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 sometimes are. You know how the things we say can come around 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 how quotes, comments, posts, and everything you saw online some time ago did not age gracefully. In fact, some of the things look so utterly ridiculous in the current light, it may make you wonder what the heck they were thinkin’. So let’s go down this cringy memory lane, and after you’re done, be sure to check out part 1.

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.”
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.
. . . he should have 2 wishes left. Wish for it all to go back to normal ASAP then throw the lamp away.
basically the more your locked up the more we want out then if its the other way we want in and i want to stay in for now
Maybe coronavirus took this as a personal challenge. 'People keep calling me a flu, I'll give them the worst flu they've ever seen! Spanish flu, hold my beer."
Coronavirus is not the flu. They are both viruses, with similar symptoms, but different strains, different species, if you will. Saying that the coronavirus is the flu is like saying a German Shepard and a Labrador Retriever are the same thing.

LETS THINK ABOUT HIM BEING THE WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY
He tweets confidential information but the US decided to put this uncontrolable fool in the White House. Why should Twitter clean up your mess?

1,410,000 infected, 84,000 deaths in the US alone, even with shutdowwns. That's in two months. Two. Months.
We DID think about that, Donnie. We did. YOU didn't. That thing in your head is a brain. It is supposed to THINK. Try that next time before over 100k die (projected number).
He's a medical wonder. The only living organism that can poop from both ends.

Really? He looks more of a dirty orange color to me.

I've wanted to have him scrubbing bedpands for over two months now...
His ego is far too overwhelming powerful for him to accept such a fate. His time will come. Won't be long now. 🙏

The biggest difference is the mortality rate. The flu infects over 100M annually but kills on average 40,000 in America. Yet COVID has infected less than 1.5M while we are nearing 100K dead. That's the issue.
And now the orangeanus has the ‘rona in his own house. Keep those goggles on for your protection, Donny Dumbass!
I don’t think he understands that things start small and get worse, just like he did
Someone needs to explain what the word "think" actually means to this man
If he had acted FOUR DAYS faster the number of fatalities would be HALF what it is. He is responsible for 30 times the deaths that Osama bin Laden was. Can't we make him go live in a cave yet?
I see. So the plan was to do nothing until the deaths exceeded, in a couple of months, an entire year of flu deaths. Then do nothing some more. I really feel sad and fearful for the good people in the US.
those 22 people at the time, not being shown any sympathy by this rotten orange
hmm, let me think about that...I think you should be one of the 22 deaths...
How many people read this tweet (and others like it) before going on to do unsafe things, thinking the threat was not real? This man has basically killed people.
Racism, stupidity, other countries meddling in our election, huge unaccountable detrimental social medias, a lazy electorate that doesn’t get out and vote, voter suppression, voting day not being a national holiday, and the fucking electoral college! Hillary had 3 million more votes.
Load More Replies... Many people in many countries tought coronavirus was nothing to worry about when they only had a handful of cases. The problem is, Trump and his lookalikes continued saying everything was OK when hundreds of people were dying every day. To err is human, but only idiots persist in their errors.
spanish flu claimed 500 million lives, COVID only claimed around 22 mil.
The restrictions are not just about the virus some would argue that they are about getting people used to doing as they are told whilst restricting the number of opportunities they have off-line to talk about that.
He believes that things are static. So if he believes in some conspiracy theory ....that is it...he won't even consider any alternative. So he fires people who disagree with him, and calls all others not in his cabinet, names.
He has no vision, no imagination. Guess that's why most of his business ventures failed. If it wasn't for his rich daddy, he'd be just another schmuck.
It took us decades to learn how to make most Influenza seasons a non-issue for the majority. Take away our vaccines and other precautions and the numbers would be much worse.
And stats are still actually lower than the H1N1 Flu.... your a bunch of sheep if you think the numbers aren’t fake on the news. I know too many people in health care and they are disgusted with the media and actual tracking of death by this virus. The disrespect to those that fight for there lives that don’t have the virus and being used as COVID-19 stats is disgraceful.
Common flu there is a vaccine against that's why, you moron! When there is for Corona, then it will become a background part of existence like all the other viruses.
And he still refuses to wear a mask (but everyone around him has to in order to protect him).
Donny should just try the scary experience of buddy Boris, he and his "heard immunity" ... but it seems that he has changed his point of view ... or not?
As of today's CDC stats: 147,026,768 confirmed cases, 90,002 deaths. Updated 5/15/20
And now over 1,100,000 cases and 89,000 dead.At least the flu has a vaccine
I'm not on Twitter. Someone can tell me if he slows down on messages??? Wondering...So wrong so much times I guess he is tired right now
I usually don't say this, but you are an idiot. Aggressive contact tracing, massive testing, and production of supplies (PPEs, ventilators etc) was the right answer. South Korea did a pretty good job, and nobody is criticizing them for it.

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?!?!?
@GPorter- it's. Not. 2016.

I think he's going to win, you know. Biden is just another POS like Clinton and I don't think people would even bother to vote for him

The only really dangerous list to be on is Hillary's list. Then you might find a suicide note next to your body where you shot yourself in the back of the head or drowned yourself in your kitchen sink.
American know how to entertain the world that's true.
It's like we're toddlers that drank a glass of wine and now we are crashing around drunk.
If Trump kept his mouth shut, his ego would explode the confines of his thick cranium! Messy, but less of a job to clean up than the whole of America and the ripple-effect his stupidity has on the rest of us in the world.
If Trump kept his mouth shut he wouldn't be Trump.

That's why a lot of Europeans are hoping that Trumps gets reelected. That would be another 4 years of fun filled comedy and slapstick from Don the Con and his MAGA morons. And best of all, it's free.
No we don't. F Trump
No thanks.

God Bless Trump. When his helicopter flies away from the White House lawn in January 2025......all of you dumb BP-era can collectively exhale and start living again. LOL Until then, buckle up Cupcakes!
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.
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.
Uh... so what exactly did he say on that video?
