I tend to leave my computer on longer than it really should be. If you're running Windows, go to Task Manager, Performance, and look for where it says "Up Time;" if you're on a Mac, open a command terminal window and enter the command "uptime."
7 days, 20 hours, 22 minutes. Should probably think about turning it off and letting it cool down some time soon, but whatever.
My laptop says 10 days, 18 hours, but I tend to put it into sleep rather than shut it down, and Windows counts sleep as the computer being on. My desktop is shut down right now. The only times I leave a computer on overnight are when I'm encoding a long video or downloading a large file.
My dad tends to leave his computers on overnight for several days, usually until he watches a movie in the same room and finds the noise distracting.
Right now on my desktop I'm at 8 hours 8 minutes. I do this weird thing and shut it off every night before going to bed since I'm obviously not awake to use it and it would just waste electricity.

I normally just turn mine off when I'm done using it for the day or I'm going to be away for extended periods of time.

I have everyone so far beat. This is from the old server before a reboot. Look in the upper-right corner.

Not counting that server [since servers are meant to be running 24/7/365] I think I have everyone beat.

Trying to one-up me now, are you O_?
I'm going to try to remember to turn my computer off at least once a month from now on, because I don't think laptops are especially designed to be running indefinitely, but I'll update this post some time if I forget and beat Bidoof's high score.
I think I accidentally reclaimed the non-Cat record.
Edit, for some reason computer wasn't actually shutting off when I shut it off and I want to say the clock made it to 61 or 62 days before I was able to fix it. Didn't think to get a screenshot of it, though it wouldn't really have counted anyway . . .
Full-screen screenshot because I was too lazy to crop just the window. XD
