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 have a black leather belt that I have worn for 28 years. I’m wearing it now.

That has to be one sturdy belt. Have you been using the same hole over the years?

I don't know what his sexual activities have to do with it?

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 1 points 1 year ago

I was just wandering how stretched out his hole is. Nothing dirty.

[-] AwwTopsy@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, I understand now. Apologies for the confusion. I'd guess his hole is quite stretched out by now.

My brown leather Levis brand belt is from about 1986. I have other belts, but that one is my favorite. Still fits, I still wear it two or three times per week. About 20 years ago, the stitching around the buckle broke, so I used a heavy needle and thick thread to restitch it. It has a great worn patina that can't be faked.

Tell us what else you are wearing.
