but are now mass produced on assembly lines and are junk?

Top of my list is appliances. Seems like all appliances tear up so easy now.

Toys

Portable tv's for cars

Wooden cabinets

You'd be lucky to buy a can opener that lasts more than two uses these days.

Houses. Every new, "cookie cutter" house built in big cities now a days is straight shite.

Cheaply built, thin walls and siding, cheap appliances.

appliances would top my list. I remember having the same damn refrigerator my entire childhood. Thing was still working fine when my parents finally got rid of it because it was baby shite yellow. It's probably in somebody work shop somewhere full of cold beer right now.

Toys, I remember growing up most of mine seemed indestructible and now my son drops his and it seems that shite shatters into a million pieces.

Tools like hammers and screw drivers and pliers. They are almost all total shite now.

Cast iron pots definitely aren't made like they used to be.

Yeah, the older homes last over 100 years. These new ones look rough after 10 years. No insulation either

Some are so simple and yet they still manufacture them like crap these days. Like kitchen matches for instance.
