Can you think of something that you own that - is not furniture, white goods or other items that you'd consider part of your home; and- that you're reasonably sure you've used more than 5000 times?That's equivalent to using it every day for almost 14 years, by the way.

@reinderdijkhuis@mastodon.art I have a computer monitor that I bought new in 2007 that I still use as a secondary monitor today. I use my computer almost every day so it has been turned on well over 5000 times.

I can think of one thing: this plain green lunchbox my parents got me in 1983. I still use it when I go to the office.

It's about the most mundane object you can image. It's not beautiful though its current weathered state has a certain appeal. It's certainly not going to stand out as my favorite possession or something I even think about much, but here it is, doing its job for almost 40 years.

Candidate number 2 is a pair of speakers I've had for almost 30 years and used intensively for the first 15 years of those. They are not great speakers but they've survived some rough treatment including use as a makeshift PA system for small live performances. After 2010, I've not used them so much. But those are a story for a different thread.Robustness is not a trait that audio lovers talk about much, but these otherwise mediocre things have it.
