Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Most of it lol! My microwave was built in sept 1983, I have a scythe and a machete both from the 1920's, my amp was bought new in 1998, the speakers are even older.

The vast amount of furnishings are older as well, aside from my tv (3yrs), the freezer (3 yrs), and my fridge (4yrs). Washer is I think around 10, the dryer may be 20ish.

your microwave reminds me of my nana’s that would pump out warm air when it was on. right at my face height when i was a child. 😂

It does actually. There's two warm air exhaust vents on top of the microwave that pushes air towards you. (Well the right hand one is an intake vent, the left is the actual exhaust.)

Yep, definitely feels like it at times, and the things that end up needing to be replaced are the newer ones.
