A large tooth comb I’ve had since middle school. I used it everyday until a couple of years ago when I switched to a brush better designed for my hair type, but I still use it on occasion. Not sure how I haven’t lost that thing throughout the years.
ETA: I’ve had the thing for over 2 decades!
I have a Razer mousepad that I've used for probably 15 years now.
P-38 can opener from World War II. This little thing is the best can opener I've ever owned.
My dick. I've used that every day since I was born.
The dresser in my bedroom was my dad's and it's older than me. I think it's around 50 years old.
I was going to say this… but depending on how old you are the term “use” gets a little loose. It performs bodily functions.
My 1880 foursquare.
A 1797 George III Cartwheel penny, and some other old English coins. I don't use them as such, but I look at them daily. It's a great distraction from trivial issues to look at them on my desk and wonder how many people have owned them and what the owners bought with them.
My pocket mirror had a copyright date of 1914, but it's reasonable to assume it's a bit newer than that. It's probably around 100 years old.
I have a cupboard from 1789. I use it to store stuff, so yeah, I use it every day.
kitchen radio. It is one of the first portable tube radios, built 1958 or 1968 (dont remember). Internals died a few times, retro-fitted by a UKW radio receiver, then an MP3 player, now its a Raspi radio. It runs most of the time if I am at home
I have balls of yarn, knitting needles, and crochet hooks from the 60s and 70s. Also, most of my home appliances, like fridge, tv, washing machine, and microwave/oven, are about 20 years old and working perfectly.
Alarm clock I bought at the end of 2006 or early 2007. About 18 years ago
Hmm, do you literally only own things you bought new?
The question was about what I use daily.
The oldest thing I own is an end table from late 70s. Don’t use it very often though
Ah, okay. There has to be someone out there that's fully in this material century like that.
Bedside table.
Maybe 50 years old.
My wallet was a gift on my 12th birthday.
I am ollllld.
I bought recently a Psion Revo organizer and now use it to, well, organize my life
Crumpler bag, Ibanez guitar, lammy pens, and darn tough socks have all held up well
The house that I'm in was built in the 1950's. It's small but cozy!
My body. Had it all my life and I'm planning on using it until I die. Or until I can put my consciousness in a robot body if that becomes possible first.
I have a Marvin the Martian mug I got in 1995 for my 10th birthday. I don’t use it daily, but every few days for sure.
