Ask Lemmy

Probably my legs, or something 😜

• 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 old, big chest we store stuff in under the stairs is from 1883

Our staircase was built over two centuries ago, and still does its job!

My '97 car?
Clothing? Furniture?

I have a cherry wood cabinet from the 1890s that I use to store food. Every day I take a box of cereal from it and put it back.

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.

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 violin was made in 1614, but to be honest I use my practice violin daily and use that as my concert violin, and tune and play it weekly.

My brain (since 1990), or at least I have been trying.

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!

My wallet is the last piece of leather I will ever own.

The foundation of the building I live in is from the 1880’s. Does that count?

I'm in my 40s now, so I guess my body.

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)

Used to use a double edge razor from the 1960s, I still have it. Gillette Slim.

I just use a modern DE instead, 2015 I think. Feather AS-D2.

Both of them will probably outlast me. Especially the Feather, even though it's newer and therefore theoretically made with less care, it was made in Japan, and it's entirely stainless steel, not pot metal. Very strong. You'd need to run it over with a truck to break it.

If cared for, nothing is stopping the Gillette from going another 60 years either.

I've got a couple of cast iron skillets from the early sixties that I use pretty much every day.

Not exactly daily but the shovel I use to clean out my grill ashes was my grandfather's, hand forged and used for branding iron fires, gotta be 100 years old. Then a phonograph from 1960.

3 piece safety razor from the 1950s. And soon a watch from 1950 too. Its a wind up watch.

My razor is from 1912.

A stove spatula my mom had in the 1940s. Not daily but I use it routinely. I hand wash it instead of putting it through the dishwasher.

We also have my wife's grandmother's old, completely out-of-tune standup piano. Nobody in our house plays piano. We use it to take up space, accumulate clutter, and make sure that area of the room is unusable.

For me, the house I'm in was built in 1912 but it's still holding strong. My parents have me beat though, they got the original governor of south carolina's front doors which were from somewhere in the late 1700s

I have a drip coffee maker that's gotta be almost 40 now. It was given to me by an older family member when I moved into a new apartment. It still works fine as far as I can tell...

My dad was friends with the guy who designed the Aztec Hotel. He didn't want regular light fixtures originally, so he came up with an idea for lighted columns, and he made a prototype table-lamp sized. The was in 1925. The prototype is in my living room and I use it every day.

My back. Its getting creeky though.

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've been using the same coffee cup almost every day for the last 50+ years.

Yup, I'm old.

Physical item: LL Bean Laptop Bag. Was designed for laptops much bigger than the one I have now and it’s held up well… except for the buckles.

Digital: Rollercoaster Tycoon got it in a cereal box and I still play it today.
