It's unfortunately a lot of survivor bias, but I like looking at photos of turn of the century items.

- zbentley 5y ago> It's unfortunately a lot of survivor bias In this case, isn't that the selection criteria rather than an interfering bias?
- Rastonbury 5y agoThat comment was hilariously oblivious
- notreallyserio 5y agoIt's both, I think. If the goal is to find high quality items survivor bias can definitely interfere with the results. The items must survive long enough to count as something you can use "for life" and it's possible, even likely, that they only survived due to low use or extraordinary care.
