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.

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.”

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

Trump couldn't bear that Obama was better than him at anything, so rose to the occasion and proved himself wrong.

It has been 19 years, and my heart still aches every time I see the NYC skyline. For me it has been gone longer than it existed (I was born in the 80s), but the Twin Towers will always be iconic, quintessentially New York.

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

Assume, but verify. When a woman does lie it undermines the #MeToo movement. We are looking for equality, not for deification.

All women (and persons of other genders) should be take seriously, they shouldn't all be automatically believed, because before their gender they are human, and all humans sometimes lie.

And THEN investigate to see if they ARE telling the truth. Tara's story went from "he touched my shoulder and neck and it made me uncomfortable but there was no "let's get a room vibe"" to "He digitally penetrated me in a public hallway." Also, ask any woman who was an adult 29 years ago -- we ALL WORE PANTYHOSE. It was mandatory. It was dress code. And you cannot "digitally penetrate" someone wearing pantyhose without force and violence -- and ripped pantyhose that would be clear evidence. The story is thinner than tissue paper and has holes you could drive a tractor trailer through. NOTE for non-English speakers "digitally penetrated" means using a finger to, er, act like a penis during sex.

I don't think that pantyhose as an impenetrable fortress/chastity belt is your best argument against the veracity of the claim.

Way too many photos of him clutching at little girls though. Standing behind them with a hand, not placed on a shoulder, but round the side and onto the chest. That man really does need to check himself. So sad, in such a huge country, the democrats can't find someone, just one person, better to put up against someone so awful.

Isn't this the whole problem? If "our guy" is accused, we tend to believe it never happened. If it's somebody from the other team who is accused, then it's certainly true. It's played out over and over, and the hypocrisy involved on both sides is staggering.

Yeah, until it's proven she lied and made the whole thing up. At which point her "assaulter" has probably lost his wife & kids, the respect of his friends, family & community, been fired from his job and basically ostracized - BEFORE any actual charges or proof have been obtained. I am all for not victim shaming, but there are women out there who will make this s**t up for a payday or revenge - I know we had a friend go through it. He was bankrupt by the time he could prove (ABSOLUTELY) he had nothing to do with her. She was mentally ill and had some fantasy that they were in a relationship. F*****g ruined his life.

I don't know if he is guilty of harassment with this woman, it's a single accusation and nothing is likely to come of it, but the videos of him smelling women young girls and playing with their hair are incredibly uncomfortable and unnerving to watch.

No. If a person alleges sexual assault give them the benefit of the doubt and VERIFY the allegation. Too many people get screwed over by false accusations.

Elfin is correct, the presumption a woman is truthful can be rebutted, but the rebuttal should be more than the "she's not my type" that trump uses.

Believe All Women! Believe All Women! Even in the Duke Lacrosse case or Tawana Brawley, send innocent ment to prison for decades b/c you ALWAYS should automatically believe all women!!! Also, though, don't believe this woman who accused Biden, b/c, well, you know, c'mon. You don't just, like, automatically believe the accusations of the woman every time.

*true story A senior was asking a girl a question(no harassment or anything) and she cried for help, accusing him for rape. He was beaten to death on the spot. The police checked the CCTV cameras and the girl was lying, an innocent man was killed......

What I don't understand is how he could have been Vice President with these allegations. Isn't the vetting process for VP pretty stringent? Has anyone from the Obama campaign talked about how Biden was vetted?

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.
