Some things in this world need time to mature. Cheese and wine, relationships, our self-esteem… But they are not what this post is about. Quite on the contrary—we will be looking at things that miserably failed the test of time and made it into full walk of shame mode.
Thanks to the subreddit “Aged Like Milk” and its 713k devoted members, we have this precious collection of some pretty things, said or done, making a solid U-turn. “A subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all,” states the community’s description and here you go, my attention is yours.
Let's scroll through some of the sourest cases below that will remind us all to think twice before letting something out into this world.

OP-ED is stupid. Even today they publish op-ed pieces written by people totally unqualified to have an opinion on any topic.

Anyone else thinking this doesn’t look like a genuine headline from 1903? Fonts etc.
Not to start an argument but I've heard that Brazil's Alberto Santos-Dumont was the first to fly successfully. Flying without any slingshot-like devices.
I don't like semantic arguments on who was first, when the "firsts" were so indecisive. It's arguing whether something counted or not. A less-disputable fact is who made the first powered flight of all time, which was Henri Giffard who piloted a steam-engine powered airship 17 miles in 1852. That's a much more decisive 'first'.

i like his optimism though about man still being around a million years after
That time line is especially bizarre when you find out Orville Wright was alive when the bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Bold of them to think that we will still be here in that amount of time.
That's not true, about the New York Times. They published their prediction in october, not december, so a good two months before the Wright brothers took off ;)
They seriously ran this headline eight months after Richard Pearse kinda flew?
9 days later?! The first successful by human controlled flight by a combustion engine powered plane happened literally several months earlier. Brother Wrights weren't the first who did it
Heh Heh Heh
In order to not regret things you said or did and make them stand the test of time, you gotta be really good at decision making and being aware of what the future holds. But even then, it’s just a very human thing to do.
Unless you’re a superforecaster. It’s the practice of prediction that covers everything from whether a currency will become stronger, one country will invade another, or there will be civil unrest in a city. Superforecasters calculate the probability of something happening and then adjust that as circumstances change. In this way, they’re able to come up with consistent predictions.

yep. Guarantee race and political leanings were involved in his hypocrisy too
But it’s much more complex than that. According to Bloomberg, superforecasters did not accurately predict Brexit, putting the chances of a Leave vote at 23% in June 2016—the month of the referendum. Their predicted figure had been higher a few months previously, but they had adjusted the likelihood downwards, reports the BBC.
