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.

If it's truly daily use only, then surprising myself, I think it might actually be my phone.

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).

Probably my original day 1 psp.

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

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

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.

My wallet was a gift on my 12th birthday.

I am ollllld.

"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 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.

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

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

My body. Had it all my life and I'm planning on using it until I die. Or until I can put my consciousness in a robot body if that becomes possible first.

Technically the rest of you is basically just as old but hooeee I know it sure doesn't feel that way
