Back when shit was made to last. I feel like anything built in the last 100 years will be long gone before the next hundred is up.

That is kinda survivour bias though. Almost all old stuff didn't last either.

Name one product made in the last 50 years that had survived longer than 100 years. I'm waiting

Sure. Not like the pyramids and the aqueducts are still standing or anything. I get what you are saying, but also, quality has dropped in so many areas in the name of cheaper and faster.
