A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

French Press. It was my grandmother's, kept it after she died.
The brand, Melior, was bought by Bodum in 1991, and all French Press production went under the Bodum brand (the old Melior model became what is now known as the "Chambord" line), so it is at least 35 years old, possibly older.
I contacted Bodum to know if they could give me an approximate age, but they couldn't (or didn't want to bother searching). All I know it is a version with Pyrex glass, which may help a knowledgeable person to more precisely date it, but I kinda put my curiosity on pause for the time being.
Other than that, some of my grandfather's vinyls are quite old too (at least one of them is from the 80's), and I got some 20+ yo cassettes, some old mixtapes (back when mixtapes where actual tapes ๐).
I have an old Caban which is probably at least 40 years old (was my grandfather's, once again).
Oh, and some kitchen tools made in West Germany ๐.
