This is not a conversation about guns. This is a conversation about items that have withstood abuse that are near unbreakable.

Some items I have heard referenced as AK47 of:

Gerber MP600: It's a multi tool

Old Thinkpad Laptops

Mag lights

Toyota Hilux

Maybe the Nvidia GeForce 10xx cards? Super cheap compared to the 9xx cards, and still going strong!

Can confirm. I have a 1080ti and a 1070ti on my PCs. They can run just about any game comfortably at 1440p, which is my preferred resolution.

The voxelab aquila "knockoff ender 3" 3d printers.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

At this point, I'd also just say Ender 3 printers. You can get them for a hundred bucks now. They're not as fancy as the newer 3d printers with auto-leveling, remote printing, dual extruders, etc. But they get the job done just fine.

Viking Fishing Kayaks. Made in New Zealand and absolutely bulletproof.

AR-15

Also, the 1911 class of pistols. Can't go wrong with the OG Colt Government Model. As in, it can't jam, fail to feed, fail to eject, fail to chamber, fail in any way.

Honorable mention goes to Hi-Point. Ugly and heavy fucking guns, but they function flawlessly and last forever.

Fruit of the Loom men's briefs.

I buy a six-pack from Walmart every year. I don't think I've ever been so loyal to a brand.
