It’s an interesting phenomenon how people go on through life with their belongings and not notice their age.
- kleiba 2y agoMy wife certainly notices the age of some of her belongings, most notably that of her husband.
- guax 2y agoI had a few things I though "when did this got this banged up, I just got it" but it was actually almost a decade old. Usually tools or headphones, rode my QC15 for 7 years before upgrading.
- prepend 2y agoIt’s because they have the same time velocity, you don’t notice it. Like when you’re riding in a car and toss a ball up from your lap. The ball is moving at the same speed as you so you don’t even notice its speed since it travels along with you.
- tacoman 2y agoI have some Prana pants that I really like, but don't wear too often. Recently someone asked me where I got them and I said, "hmm maybe 5 years ago at MEC." A month later I came across a picture of me wearing those same pants on a fishing trip 16 years ago.
- xattt 2y agoIt doesn’t help that a lot of modern synthetic fabrics hold up really well until small wear/tear of the fabric suddenly adds up to look tattered. Also, shopping at MEC 16 years ago was a different time.
