Ask Lemmy

Probably my legs, or something 😜

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I have a Razer mousepad that I've used for probably 15 years now.

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.

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.

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).

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

"Heet" liniment. I have an old bottle found when my father died. It still burns but it helps with the arthritis and other pain.

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!

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

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

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

My razor is from 1912.

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

Yup, I'm old.

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.

I have a 100 year old porcelain doll. Her name is Agnes, she has real human hair and is definitely cursed. Does that count?

Other than that, I have a pre-WW2 windup clock that still works perfectly. It's a solid steel brick.

I have clothes that are more or less 20 years old. Kitchen utensils that are 25 years old. But I think my body is the oldest thing I have that still works, more or less.

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.

A manual coffee grinder from about 1910.

I figure I need it because if the electric’s broke I’ll need coffee to fix it.

I have a ninja turtle cereal bowl from when I was a kid that I still use. It's from 1988.
