Hi !minimalism@lemmy.world

Let’s bring back the posting and get more activity in the community.


My question: What is your most prized possession?

I’ll start with mine. It’s a watch. More specifically it’s the Casio AE1500WH-1AV digital watch.

Why you ask? It simply limits my phone-use and allows me to be present. I can check the clock and date (full auto-calendar till 2099), no phone needed. I can start a timer, no phone needed. Has orange backlight on a button, without always on light, which allows me to see the clock in the middle of the night without ruining my sleep.

These are the features I use the most, however it has other useful functions a freaking 10 year battery (which is neat when you hate charging), 100m water resistance, 5 alarms, split times,

Also the price is 30$, which means it doesn’t matter if it gets destroyed, lost or otherwise, it’s pretty cheap to get a new one. However it hasnt happened yet, even though I’m pretty careless with it.


I’ve shown you mine, now show and tell us about yours.

    Lools very nice!

    Are you still a boyscout leader? And do you use the knife for whittling or just the regular ropecutting?

      When the Mormon church moved away from BSA our Troop collapsed and never restarted after COVID. So no more scouts for me. I am still active with Girl Scouts (my daughter is a camp counselor).

      I use the knife for anything that needs cutting. I do not whittle.

        Oh I see. But glad it it’s still going strong! And that you’re engaged in it still, even though it’s just girl scouts. :)

            Just girl scouts, meant as in it’s not both but only one of them now. Not meant in any demeaning way.

            Sorry, English is not my first language.
