It’s impossible to predict the future. But we do know that history repeats itself, so we can still make educated guesses. And over time, we sometimes find out that those projections proved to be 100% true.

We took a trip to the Aged Like Wine subreddit, which features posts and statements that have only become more and more accurate as time has passed. Below, you'll find some of the community's best posts, so enjoy scrolling through these statements that turned out to be unsettlingly spot on. Keep reading to also find a conversation with the community's founder, and be sure to upvote the posts that you believe aged like fine wine!

Eisenhower Predicted The Future

In other words; he knew people down the road would cry, “Fake news!” when they were held accountable. Eisenhower wasn’t perfect but he was a decent man and, hands-down, the last good Republican president.

The Darkest Timeline: 100% what you said. Eisenhower saw the worst of humanity and - for all his faults - wanted to ensure *it was never forgotten*.

Not to detract from the sentiment or Eisenhower's role in documenting the atrocities, it seems that Eisenhower didn't say that, but words to that effect. There is an excellent discussion of the topic in the link below. Circa 1970, my 4th grade teacher mistakenly showed us a documentary about WW II obviously meant for a much higher grade level. It showed the ovens, mass graves & flame throwers. I guess some parents raised a stink because she apologized the next day. Personally, I think it was an excellent lesson on what humanity is capable of. https://www.truthorfiction.com/did-dwight-eisenhower-say-someday-someone-will-claim-it-never-happened-in-1945/

I think we got our first lessons on it in 7th grade and every 2 years after. You can't forget the images with mountains of prothestics, baggage, gold teeth, wedding bands etc Every student went to visit a concentration camp at least once and if you were "lucky" you got to listen to a survivor. For me the medical ward and obviously the ovens were the most chilling. Of course we had 2-3 boys making jokes in bad taste, but I think they mainly covered their harrowing feelings with it.

PunchinelloTX: and yet... here we are seeing that it's trivial to evade the censorbot on BP. More importantly, people get arrested for things like this: https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/man-arrested-private-eye-joke-palestine-action-ogaripb9. P.S. Palestine Action - which I do not support - is infamous for spraying paint into RAF jet engines. I decry such t*******m and totally agree with the UK government's decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist organization (because I don't want to get arrested). Meanwhile, the UK government continues to supply Israel despite Israel converting Gaza into a place that looks like a German city after the RAF had given it a visit circa 1943-45. And that's fine. Of course it's fine. 😬

To learn more about the Aged Like Wine subreddit, we reached out to the community's founder, who was kind enough to have a chat with Bored Panda.

"It started on a whim! I was a typical Redditor browsing r/agedlikemilk when that first started, and some people were pointing out posts that aged like wine instead," the creator shared. "Making a new sub is only a few clicks, and I was surprised at how quickly the sub started. Maintaining and removing constant reposts and deleting vile mean comments was way more work back then. There's more tools and automation, so it isn't as big of a hassle nowadays."

"The weirdest part is that now I feel a bit of obligation to keep it running and free of spam," the founder continued. "It feels like a surprise kid I gotta babysit now, and it nags in the corner of my mind whenever I think about quitting Reddit. I recently set timers to restrict my Reddit usage (30 or 60 minutes depending on the day), and it can get rough doing some mod stuff while staying under the timer."

    We also asked the founder what the community in Aged Like Wine is like. "Thankfully, our subreddit is pretty chill," they noted. "Things apparently age like milk way more often than aging like wine! Their number of submissions and moderation team size dwarves ours by a ton."

    "The sub went crazy when COVID hit, apparently lots of people predicted stuff about vaccines and quarantine," the creator added. "Then it was chill during Biden's term, but with DJT president again, the sub is seeing more activity again."

    This has clearly been altered to fit Trump although the actual quote is similar: “As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.” BTW, Mencken has many such quotes regarding democracy; he seems to have not thought highly of the people or have had much faith in democracy itself.

