40 Times People Spotted Things That Did Not Age Well And Decided To Share Them On The Internet (New Pics)
Oh… irony, how sweet you are sometimes. You know how the things we say can come back to haunt us? The test of time is a tough nut to crack, and this time, it’s all about failing. The Facebook page Posts That Did Not Age Well is a hell on earth, showing embarrassing moments when quotes, comments, and everything else you saw online some time ago contradicts itself or completely misses the mark.
There’s aging like fine wine and then there’s aging like milk, and the posts here definitely fall into the latter. Some of these future predictions look so utterly ridiculous today, it may make you wonder what the heck they were thinkin’. From astounding Trump tweets to people who jinxed everything for the rest of us, there’s plenty here that’ll make you feel like dying inside.
So, let’s go down this memory lane together and take a look at everything that has gone wrong lately. If you don’t die from cringe in the meantime, be sure to check out part 1 after.

This is how science works, people. Preliminary findings are overruled when new, better evidence come out. This just shows scientists aren't coerced to toe the official line, as some claim.
If humans could see the future, this post would probably have not existed. Because there’s nothing quite like failing the test of time. All the things you believed and said look more or less absurd in retrospect. Unless your job is predicting the future for a living.
Mysterious as it sounds, seeing what comes next is complex, critical, and quite a different job than the myths suggest. Paul Saffo, a technology forecaster in Silicon Valley, wrote in a piece for Harvard Business Review that “prediction is concerned with future certainty.” And that alone sounds quite paradoxical.

Nothing But The Truth
Paul explains further: “forecasting looks at how hidden currents in the present signal possible changes in direction for companies, societies, or the world at large.” Thus the goal of forecasting is to “identify the full range of possibilities.”
Plus, “unlike a prediction, a forecast must have a logic to it,” says Paul. That means that the forecaster must always be able to articulate, explain, and defend this logic. “That’s what lifts forecasting out of the dark realm of superstition,” argues Paul. In the end, forecasting is “nothing more (nor less) than the systematic and disciplined application of common sense.” And that common sense is something we all have.

The Us Thought It Was #1 Again
Well- theoretically yes but what can you expect when you have buffoons in charge...
That is the truly sad part. 80,000 people didn't have to die. The US had systems in place, but since Obama set them up, they were dismantled.
Load More Replies...I'm pretty sure this was before Trump fired and dismantled the entire pandemic response team just because Obama created it.
And Israel and Germany weren't even listed. They lead in best management / lowest deathrate: 1 Israel, 2 Germany, 3 South Korea
No one could have predicted how badly the USA would handle this and that we'd completely ignore our entire pandemic response playbook and do pretty much the opposite of what we should have done.
I, for one, didn't expect Americans to rebel and refuse to follow the simplest instructions. As long as they are healthy (as far as they know), they have no remorse for exposing others.
Load More Replies...We were before trump came into office. Obama and his admin had a full pandemic plan set up. trump wiped it out and fired the people who were in charge of pandemics, and similar positions.
Hpw did Sweden get there? We had no plans, no stored medicine and supplies, horrible late advices wreaked havoc amongst the care homes...
I'm sure nobody would complain if you tried your luck in any of the other countries. Remember when the Democrats (Pelosi herself) said to go about your normal lives? Called DJT xenophobic when he banned flights from China after the outbreak? Well, of course you don't. Doesn't fit the narrative.
So it wasn't the WHO who lied, but Johns Hopkins (that prepared the GHSI)?
Turn out a virus can't be fought with shotguns and shelter are useless if you don't stay inside.
We waste hundreds of billions with our bloated, immoral military budget. How did that work out for us? Can't send warships to kill the virus.
Load More Replies...Finland is one of the best, statistically. They responded quickest.
All we are wondering, is when can we move from the 2m avoidance back to the normal 4m.
Load More Replies...I see! Yeah, you're right, it's like nature wanted to know.
Load More Replies...Australias population are 3 times larger than Sweden. Australia have had 200 (recorded) corona deaths. Sweden have had 5743. Today 1/8-20. Just saying that Australia is probably a very safe country/continent. US not so much.
Well, Australia didn't do too badly - a bit slow off the mark but managed to get it under control pretty well - though as we come out of lockdown, waiting to see if there is going to be a second wave of infections because people have got a bit too blase`.
um, cant you post this same graph signafying deaths now?
COULD have been true if we did not have a selfish idiot in charge of taking care of us.
Despite the death toll, the UK was actually very well prepared given the circumstances. Our hospitals never did get overwhelmed, in fact we didn't even need to use the various emergency hospitals which were prepared. Only 0.03% of the British population actually contracted the virus.
...until they defunded or sidelined their preparedness infrastructure....
Once upon a time the UK was brilliantly prepared for a pandemic, and then austerity happened and all that preparation was dismantled. Even as the pandemic hit its stride the government didn't put back into place what they knew they had removed.
Oh dear !! Just a shame our governments thought they know better than the scientists and medical staff !!
I just hope people realize that if the US ever has to face another crisis, it will be another complete disaster if Trump is reelected. He has proven to be completely incapable and dismissive of anyone who knows more than he does. The only thing he cares about are his "ratings."
We do not appear on this list but are one of the best in the world at dealing with it.
Would be able to pay to have the point of view of the team who did this survey
The irony is the one's on the bottom Are handling it eloquently while the top one's are banging each other heads
Clearly the global Helath Security Index had no idea what it was talking about. And not just in regards to the US.
unless you fire the pandemic team, defund the CDC, refuse to work with other countries/Who, refuse to test subjects, defund coronvirus research, or think it will just go away like magic.
I honestly believe our (US) unpreparedness was complete and utter arrogance on the part of that asshat in the White House. He actually believes he knows more than the SCIENTIFIC/MEDICAL EXPERTS trying to combat this virus. And to the "it's a democratic conspiracy theorists" do you honestly think they'd start some s**t that kills just as many of them as it does you? It that were the case - they'd make sure he got the most virulent strain FIRST.
The problem is those in charge have to actually implement the preparations, not ignore the playbook and disband the pandemic team because it came from Obama's administration.
Trump tbh is just reminding me of a lion. He won the battle and became the new leader of our country, his "pride", and he's just killing off all the good things that Obama put there before, or the "cubs" of the previous lion. This doesn't make much sense, but please don't expect too much of someone writing this at 6:30 am and hasn't slept yet.
Science had been predicting a pandemic for a long time. A pandemic requiring PPE. Hence the original stockpiles of PPE and people in charge of planning a response.

