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.

I bought recently a Psion Revo organizer and now use it to, well, organize my life

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.

Probably my Granddads 1950s East German office chair. Got it when he passed since I always used to sit in it when drawing at his desk.

Gas spring is a bit leaky and the leather is a bit faded but it's more solid and comfy than anything new under €500 I tried.

Alarm clock I bought at the end of 2006 or early 2007. About 18 years ago

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Hmm, do you literally only own things you bought new?

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The question was about what I use daily.

The oldest thing I own is an end table from late 70s. Don’t use it very often though

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Ah, okay. There has to be someone out there that's fully in this material century like that.

My wallet was a gift on my 12th birthday.

I am ollllld.

Crumpler bag, Ibanez guitar, lammy pens, and darn tough socks have all held up well

I have a Marvin the Martian mug I got in 1995 for my 10th birthday. I don’t use it daily, but every few days for sure.

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

I wear a cord jacket from first grade as a bolero (I'm in my mid 30s). I got older stuff but this usually weirds people out.

[-] StonerCowboy@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

Probably my original day 1 psp.

[-] poutinewharf@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

My house is from 1884 so that’s used pretty often.

I’ve moved continents so I haven’t brought too many older items with me generally speaking

My flat was built in the 70s. So probably that. My violin is much older but I don't play much these days (certainly not daily).

[-] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago

Bedside table.

Maybe 50 years old.

[-] Tailz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The house that I'm in was built in the 1950's. It's small but cozy!
