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.

Was it the same press secretary? I mean ... considering how fast the people in the White house change it's like a revolving door so ...

Doesn't really matter - most people saying they won't lie are, indeed, uttering a lie.

Saying something that is false is not necessarily lying. Have you ever got a question wrong on a test? Were you lying?

@John Smith, as long as CNN is giving Dana Bash and S.E. Cupp a time slot and a paycheck, all conservative claims of left-wing bias on the part of the network will be ignored. Or laughed at.

The white house long ago burnt up all the credibility it had. It is a sad state of affairs when America's administration isn't considered any more trustworthy than China's or Russia's.

In other news most people still haven't realised that CNN isn't actually news. They have been caught in so much misleading stories that they had to settle out of court for trying to destroy a highschooler's life and not paying their employees. Ask us Veterans about how many times that CNN got their stories wrong when we were in Iraq sometime!

Her dark roots were visible below her bleached blonde hair. She was "lying" even before she opened her mouth. (btw- I have nothing against people altering their appearance. I do have a problem with blatant liars)

Nothing on you this time Marco, its just that I can’t understand what you're saying, I’m sure you’d be a wonderful person if you knew how to properly articulate your thoughts and opinions. No, I’m talking to K. Kobayshi here. If you believe a lie, that makes it more of a lie.

Lying to the public is part of that job.Do you honestly think Trump's have been the only ones to lie?

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

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.

I still have a huge (legit) DVD collection. It's one of the most infuriating things having to sit through these 'anti-pirate' adverts that can't be fast-forwarded. That didn't do their cause any good at all, just made me want to buy pirated films instead, which don't have the adverts! Grr...
