That old Nokia 3310 I found in my parents' attic still holds a charge after 15 years

Honestly, I was cleaning out my mom's garage last Sunday and stumbled on my old 3310 from 2008. I plugged it in for a laugh and the battery indicator popped up after 10 minutes. I even sent a text with the old T9 predictive typing and it worked like nothing changed. Anyone else digging up old bricks that just refuse to die?

Yeah I read they last forever in the cold war bunkers or something... wild.

Holy crap, they threw the whole pallet in the dumpster?? That's wild. I guess some stuff really does go bad no matter how much they say it lasts forever. I bet the meat must have been seriously nasty if they didn't even want to deal with it. Makes you wonder what's really in those old rations they find in bunkers. I know they say they're safe but stories like that make me think twice.

Yeah the "lasts forever" thing tracks. A buddy of mine worked at a surplus place that got a pallet of C rations from the 60s. Said the crackers were like cardboard but the peanut butter was still good somehow. They had these little dessert cakes that looked totally fine but tasted like dusty sugar. He said they only opened one can of meat and it smelled so bad they just threw the whole pallet in the dumpster after that.
