We went here to say the same. Hey fellow hydrohomie!

Going prehistoric on us. Nice.

Is it though? Aren't the molecules constantly breaking apart and reforming?

Is this some kind of Ship of Theseus, but extra wet?

Oh wonderful, I'm glad to hear it. Don't suppose you have any tips for navigating her incessant quilting talk while you're here?

[-] sthetic@lemmy.ca 14 points 6 months ago

To put joking aside, I have been trying to make a sort of quilt pattern to add to one of my sweatshirts, but I'm not good at sewing and don't have a sewing machine. So I would probably listen to her talk about quilts and how to make the edges look good.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

I would also take quilting advice from OP's mum

Came here to say, "my husband."

A handmade ceramic mug I bought when I first got out of homelessness. Probably about fifteen years old now. It's white with a flared base and motif of a bison on it.

Nice mug bro!

My wife. 🥰

It's the game of Go. Also known as baduk, weiqi, igo. It's a board game known for being pretty old.

[-] naught101@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hell yeah. Go is amazing. Crazy that something with such simple rules can be so deep.. Wish I had some locals to play with

[-] sockman@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago

A manual transmission. It'll be a sad day when I have to go automatic/EV

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I just bought my first manual transmission car! I'm loving it so far, definitely hold out as long as you can.

The Sun

(the firey ball of doom, not the garbage newspaper)

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

To be fair the newspaper is also a giant ball of Doom

I've got a trumpet (YTR-6320) from the 80s I bought used a bit back. It looks beat to hell but it just sings! It's as light as a feather aswell- I can play with one hand in my pocket.

Media-wise, I love some old 1930s swing and jazz tracks. It's super interesting to hear how similar some songs are to modern music.

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That's freaking awesome! Trumpet is so cool, I have one that I wanna learn to play someday.

[-] GuyFi@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Hell yeah! It's a tough instrument, but it's the most expressive one (in my opinion). Trumpets always sound like the person who's playing them, almost like an extension of your personality. I think there's something wonderful about that.

[-] Damarus@feddit.org 10 points 6 months ago

Probably this ball of water and dirt we're living on.

[-] neoman4426@fedia.io 3 points 6 months ago

That big ball of nuclear fusion you can see sometimes is also pretty alright

My PS2. Thanks to Homebrew and some gadgets I bought I can to play a ton of games in their original hardware and it's been awesome.

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

I still got my PS2 with the HDD modded to load backups. Haha.

[-] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 8 points 6 months ago

My apartment. I don't like it very much but it was built in 1928. So "enjoy" is a stretch but I use it daily.

[-] Lasherz12@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Fountain pens. They don't make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they're not ubiquitous. An old "wet noodle" italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.

My house was built in the late 1800s. That or a chair that my great great grandpa bought

[-] halfeatenpotato@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

Normally, I'd answer my husband. But today, I'll say Skyrim. I picked it up again after multiple years, and I have loved and played this game since its release in 2011.

Talk all the shit you want, this is one of my favorite nostalgic kicks.

I have many things that are very old and enjoy but I don't use them on a daily basis. Maybe my typewriter is what I use more often.

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

For me it's definitely a game! I'll still boot up an emulator to play super metroid on SNES, and that game is 31 years old. I can't think of anything else I regularly do or enjoy that's quite that old, but I could definitely be forgetting something.

Edit: upon more thought chess is way older and I at least do a puzzle daily so maybe that counts. I don't play actual games that often though.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Edith Piaf never gets old

[-] Mothra@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

I still keep a few old things around but I'm not near them or using them on a daily basis.

The only exception is one necklace, which I always keep on even when showering. I started using it about a decade ago, but it belonged to my mother since her teenager years.

So yes, that's an item that's old and I enjoy on a daily basis

Sweet sleep. Speaking of which, back to bed I go. 😴💤
