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.

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
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
Disposable bags today are far thinner than what he came up with, and uses a tiny fraction of the resources to produce. And they aren't all used once and thrown away; lots of people keep plastic grocery bags and reuse them to pick up dog poop, line trash cans, etc. In fact, if I used a reusable bag for grocery shopping, then bought a box of plastic bags for dog poop, I'd end up using more plastic.

Plastic takes a lot of energy and resources to produce. It can't be reused forever. Many plastic items are used once, such as laundry detergent bottles as just one of a multitude of examples. Get your head out of the sand.

The lie that recycling will solve everything has been a successful hoax
But recycling is good, if done consistently and properly

Plastic actually did have huge environmental advantages; substances it replaced when it was first introduced include ivory and shellac. Even now sturdy plastic that can last for decades, and then be recycled, can be a more environmentally friendly option than felling trees (lumber plantations are not good for the environment) or mining metal. The big problem is single use plastic that cannot be recycled, and for that industry is culpable and should be resolving.
The problem with plastic grocery bags isn't that they are thrown away. The problem is when people just chuck them out into the environment instead of throwing them away properly so they go to the landfill. They take up almost no space because they are so thin. When they are blowing around the city, they get stuck in trees. In coastal areas they blow into the ocean. (But the majority of plastic garbage in the ocean is fishing nets.)
the inventor of the plastic bag meant for it to be environmental friendly, since people would be using it over and over
True in some cases. Disposable plastic grocery bags have less environmental impact than paper bags.
That surprises me. Which resources do paper bags waste?

OK see that shit? That's what they told Boomers and they believed it. They thought they were doing you good, young'ns!
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?
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!
Oh, so this was just a "Let's slam Trump and make the liberals feel better about themselves" post. Wish they had said that in the title...
You fucking idiot. Most of this is Trump just displaying his extreme stupidity. Can you not admit that this slimebag, orange, incompetent, racist, cunt grifter is handling the pandemic response very poorly? What world are you living in?

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!

Can we stop with the politics? Seriously, like every second post was political. (And it all leaned one way). I'm trying to be more positive, so can we just stop spamming politics?
If you dont care for politic, politic will care for you.
Poor little goose woman is sick of politics. You know what I'm sick of? People dying from government leaders not listening to scientists. From government leaders making awful decisions. From government leaders embracing and spreading conspiracy theories. From government leaders saying that this virus is going to magically disappear in April. From government leaders saying to put disinfectants and UV rays in our bodies. I care about our human brothers and sisters that are suffering and dying. You trying to ignore them isn't positive. People ignoring science is the problem. You and everyone who voted for Trump are the problem.
Is Trump ever positive? He deserves to be humiliated. You deserve to be humiliated. He's always wrong. And your dumb ass believes his every lie and utterly stupid utterance. The corona virus is a real threat. It has been since the beginning. What did Trump do? Say it was hoax. De-fund the CDC, etc. He's not a leader, he's an asshole. And the only people that follow assholes are pieces of shit like yourself.
Woah man, that escalated quickly. I don't even like Trump that much. I'm Libertarian. I believe Covid-19 is a threat, and I am isolating, not protesting. I believe that politics have a place, just not on a post about old Twitter posts. So please, keep the personal attacks down. Who downvotes this, and not Terd? I'm done with this site
Y'know what? Prove that. Prove even one claim you're making here, Turd. No one believed that the corona would be that big of a deal. We don't isolate over flu! No one though it was a big deal, and Trump is no different.
Same here and it's getting old lol

Posts like this are why Democrats will lose. People, like myself, who aren't Republican or Democrat are so sick of seeing the American-bashing and liberal hatefulness that Trump will be voted in again just to spite the Democrats and their ridiculous behavior as of late.
*eyeroll* spite voting is absolutely how we best utilize our voting rights, sure. by all means, don't vote out the incompetent criminal who is putting all of our lives in danger, all because Democrats are annoying you. sure.

I actually agree, Trump so far has been fairly balanced bordering better than the past few presidents. America isn't in a war, economy is better, country has less illigal immigration, put north Korea in heal, Sanctions on China, helping UK with trade talks, and more. Few fuck ups sure, but America would be in a hell of a worse state of Hilary won... An actual criminal. Probably in a pointless war was Russia or north Korea by now to quell her warmongering.
If Trump loses b/c of Bored Panda, then God Bless the Panda, say I... and I am a conservative who is not registered (R) or (D). Cheers, bot-brain!

Oh my, this is just a bunch of political bs... A few here and there are actual didnt-age-well-memes, but most are just opinions. Weak.
Tor, you're weak. You're so weak. You're just trump's little ignorant bitch. Snuggle up under orange daddy's big fat belly. Nobody cares about your opinion. Trump's wrong. Johnson is wrong. You're all deeply, deeply stupid.
Tor is MAGAt to the core. Pretty much a bore.
Or terrible insults it seems. Why you lot lost, all negative fellings, opinions, tacgical jabs, manipulation and insults. Democrats and UK labour are fucked for the foreseeable future because that is all they have. People want to feel good living in their country, optimism and an actual human at the helm, not a NPC. Be greatful that a lot of peopl either do their homework on how the world actually works or go for someone who actually has optimism and will for a better country.
I'm not even american, I dont care about Trump. But look at you.. flinging insults immediately, like a monkey flinging turds. Seems like you do care about my opinion, since you spew all this bile and get all riled up. Poor thing.
If Trump kept his mouth shut, this list would be much shorter, and less entertaining.
