Junk you got that you still use

[aka Cthulhu]

Essentially, what stuff you got that's a decade or more old that you still use?

Got a monoblock chair, the common chair for Southeast Asia, with it's legs sawn off when I was a kid so I could sit with my legs stretched out while having a back rest. It's now an outside chair, but back then it was my gaming chair.

I was so tempted to just take a picture of my twig and berries and say “that”

[Natural Born Farmer]

Got my truck brand new and it's almost old enough to drink now. In all that time it's never given me any significant mechanical issue, so I don't really feel a need to upgrade.

My coffee maker is a POS that's at least 15 years old, but it still makes the coffee fine. I laugh at your Keurig and it's one cup at a time technology.

In my desk at work I have a Snarff pencil topper that a friend gave me back in the late 80’s. Every once in a while I will bring him out, make him pop up over a cubicle wall or somebody’s monitor, and say (in a Snarff voice) “Liono’s in trouble. Snarff-Snarff!”

LOL! I wish I worked with you. That would make my day if we were cubicle neighbors and you did that.

My Gamecube is the oldest console I have that still works. Have to reset the calendar every time it boots up and my controller can be wonky at times but it still works like a charm.

my AOL email account

My Starter jackets. One is a zip-up with the logo on the chest, and the other is one of those oversized pullovers with the large team logo on the back. The latter is especially useful in winter.

My CD collection. I stream pretty much everything but the discs are a good backup if there’s an internet outage. And I like flipping through the booklets.

I wouldn’t call it junk because I still use it but I have a desk fan made in Ohio between 1952-1956 that has a cast iron base, metal blades and enough space between the bars in the “safety” cage that easily removed some kids’ fingers back in the day.

Think of that grey/green desk fan you’ve seen in every 1960’s/70’s tv show/movie.

Thing works like a charm almost 70 years later and creates a better breeze than modern plastic fans that break after a couple years

my Zakk Wylde wah pedal is 17 years old and this thing still works wonderfully, ive had other guitar pedals and other wah's that died out after probably 5 or 6 years, but this thing is a damn brick!

Still have my SNES from childhood. I still use my iPod classic in my car.

[DZ: WF Legacy]

Nintendo Power Punch Out trash bin. It's rusted to shit inside but the outside has really nice artwork of Little Mac upper-cutting Glass Joe. I've had it since I was 4-5.

I still have a lot of CDs and play them from time to time.

[ayumidah]

I won an iPod touch in a sweepstakes way back in 2010. There aren't a lot of things that I can still access on it, but google works, and I can read fics on it still. So that's typically what I do with it, haha.

[crashmatsbazz]

my VHS player still works, and the copy of The Blues Brothers I taped off the TV in 1988 still works as well.

[Push R Truth]

I have a red ( with black trim) MEMBERS ONLY Velcro trifold wallet that's been in my pocket since like 1985.

[Cvslfc123]

I have a lot of clothes that I bought 11/12 years ago that still fit and I wear them regularly.

My Dad has a frying pan my Grandma bought him over 30 years ago that he still uses.

I have a DVD Recorder/VHS Hybrid that my Dad bought at either TOPS Appliance City or PC Richard & Sons. This was back in 2005.

Ironically the DVD component is broken but the VHS player does work. Funny how the cutting edge thing doesn’t work yet the other component that relies on outdated technology does.

I've been eating with the same plates & utensils since I was born. My dad bought the set in the late 70s or early 80s.

Me too. I rotate a few in and out of my car (I never liked keeping them in a binder without their cases). I mostly listen to podcasts off my iPhone, but when I want to mix it up put on my car’s CD player. For the last few months the ECW soundtrack album has been living in there.
