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.

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.

An Interesting Title
I never did manage to work out what "I'm feeling lucky" meant. Nothing lucky ever happened to me when I clicked it
It sent you directly to the first result if I recall correctly. So if you were looking for something, and it was the first result and it sent you there, you were lucky by Google's standards I guess.

I remember their slogan: "Do no evil." Guess that talking point withered on the capitalism vine.
I think the "no" rubbed away after a few years because Do Evil is pretty much what they and FB stand for now.
Load More Replies...I remember when Google's unofficial motto was "Don't Be Evil".... ah, those long gone days of innocence.
Well, Google`s search page still is today cleaner than were the 1999 alternatives.
I still can't believe I turned down a job offer from Google in Feb 2000
I'd still be bummed about that 21 years later too!
Load More Replies...I love that someone got so tired of thinking of an interesting title for this entry and just said "F this, I'm just putting 'An Interesting Title'!"
I Bet He Felt Great For The First 16 Minutes
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.
Oh, The Irony!
