What's the oldest thing you enjoy on a daily basis?
-
Probably this ball of water and dirt we're living on.
That big ball of nuclear fusion you can see sometimes is also pretty alright

Music, game, novel, show, what have you. What do you love that's particularly old?
Fountain pens. They don't make custom alloys of gold specifically for their nibs any more because they're not ubiquitous. An old "wet noodle" italic Parker or Waterman is a writing experience to behold.

My jokes.

I still keep a few old things around but I'm not near them or using them on a daily basis.
The only exception is one necklace, which I always keep on even when showering. I started using it about a decade ago, but it belonged to my mother since her teenager years.
So yes, that's an item that's old and I enjoy on a daily basis

The Sun
(the firey ball of doom, not the garbage newspaper)

It's the game of Go. Also known as baduk, weiqi, igo. It's a board game known for being pretty old.

To put joking aside, I have been trying to make a sort of quilt pattern to add to one of my sweatshirts, but I'm not good at sewing and don't have a sewing machine. So I would probably listen to her talk about quilts and how to make the edges look good.
I would also take quilting advice from OP's mum

Hah, I posted "the sun" in a separate comment before I saw yours

Try out fudepens too. Fountain pens, but with a brush end. Sometimes they're refillable (my preference), sometimes they're not. They make them with actual bristle brush tips, but also foam tips like calligraphy markers.
I've come to really enjoy them.

Grateful for it every day

My PS2. Thanks to Homebrew and some gadgets I bought I can to play a ton of games in their original hardware and it's been awesome.
I still got my PS2 with the HDD modded to load backups. Haha.

Normally, I'd answer my husband. But today, I'll say Skyrim. I picked it up again after multiple years, and I have loved and played this game since its release in 2011.
Talk all the shit you want, this is one of my favorite nostalgic kicks.

I think 13 year olds are a bit too young to get married

I'm more fond of dip pens, they are terribly impractical but for me it's a joy.
One of my favourite nibs is the blue pumpkin.

I have many things that are very old and enjoy but I don't use them on a daily basis. Maybe my typewriter is what I use more often.

Back in 1989 I had a co-worker friend who went to Jamaica and returned with a custom coffee mug with my name on it. It wasn't a cheap printed one, the letters were formed out of clay. I don't use it every day anymore, because I'm afraid it will break, but it's in my rotation. It reminds me that some people used to care something about me, for some reason.
I care about you, stranger. I hope you're doing well.

My bifocal glasses. They were donated to me last year, and some fucking how, they're a perfect match for my prescription, and have absolutely no scratches.
They were manufactured in 1988, literally 2 years before I ever got my first pair of glasses.
I didn't exactly sign up for big ass thick bifocals, but the last prescription glasses I paid for cost me $217, are scratched to hell and back, and the frames split at the nose bridge.
They're big, they're ugly, but they just fucking work, even clearer than my most recent actual prescriptions.
You can't complain when it's free!
Retro is always in. Rock it!
