Your Point Being: That you don't understand that, if you make the claim that something is BIFL, that you should, at the very least, have a working example of it's longevity under your care?

Maybe the name of the sub is kind of the problem - it’s dramatic and gets attention but in the end is kind of vague and also hyperbole, which means that there are a huge range of possible interpretations about what it means. So internal fighting starts almost immediately and in the end whatever direction the sub (or movement) goes, most people will be pissed off that it’s going off the rails.

Exactly like “Abolish the police” in 2020. Wow, so dramatic! What does abolish really mean though? Queue 2+ years of infighting while every reasonable person who would have supported the movement walks away.

you're just proving my point with every reply

Nah bro. You wear your boots your way, I'll wear them mine, if you think that it being mentally unwell, you have issues.

Which might be why you also have issues with this site, I wish you well somewhere else.

>Dont buy an overpriced dyson, buy the ugly vaccum housekeeping kicks around with steel toes and uses to clean 30 rooms each day.

I just got a small shop vac for my home vacuum. Sucks up anything, cleaning is easy, doesn't break, no fancy parts.

Sure it's loud but if noise levels are a concern when vacuum shopping you have too much money to be on this sub.

I mean, any quality counts if you don't plan on living very long too...

They most certainly do. Either number 4 or number 2.

>MOST of them haven't been produced long enough for people to truly KNOW whether or not they're BIFL

This is often repeated here, but it's actually nonsense that flatly contradicts the sub's obsession with "planned obsolescence." The very concept of planned obsolescence implies that it's possible to know how long an object will last on average given the choice of certain materials and construction techniques.

So which is it? Either we can have reasonable knowledge of how long objects will last without waiting around and watching how long it takes them to fail, or else the whole idea that products are designed to fail, like folks on this sub so often charge, is a spurious complaint.

There are more Nordstrom racks then actual nordstroms. Everything at the rack is not actually stuff for Nordstroms just whatever there selling this week.

I wish I had been around to know more about Digg. I was in highschool when everything crashed and thought reddit was just another 4chan type thing that all the weird kids used. Didn't help having the basement dwellers ask if you liked mudkips or knew when the narwhal baconed.

Me, being the weirder/drug kid, used Galaxy Social Network on TOR lmao, and only started using reddit around 2015-2018, when some dudes I did videos with got to the front page a few times.

What was Digg actually like? Did I really miss anything?

This is what happened to Digg right as Reddit came in and swooped up the usership.

I lost faith in the mods on this sub when they refused to stop the vintage bullshit.

I’ve posted things that I’ve had for a while but which are relatively new and told that they don’t fit.

I guess this is secretly r/vintage just wearing a mask

For sure. If ain't broke don't replace it, but when/if I do I'll probably go for LC.. My gf makes some amazing soups in ours and it's a key piece of cookware for sure!

1. This isn't gatekeeping.

2. Cause you're upsetti spaghetti.

I have to say that has got to be one excitable man. My first thought was the thuma too since I’ve been seeing so many ads about it. Let us know how it’s coming along in the next 10 years or so haha

r/antiwork is for burned out people. r/workreform is for people still in the fight.

“The beauty of this here do-hickey, is that it only has one moving part”

And you’re gatekeeping.

How about ignoring the stuff you don’t like? There is still meaningful content here.

Because that whole sub would either be mass produced items that most people already own (like the Martha Stewart pan).

The reason I bought my Lodge pan is because I appreciate the hard working Americans that put their time and effort to develop a good product.

I don't want to send my money to the CCP

Depends who made the pan, a rare Lodge is definately worth posting.

Electric mixers from the 50s covered in plastic is a piece of garbage though, don't care if it's the original robot coup.