    That’s the thing. The Left HAS admitted it. The left knew Biden wasn’t the right choice for a second term and we can easily admit now that Harris wasn’t a strong enough candidate, as amazing of a human being as she is. The left has no problem admitting it. The right can’t - most can’t admit Trump is far worse than any Democrat candidate has ever been. The problem isn’t even really with the candidates, it’s with the ideology. Get rid of Trump, and MAGA will just assign a new leader. But Liberals want human rights and prosperity for all, not just the wealthy. The right wants a racist f*****t dictatorship. The two sides are not the same.

    We were also curious about the kinds of content that often pops up on Aged Like Wine. "When we first started, there were a ton of appreciation posts. Like such and such celebrity aging fine (ex. Steve Carrell) and occasional positive news," the founder says. "I miss those! We've lost some of that as the sub grew; some people even report wholesome posts as off-topic, which is kinda sad."

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "My favorite post of all time was the insane predictions about the Area 51 meme from a while back (predicting Naruto running)," the creator continued. "Nowadays, I enjoy posts whenever any major new technology is developed, as there's always someone who predicted it beforehand."

    Finally, the founder left us with some wise words: "Remember, the internet never forgets!"

    I'm sure that a huge percentage of Trump voters were just angry because the black man did such a great job. They frothed at the mouth about him. And rather than admitting that a PoC can be as good as a white one, they threw a temper tantrum that is about to destroy their society. That's narcissism and egomania, everyone.

    I remember the 1970s. One strand of thinking warned us of a potential approaching ice-age. Another warned us of the greenhouse effect causing global warming - some suspected the two might cancel each other out. And there was always the threat of a new breed of fascism - very apparent here in the UK of the 1970s. Octavia Butler was 20 years behind the times...

Today, harvest time is in early September. That means, logicaly, that the world was warmer, back then. Y'all need to actually pay attention.

    When it comes to predicting the future, there’s not much that most of us can do. We might make hopeful bets on our favorite sports team winning the game tonight or pray that it doesn’t rain when we plan to go for a picnic over the weekend. But according to the BBC, there is a simple rule that can help us make better predictions. 

    Apparently, author Nassim Nicholas Taleb came up with a rule of thumb for how to predict how long something will last. “The first question you should ask is how long it has already existed. The older it is, the more likely it is to go on surviving,” Tom Chatfield explains.

    The problem is that sociopaths are born all the time. There is no way to find out if a child will be one until they start to grow a bit. Then when they become adults, they will get jobs as the bosses we all hate, the bullying police who get away with corruption, and politicians who only do the job for power and wealth.

    Chatfield goes on to explain that time is the best indicator of what’s going to happen in the future. So instead of looking forward, we actually need to look back. “Our only genuinely reliable technique for looking ahead is to ask what has already proved enduring: what has shown fitness and resilience in the face of time itself, surviving its shocks and as**ults across decades, centuries or millennia,” he notes.

    Ok, funny embarrassing story. I promise this is on topic. So a few days ago I installed Chrome onto my laptop and it auto-installed a bunch of extensions I'd had on other computers, then I went through them and uninstalled the ones I didn't need. I saw I had this "Make America Kittens Again" extension which was installed but turned off, because I hadn't really ever used it. It replaces Trump with kittens. I thought what the heck, I am so sick of seeing this guy everywhere, and I turned it on. Cut to today and this post right here. The title says "skit" so when I saw kittens, I assumed it was just one frame of a video and BP had just not posted a relevant frame. Wouldn't be the first time. So I went to the original Reddit and was stumped that apparently the OP had replaced the video with another still frame. Huh, weird. Went to YouTube, Google, no videos anywhere. Didn't remember what I'd done until I found a Snopes article about a 1992 Mad comic about Trump and YET ANOTHER KITTEN.

    According to McCrindle, there are a few important factors to keep in mind when trying to predict the future. First, they note that we mustn’t ignore asymmetrical trends. Nowadays, even a trend that emerges through social media can be extremely important and impactful. Just look at the #MeToo movement. At the same time, generational transitions can help us anticipate future trends. If we keep an eye on the younger generations, we might be able to see what’s coming.

    Oh knock it off with the “both parties are equally as bad” BS. That’s not true at all. A quote I read once went something like “when the Left goes crazy, they throw spaghetti sauce at paintings and protest loudly in the streets for the rights of minorities. When the right goes crazy, people die, get thrown in prison or killed for not being white, and have their human rights taken away.” We are not the same. The Left might be annoying to you, but the Right is dangerous for everyone.

    Trump is far worse, though not in the same flashy way. There is now no hope of the US doing what it needs to to curb climate change. And that will k**l so many people, so many animals, make so many species go extinct that his evilness will be incomparably worse than any leader of the past. Hitler will probably be forgotten except as a footnote (at most) in 1000 years (if we still have a civilization). But in 1000 years, people's lives will still be worse because of Trump and his ilk.

    McCrindle notes that catalytic changes can assist us when making predictions as well. They explain that this is when a catalyst and a trend work together to cause societal changes. An example of this is how popular working from home has become in recent years. The catalyst for this change was the pandemic, as many people were forced out of the office. But society has since transitioned instead of going back to exactly where we were before.

    Another important factor we can’t ignore when looking towards the future is human centricity. McCrindle points out that the human psyche will always play a crucial role in shaping what’s to come. And finally, counter trends are something we should all be keeping an eye on if we want to predict what’s going to happen next. There will always be a subset of people who want to go against the grain and revive past trends that are no longer mainstream.

    I feel like we're in an intro to a post-apocalyptic movie, where they're showing headlines and playing soundbites of all the horrible things happening to give the audience a glimpse of the backstory to the apocalypse.

    While it can be entertaining when we realize that we happened to predict the future, we all know that life is unpredictable. So it’s probably best to just accept that we won’t always know what’s going to happen. Yes, we should learn lessons from history and work hard to ensure that we don’t repeat mistakes of the past. But we don’t need to fixate on trying to anticipate what tomorrow will bring. Life is full of surprises, good and bad. So we might as well just be along for the ride!

    They also prioritize Order over Justice. That's why detention without due process is such a danger to democracy. It' not just illegal immigrants being detained and deported to foreign gulags but legal green card holders and soon enough other vulnerable peoples.

    And that's the illness the USA never wanted really to treat, and Trump is just the symptom. Instead of finally ending the s**t that made the base for these jokes, you just let it go on, were outraged for 1 day when the next black person was m******d - oh, sorry, "unfortunately killed by the police who is so sorry" and then went back to your pretty little lives. And those who wanted it like that saw you and realised that they could have it way worse because who would stop them?

There's been so much horrible, abominable stuff happening in this administration that it's hard to maintain the same level of outrage about it -- we are becoming fatigued, after all of the fertilizer shoveled on top of us for so long. It's starting to feel like "the new normal" -- and that's a danger.

And I’m no genius! I’m just an Average Jane (and maybe even slightly below average) and I could see it wouldnt work; why were much, *much*, MUCH smarter people than I convinced it would?

    I was raised by a Gen X mum who was very much a rebel and one of the people who was always standing up for the “underdogs” and raging against “the machine.” She taught me to read lots of books, always be wary of politicians, and try to do the right thing, especially that which will help the most people. It really shaped me as a person today - I even remember being shocked the first time I heard blatant racism towards Black folks because I was taught that was wrong and not to be tolerated. Kind of weird getting into my teens and realizing not everyone was raised like that. My coworker was baffled when I was talking about voting for a politician with really good public school policies - “but you don’t even have kids, why do you care?” 😂🥲 because I want to live in a good society, geez

    Trump doesn’t need to be golfing. He has technically the most important job in the country, he can put the clubs down for a few years. Instead of spending all the money he’s “saving” by firing everyone on expensive golf trips that he INSISTS need to happen on golf courses he owns (coincidentally also the only golf courses he wins tournaments/gets good golf scores at too). He’s such a joke.

He’s never designed any of his spacecraft or cars - except the cybertruck and we all know how well that went. He’s not a scientist.
