Or at the very least less common attachment because they grew up outside of a monoculture.

    Things aren’t built to last as long. I currently use the Calphalon cooking pots that my parents got as a wedding present in the 70s. I’m told it’s normal to replace pots and pans about every 4 years now.

    Growing up we had a large bathroom rug with an interesting pattern on it. I stared at that weird pattern while on the toilet from ages potty trained to moved away for college and returned home for holidays and summer time. I’ve got a bathroom rug that I bought five years ago and it’s starting to unravel and I’m pretty upset about this.

      I think that this is entirely dependent on the amount of money you’re willing to expend. I’m sure that you can buy things that are much better or at least as well built as their counterparts from the past.
