put a little string of fake pearls on my daughter about every day, and they were mine and my sisters’ when I was a toddler, so they’re about 30. I don’t know how they’ve survived so many toddlers cause they’d break with any real pulling. She loves them though and is very careful with them. She also uses tiny baby sized silverware from my mom’s babyhood(early 70s) It’s cute and funny to watch her use miniature stuff that’s just her size
I think that’s the oldest thing other than furniture (we use my great grandfather’s bedroom suite)
Our staircase was built over two centuries ago, and still does its job!
Do you have no fear of splinters‽ Cause I know those stairs would give me a splinter just by looking at them wrong
Looks dangerous as fuck but pretty cool!
I have a cheap plastic hair brush my mum bought me over 40 years ago when I was about 6 or 7, she said it cost a dollar and surprised I still use it daily.
There is nothing wrong with it, so it lives on.
I use my great grandfather’s bottle opener. It’s magnetic and sticks to my fridge, and it’s over 100 years old. Works great!
I have a Brazilian bottle opener that was a marketing gift from a store. The phone number has 4 digits.
I’m in my 40s now, so I guess my body.
Most of it is a decade old at best ^^

Apparently we are just the brain and eyeballs(and female gonads) piloting a meat sack of Theseus.
Meat sack of Theseus is an excellent band name
lol this is excellent, bravo ^^
And some rat taste buds!
I’ve got a couple of cast iron skillets from the early sixties that I use pretty much every day.
I use my grandma’s and great grandma’s cast iron weekly.
My razor is from 1912.
I came here to say my safety razor from 1932 that I use daily, but you beat me by a couple decades!
Gem razors ftw!
My absolute favorite! And a good pickup on your side. Gem gang represent.
I find it so surprising that the single edge gem blades didn’t take over the shaving world, compared to the standard double edged safety razor. The angle is built right into the razor head, it’s essentially idiot proof!
Straight razor or safety?
Safety single edge. The only razor I’ve ever been comfortable with.
My dick
Enjoy it while it lasts
I’ve been using the same coffee cup almost every day for the last 50+ years.
Yup, I’m old.
I can’t believe how automatic it is!
My grandfather loved to collect old shit just for the fun of repairing it, that’s kind of how I got into my own hobby.
I remember fixing one of these with him, and actually we made a fuckload of toast because it was pretty cool.

Ok fuck me I need to find one of these on ebay
Spine-tingling toast!