I read an interview sometime in the recent years with the son of the man who invented plastic bags. He said that, if his father knew that people use a plastic bag once and then immediately throw it away, he would have been horrified and saddened. The reason the man invented plastic bags was specifically so they could be reused over and over again

A lot of people underestimated and still underestimate the dangers of Corona and they think that the media are lying to them. ( Wonder who gave them that idea??). If history repeats itself and people behave like they behaved during the Spanish Flu, there are going to be plenty mass graves all over the world.

If Trump kept his mouth shut, this list would be much shorter, and less entertaining.
If Trump kept his mouth shut, we would have to worry about him for a second term. Oops, am I going to be on this list in a year?!?!?
Load More Replies...Several items on this list could start their own, called "Trump being a dumbass."
We supposed in the previous 10 years the world would get better by 2020. Now, we face the awful situation of coronavirus and we pay the heavy price for the political indifference of chinese regarding the bad timing of safety mesaures.
Why wasn't the prediction of the second coming of Christ in the Bible mentioned? He's 20 years late already!
It seems there's something wrong with the millennial and centennial concept of "maturing." Things do not mature, unless they're organic produce. You mature. The series "Friends" doesn't need to mature for you to enjoy it in 2020. You need to mature as a person and recognize that things, even us too, belong to specific time contexts, and must be understood within those contexts. The millennial and centennial concept of "maturing" aims to erase that, as it aims to retroactively impose on the past the values and knowledge of the present. That is utterly wrong.
I recall certain British candidate said they are prepared to host the 2020 Olympic if Tokyo can't host it. Too bad he didn't prepare for the COVID-19 as Japan does.
This sure didn't show any bias or negativity towards a political ideology at all. When you use CNN as anything as being slightly credible you have already lost. Before anyone responds with something stupid just know I was in the Army in Iraq and saw firsthand just how trustworthy that propaganda spewing rag really is. Way to go fueling the echo chambers though I'm sure it's going to do a lot of good to promote proper discourse. It's the same thing that is destroying every social media platform but go ahead I'm sure it will work for this page!
All of these Trump haters should quit their bitching and check their facts. Calling him a pu$$y-grabber is an outright lie because he never said he did that. All of you are making up lies to justify your hate and you don't even know why you hate him.
i enjoy a lot of content on this sight, but it is getting harder and harder to want to come cruise the articles with how overtly LEFT to FAR LEFT much of the content is. There is no balance. I have never seen anything pro Conservative or Pro Trump anywhere besides the comment section.... then it gets down voted into oblivion. its a shame.
It really is, but the fact that Trump was elected proves that more people support him than the people that are just whining on the internet because they're angry that he exists. They'll use anything they can fire at him, then get defensive if anyone calls them out. And ever single person that downvotes this will just prove my point even further, so downvote away!
