Can You Believe These Old Things Still Work?

- Just because something is very old doesn’t mean it can’t still work. For instance, take the light bulb burning in a California fire station. Installed at the beginning of the 20th century, it was shining brightly well into 2017. And a family on Long Island uses an early electric stove that was built 100 years ago. But the prize for oldest useful thing may be yeast extracted from Egyptian urns. The yeast is 4,500 years old, and one man made bread with it. #InsideEdition
Everything made in the 1900s were made to last because it was quality and wasn’t cheap material compared to today
That’s true when I was growing up I slept in a bet frame owned buy my great great grwt grandparents made in the 1850s

I love the difference in durability between old books. You have to be super careful with 20th century books, moderately careful with 19th c ones, but you could probably throw a 16th c book at a wall and the wall would lose

That wedding dress is so cool. Just absolutely amazing how many generations its been passed and it’s still not only In pristine condition but the story behind it is just fascinating

@@crazieboyiii3927 yeah my mom does that to my dress too cus sometimes my mom rents a dress for me cus we cant find a good dress especially if the activity or occasion is last minute
Facts, don’t quote me on this but I heard that every new generation has a slightly bigger rib cage, which is why dresses and lots of other clothing doesn’t fit when it’s passed down
The dress use to be white

Had a light bulb by my front door that lasted 23 years for me, it came with the house so have no idea how old it really was.
My elderly neighbor lived alone, no TV,phone, hydro or gas, heated his house with a wood stove since the 1950's.
He liked his privacy but left his bathroom light on so I knew he was alive. One night his light never came on, did a welfare check and he was gone.
The night after he passed I turned my light on to go to his favorite place, Safeway 😂 and it blew in a huge double flash. I guess it was his way of saying thanks for the 23 year friendship, and he made his final destination.
damn thats interesting
So sweet 😢

Old things simply last longer than they do now. My boyfriends parents air conditioning unit which was installed in the late 70’s just broke for the first time 2-3 years go. Meanwhile my parents air conditioning unit in their last house which was built in 2005 broke every single summer... once their air conditioning broke twice in 1 year and broke 2 weeks before they moved out of their house. SMH.
The same applies to cars, silverware/fine china, clocks and clothes.
Old things simply last longer than they do now? That’s completely false. It’s just survivorship bias.
@@troyt6532 nah man. Hes telling the truth.
@@dewaldsteyn1306 you only see high quality old things because the low quality old things broke or were worn out and got thrown away long ago.
This applies to cars, silverware/fine China, clocks, and cloths.
Exactly bro. Thats what were talking about.
It's because the corporations who design them make it that way so you can spend more money. They don't want any of us to be happy.
Many years ago: we build it strong and long lasting, so that you respect our company craftsmanship.
now: we build it weak, so that you can keep coming back and keep paying us.
Building a thing too good can be a problem for the business! The Royal Typewriter Company went out of business because no one would buy their new typewriters because the old ones just kept working!
If something breaks too fastI'm pretty sure that person wouldn't keep it although if they give it a life of two to three years then I'm pretty sure they would
What do you do with your five year old jeans? You throw them away. It wouldn't make sense to build things that last forever people would either throw them away anyways or just don't buy from you anymore.

It’s called planned obsolescence, they purposely make things made to break fast because it’s not profitable if people never rebuy a product after only buying it once
For those wondering about the century bulb, light bulbs very rarely blow out while they're on. They almost always go out when turned on or off so as long as it stays on it'll be safe till it cracks
The women in my family have been passing down an Ivy plant since the 1940's. Every time a female passes away, a piece of the plant is given to one of the a younger female family members.
That's quite an interesting heirloom
Cool
I wish when I grow up and have a family we can make an heirloom that would be so cool.
Hopefully you guys keep your green thumb, lol, I’d probably kill it in a week.
Wow!
the elderly couple with the alarm seem so fun to hangout with, like the fun grandparents people have

Apparently the bulb companies used to make the lightbulbs so good that they would stay on for a long time but because of this fact that means people had no need to buy a new one so the bulb companies got together and agreed to make them not last as long on purpose
That stove is one of the coolest stove that i had ever see, they're lucky to be able to preserve it

The lightbulb in the firehouse has its own website. As far as continually, that's not entirely accurate. It's actually been shut off, but only a few times when it was new. Regardless, it's still a ridiculously long time to keep going. What a coincidence of sorts that I literally JUST read something about all of these things in an article on how things from the past where made to last!

All these old items looked amazing! The wedding dress especially had me in awe! Especially with how many years it’s lasted in this one family! The bread too was also shocking and it even still tasted good even after how long it was in those pots for! Gotta love the old days!
This is why i love vintage! The stories behind, the workmanship, the designs. Beautiful .

Yeah, old stuff is so much higher quality it’s crazy. I was very fortunate and inherited my great grandparents furniture, some of it.
I have a tea set that’s from Japan which my great grandfather got when he took a trip there. My great grandfather was a pretty interesting person, he loved to travel and was a doctor.
I love traveling too and find Japanese culture interesting. My parents knew I loved the tea set and when I moved out last year (yes, during the pandemic-bought my first house, which was an adventure) they gave me the tea set.
I love it. It’s also decorated in silver which I prefer over gold. With scenery of mountains. I display it proudly in my dining cabinet.
My house is a 1950s one and still has original tile in the bathroom and in the kitchen.
It’s funny because some people love it and others suggest updating. I’m going to keep it. I like the classic feel. The 1950s had a nice style. Solid wood and tile with color. My old furniture fits that style too.
I think it’s growing on my family because they always say my house looks great.
The materials last forever so why change.

I just remembered a story. The family would also hear an alarm in a certain time they called a show to break the wall to find a body wearing the watch, the same alarm they could hear at a certain time.
I have a fridge that's like 16 years old and it works FLAWLESSLY. Honestly old stuff was built to last.
The things before were made to last, they were pure quality.
Yes, that also is because they were very over-engineered compare to todays standards and expensive that only rich people could afford back then unlike today when everything is manufactured with quantity rather than quality cheaply to keep consumers buying new things more often to make companies going strong and customers happier for not spending that much.
@Joseph Arden To me yes, without a second thought if comparing with the old standards.

My parents have a light bulb going since 1985. They even have the exact date, since they had a huge fight.

When she said they took that dress to a designer, my heart jumped into my throat because I thought they were going to take it apart and make it into something "new", aka DESTROYING A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF HISTORY!! Thank gosh they didn't!
They HAD to take it apart. Definitely every seam of it. Then CAREFULLY clean the silken pattern pieces, the lace and take out all old inlets like linings, tulle, cotton or wool linings.
Then one can begin to restore the broken parts of the silk and lace, put in new stiffening lining if required, sew the pieces CAREFULLY together again and then tell the bride:
