We can’t predict the future. If we could, most of us would be spending our days picking lottery numbers instead of stressing over anything else. But even without a crystal ball, people can still make educated—or at the very least, lucky—guesses.

And the subreddit Aged Like Wine does its best to dig up the ones that truly stood the test of time. From random posts to famous quotes, here are some that aged especially well.

Mad magazine was always socially aware. Their was a fair amount of social and political satire. Made many kids like myself question what the hell were the adults in charge doing and why it was so it was so worthy of parody.

    One annoying thing about BP is it's so far left as to forget all of history and knowledge. You really have to ignore Sweden to believe that you should believe annointed "experts" without questioning. Until 200 years ago, the EXPERTS believed in bloodletting... which sped up the demise of George Washington. 150 years ago the EXPERTS believed in mercury compounds to cure syphillis, bowels, etc., but of course it causes Mad Hatters neurological diseases. 70-90 years ago, they prescribed lobotomies. 50 years ago, Thalidomide for morning sickness, which caused missing and deformed limbs. And yet the vibe here will be, gosh, people refused to isolate and destroy when the experts were clearly right. Except Sweden did none of that and did better, with less harm, than the U.S. The newspaper suggestions would cost your kid limbs, destroy your nervous system and cost you blood, but you do you.

    This is what the few conservatives that come to this site refuse to acknowledge.

    The only current mRNA vaccine available to the general public (COVID) does not prevent getting COVID or transmitting COVID. No mRNA vaccines have been approved by the fda since the approval of the COVID one and they have been in review since before they made the Covid ones. The idea that a cancer curing mRNA vaccine is something that is coming to us soon is pure science fiction.

    Multa Nocte: you have a point. But so does Mike Tyson. I used to play rough sport. Parts of ears getting bitten off were not unheard of - it's what happens occasionally when you put aggressive young men in aggressive confrontation with each other. We grow up, get middle aged, and we change. A middle aged man who did rough sport when young tends to be calm and unflappable - and the rougher the sport, the more unflappable on average. Ex boxers and other former "hard" martial artists are mostly incredibly chill with a good sense of perspective on many face to face real life issues that wind up the rest of us.

The boss(s) will send out a mass text to find out who wants to...whatever. EVERYONE ,save a couple, just piggybacks on the initial text, meaning my phone blows up from 20 people responding. Grrrrrrr

    Ever since I worked in jobs where I had to answer a phone I have HATED them. Yes, I have a cellphone, but I am not glued to it. It lives in my purse or pocket and is only for emergencies or the b******t a lot of places are pulling these days, like where a menu is only online. Otherwise, I ignore it. I LIKE being unreachable when I don’t want to talk to anyone or deal with their b******t. I never logged my number with any company I worked for, and never accepted a company phone either, because I did my work at work, and wanted to keep my work life and personal life SEPARATE. I’m 65 now, so you know that did not go down well with employers back in the day, and I know it kept me from getting promoted more than once. Don’t care. I didn’t burn out. I didn’t sacrifice my personal life for a company that didn’t give a fat rat’s a*s about me. I retired and had a whole life and family already in place to spend time with. I may not have profited from it promotion and money-wise, but I sure DID profit greatly from it in ways that are priceless.

    I'm old enough to remember when mobile phones were still just an idea. But their advent was no accidental discovery - research into all the required tech had been ongoing for decades in order to make it happen. The idea happened not long after WW2 and they became available to the public within 40 years..

    globally yes, however in the US 2/3 of the 1% are first generation in the 1% for example. Most countries it is 80-90% static, US and a few other countries it fluctuates a lot. 20% of the bottom 20% will move up within their life, and 20% of the top 10% will move down. Ironically the higher income taxes a society has, the more static wealth becomes, the lower income taxes, the more fluctions there are and the more mobility. It does explain why so many children of the top 1/10th of the 1% are pro-Higher taxes (like Mamdani and most of his rich kid inner circle in NYC for example). Because its about keeping the rich class static and keeping people from moving into it

    Tabitha

    3 days ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Yes, but a good percentage of that 2/3 probably had parents who weren’t quite in the top 1%, but were probably at least in the top 5% to 10%, so had enough disposable income to help fund their children’s business ventures in the first place. You might have the million dollar idea, but you won’t see a dime if you can’t raise the cash to get the d****d thing up and running in the first place. I sincerely doubt many of them came from families on the poverty line, so having parents who may not be wealthy but are certainly comfortable is simply a variation of being born into vast wealth. It’s always easier to hit a home run if you get to start on third base—-or even halfway between second and third.

Just you wait - it'll most likely work out more or less okay, in the long run, after an awful lot of unnecessary suffering much of which is happening right now (Gaza, Ukraine, Myanmar, awful things in so many parts of Africa and I don't know where else and that's before I get on to what Modi is having done to Muslims and, and... 😢)

    Even allow for inflation, that $19.00 in 1990 is $47.12 now, and Kevin would have to have bought the cheapest generic brands to only spend that much for two bags of groceries. I say that as a 65 year old who used to fill my gas tank for between $5 and $10, and feed myself and a pet cat for a week for less than $20—and I was not eating ramen noodles every day, I was eating meat and vegetables. Chicken and hamburger were cheap. That was back when I was 20-ish. Yeah, when Reagan was elected and the world started to go to hell in a hand basket—-for my entire young adult life, the years when I was supposed to be the most productive and see the most gain before retiring. That didn’t f*****g happen. My retirement is a fraction of what I thought it would be. I’m not starving, but I still have to stick to a tight budget.

I read that the Tr*mp family is making big bucks these days. You think he cares about normal folks? It's like with Putin: those who have gone along with Putin, supporting the Ukraine invasion - well, they have got a lot richer. It's why Putin is still in power - if you side with him, you gain.

    Thing is, Security Fund should be sacrosanct. It should never be used for anything but retirement. No borrowing from it to pay back a fund for a stupid vanity project that lost money hand over fist. NO. But, they opened it up for that years ago when it was extremely healthy, and now they’ve depleted it, the present administration has looted it just because they don’t like the idea of “the poors” having anything in their old age except early death, and it’s in danger of being run out of existence—-even though it’s OUR money that we have all paid into it our entire working lives, and therefore deserve to have available to us when we’re too old to go out and earn it all over again.

We're living too dang long. The Boomer generation was huge and easily supported their parents and grandparents with their payments. Gen X is much smaller than the Boomer Generation and there aren't enough of us to keep up the payments. Millennials are a big generation and will mostly support the remaining Boomers and Gen X through retirement (thank you very much). Gen Z and Alpha are much smaller generations and will not be able keep up with the Millennials. They couldn't afford to have kids and the kids they never had won't exist to support them in retirement. Start putting whatever you can afford into a 401K.

    Rubio was correct, but he turned around and started licking someone's orange hindquarters to try to move up in the world, and you can see it every time in his face when the news cameras pan to him that he knows that everyone is laughing at him - especially Drumpf.

    Amazing how many people spoke out about Trump driving the US to ruin and are now willing passengers on his short bus.

    D**n it, most of us are trying hard to get the whole bunch of crooks TF OUT. Problem is our representatives who are either hamstrung by being in the minority, or are in the majority but lack the cojones to stand up and do the d****d jobs WE hired them for. WE the PEOPLE, not Fat Donald, are the ones who hired them, and we can fire them too. Dump the fatalistic attitude, people, and get your asses out to vote. Do not accept someone trying to block or intimidate you from voting. If you are a citizen and of age, you are legally allowed to cast your vote. Do not let any f*****t try to bully you to stop you, because your vote can put them away for a long time. They know it, and they’re lashing out because they’re f*****g terrified of losing and finally laying their well-deserved consequences. Make. Them. PAY. By. Voting.

    There was me thinking they'd rebranded it "consequence culture" to justify coming down hard on anyone who wasn't properly worshipful towards the late hate-monger Charlie Kirk - unlamented by all decent people. Maybe someone noticed that "consequence culture" also explained how come Kirk got himself shot... 😁 (don't do múrder, it's wrong. I'll not weep over the death of a wicked person like Kirk despite my sadness that yes, with the death of Kirk another human being was múrdered. That's always a cause for sadness even when the victim is wicked)

    Free speech only exists in the US for those who agree with the Toddler-in-Chief. If they cared about BP comments, a lot of us would be in trouble.

    Give it time. When we're in the re-education camps, let's shout "Bored Panda!" at random times. Maybe some of us will be able to find each other.

    to be fair, Kimmel's show has been losing money 5 years in a row (lost 8 million last year, not as bad as Colberts 50 million loss), and 20% of ABC affiliates dropped the show for higher rating 20 year old TV show reruns. He did have a 1 week boost when he was brought back, but his ratings are down. Its why in many major markets like DC, the affiliates pulled him. ABC has been talking about cancelling him for a few years already, the timing just was bad, and it made it look politica. But when 20% of your affiliated, that control 30% of your viewers drop a show that loses money and makes the affiliated less money than scrubs reruns, it isnt cancel culture, its just canceling a failing show

    Bill Gates is just "regular smart", not "Einstein smart". He just paid attention to what the really clever folks doing the development work told him.

    Bill Gates also thought nobody would ever need more than 640K of RAM

    Rob Miles: I think it's more that he thought no-one using MS-DOS would ever need more than 640K RAM, that being 10 times more than the maximum memory addressable by most consumer market microprocessors of the 1970s (the original IBM PC used the 8088, which was limited to addressing RAM in 64K pages up to a total of 1MB). The bit he got wrong was how long MS-DOS would be in use, and how quickly RAM would reduce in price. The second mistake was the big one, since Moore's Law was already widely known.

    I can get a special price phone every 24 months with my contract. I've been holding off on doing so because it seems to me that phones have also reached a plateau, with impressive cameras and media capabilities and 5G+ and... well my current device, a fairly generic Xiaomi, can do all of that already. There was a time when things were developing impressively. Now it's "the same only slightly different". So it's logical that this will apply to GPT. It'll reach a point where it's good enough that changes from one to the next won't have any wow factor, it'll just be an incremental update.

    Bill Gates also recently admitted that all the fuss about global warming... wasn't necessarily true.

    TBH, we should all be Luigis, except we should just cough and sneeze all over the healthcare company executives every time we see them, especially when we’re at our most contagious. Keep those a******s perpetually sick, too sick to attend meetings to veto providing care for their customers. Let them be on their deathbeds, and let their own companies refuse them lifesaving treatment for some nonsensical reason. Give them a dose of the reality they are responsible for.

    Right wing and evolve do not seem like compatible concepts... at least among today's version of right wingers. I yearn for the days when both sides knew what the facts were, and only debated on what they meant or what to do about them. Now we can't even agree on the facts, which precludes any meaningful discussion or compromise.
