Sometimes I will use something and realize I’ve owned it forever. It’s a nice change in our throwaway reality. I think my personal record is a bicycle multi-tool I got for one of my first bikes, ~25 years ago. Still have it, still use it. When it comes to electronic devices I have a Panasonic mini Hi-Fi from ~2005. Never felt like changing it.

What’s your record?

    I’ve had the same pair of earbuds since 2003, but they kicked the bucket two years ago. That would make it 18 years. As a teen I was very careless with them, regularly forgot them in the pocket and they went through countless trips through the washing machine and dryer, so I am amazed they lasted that long.
