…huh. I’m genuinely surprised at how many things in my home aren’t twenty years old.
Same here, it would be quicker to say what’s newer than that. All the new shit broke so there’s not that much left.
I have swiss army knife, it’s 19 years old so not quite 20, i use it everyday. I take it on every longer journey and there’s virtually no situation where it doesn’t help in some way… even if it’s the silly toothpick, I’m always happy to have it.
I have my grandparents cookware.
That pyrex and fireking stuff is legendary.
Whirlpool washer and dryer from the 80’s. They came with the house and they are INVINCIBILE.
Damn straight. Still rocking the Whirlpool dishwasher that came with the house in 1992. Unfortunately the Whirlpool oven range that came with the house is barely functional. The oven still works, but I can’t get the pilots to ignite on the stovetop. The Whirlpool dryer still works effectively, though it could be better.
Currently remodeling my house, so I’m definitely planning to upgrade to a Whirlpool washer-dryer combo, and I’ll likely get a Whirlpool dual-fuel oven range. And if push comes to shove, I might get a new Whirlpool dishwasher.
I mean, unless Whirlpool’s products were hit with the enshittification stick…

do I have bad news for you.
do your due diligence and read bad reviews for any models you’re looking at buying. no company will purchase bad reviews and you can clearly tell if the reviewer is an absolute walnut that couldn’t pour piss from a boot.
usually I’ll find a model that has bad reviews from a bunch of buffoons then check out the good reviews from multiple locations, the more obscure the source the better. bestbuy.com? no thanks. applianceguyaskingwhy.com? that’s a winner.
My damn life.
Kitchen utensils, Cupboards, furnitures, framed pictures, our car & some tools.

Do you call it Chalmers?
Mine still has a yoshi sticker I wrote my name on when I was five.
Pretty sure most of my stuff is over 20 years old at this point. My razor is at least 60.
I have too many old razors.
My current razor is a feather asd2, less than a decade old.
A wall clock that was gifted to my grandparents on their marriage anniversary, and I’ve been fighting everyone in the house to keep it.
That clock is close to 40 years old, and still is functional. It’s a simple clock made in Germany. No protective glass or a seconds hand. Just a plain clock that has turn brown over time. Everyone in my home thinks it’s trash. I think it’s an engineering marvel.
I thought you meant you were competing over who gets to be the owner, but no. Keep fighting that good fight! Perhaps inviting your household to its 40th birthday will win hearts and minds.
I still use a stepladder that my parents bought (used) in the '90s.
A lot of my books. Two harddrives in my server. My couch. My tables. My chairs. My bike. A computer case. A laptop.
Some are not just over 20, they’re over 50 or in some cases over 100. In one case more than 300. I’ll let you guess which would be which.
The laptop is 300+.
My first Costco purchase was 19 years ago, my Philips 47” LCD TV is still alove and kicking and has outlived 2 other TVs we have had in that time.
