My 2011 MacBook Pro is on her original charger… I don’t know how you all take such poor care of your stuff.

Same. I’m still using my original lightning cable (USB-A and all) and it looks almost new other than some staining from use.

Same! I DO tape and heat-shrink the ends of my lightning cables now, though… after one of my cats decided my extra long one looked absolutely delicious.

Well, my secret is just to not have cats. Lol

It's the people who tightly wind their cords up every time they put it in the bag. I always just loosely put the charger in my bag to minimize stress on the ends of the cords.
