Ask Lemmy

My back. Its getting creeky though.

Maybe the iron skillets. I don't think a day passes that I don't use those. Or my house, it's from the 1940s. Some of the furniture is older than that too, though I don't think there is any one piece I actively use each day.

Truly oldest? Double entry accounting, I use nearly every day and that's from around 1300.

I have a 1973 Gibson ripper bass and a 1971 ampeg svt v9 with a late 70s 8x10 ampeg cabinet. I don't use them daily but more than twice a week, they both still work perfectly. Just regular maintenance

I have a stove that is a little older then me. I have a cheese grater that no one in house kniws where it cane from or when we bought it. I have a towel i go in the 90s on a trip. That's about as old as a robotech art book i have kept since around then. And I have my grand father's dresser. Not sure how old that is

Fender Stratocaster, bought from a Best Buy musical instrument department probably 19ish years ago. Just put new strings on it yesterday and continued learning Dokken's In My Dreams. Fuck that second part of the solo..

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 washcloth I got when I was like 6.. I’m almost 40. It’s a really nice mesh washcloth and somehow it only has one extra hole that shouldn’t be there, as well as a seam for the edging that needs to be fixed.

I’ve used it almost daily for my face that whole time.

But the oldest thing I have that I sort of technically use is a wheelchair from WWI. It functions as a chair in my living room. I don’t really think it counts, being furniture, though.

Probably my Ron Jon Surf shop beach towel I got while on holiday in Florida in 1997 (I live in the UK). Still in great condition and I wouldn't say I've looked after it particularly.

Also honourable mention to my oldest tech which is an HP touchsmart 600 PC I use for youtube in my bedroom, it's from 2011 and still just about hanging on.

A large tooth comb I’ve had since middle school. I used it everyday until a couple of years ago when I switched to a brush better designed for my hair type, but I still use it on occasion. Not sure how I haven’t lost that thing throughout the years.

ETA: I’ve had the thing for over 2 decades!

P-38 can opener from World War II. This little thing is the best can opener I've ever owned.

• house, built in 1900
• me, built in 1974
• pocket knife, built in 1994

My 1880 foursquare.

My dick. I've used that every day since I was born.

The dresser in my bedroom was my dad's and it's older than me. I think it's around 50 years old.

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.

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