People say that it’s easy to be right but even easier to be wrong. More often than not, people forget to be careful about what they say online. Quickly typing a few nonsense sentences and pressing "share" might seem like a great idea at the time, but the truth is, they might stay on the internet forever.
The online community called Aged Like Milk is here to remind you of that. As the moderators write in their description, it’s "a subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all." More than 795k members are on a mission to find and document ridiculous posts that quickly turned sour.
Take a look at some of the worst takes Bored Panda has collected from this group and upvote your favorite ones. Also, if you’re hungry for more examples of how people’s opinions came back to bite them, be sure to check out Part 1 of this post right here.

According to Know Your Meme, "aged like milk" is a catchphrase that mainly describes social media posts that have grown increasingly troublesome since their inception. When people throw their opinions left and right, some of them are bound to be wrong. Well, they might look fine at the time, but time truly shows which beliefs aged poorly by completely breaking modern social norms.
While the origin of the phrase is unknown, the earliest usage comes from a 2006 comedy special Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself. A puppet called Walter said "She's aging like milk!" in one part of the dialog. Since then, the clip received more than 4.2M views on YouTube and quickly spread to other platforms, forums, and threads.

A Daily Mail Article From December, 2000 (Reupload)
There's a reason it's called the Daily Fail. Consistently on the wrong side of history since the day it was founded. This is the newspaper that supported the rise of the Na zi s, opposed women's rights, denied (and still does) the existence of climate change... A couple of weeks ago they were still publishing articles about the dangerous far-right militias in Ukraine and how Putin was right to be worried about the threat from them...
Nobody can be right 100% of the time. But being wrong 100% of the time is equally impressive.

“By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet’s impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”

Aw, poor old fax machines! They had their moment.

What this leaves out is the fact that it would take 30 minutes for a page to load in 2000. And listening to that stupid dial tone was an absolute rush. Who wouldn't have given up on internet in 2000 only to come back to it a few years later.
This is a really good point. The article was published in 2000, the data from the studies they cited probably at least 2 years old and that was the time where high speed internet was just starting to become available. We only got "cable" internet in about 1998 and it made a huge difference in how often we used it. There was also much less available on the internet. We still used Encarta to look up facts then

In all fairness, if you were invested in an internet-driven company, odds are you were about to watch it go bankrupt in 3... 2... 1... At the time, tech had been wildly over-invested in, as investors failed to realize that the late-90s surge in tech spending was largely in preparation for Y2K. NASDAQ was already down 50% and would lose another 50% and take another 15 years to reach its previous highs.
And then there was *broadband... rest is history. Fixed that for ya!

Reading this makes me feel old. I remember when there was no internet as well as when the Internet first rolled out to the masses. I also remember thinking that if the Internet was always going to be like aol that it would never catch on. Aol and dialup was infuriating back in the day.
2000 was the peak of the burst of the dot-com bubble., so this article was quite relevant in its day for anyone who lived thru it. Consider it history
I've always loved the Daily Mail journalists accuracy of it's contents and being on point the mood and emotions of the public.
This is hilarious. The Daily Mail is one of the three UK tabloids that I check daily while online. Good for entertainment, like the WWE.
It's one of the rags that form what I call the unholy trinity of hate. Those rags are The Daily Mail, Daily Express and The Sun.
That's the Daily Mail for you. It's always been full of 'facts' like this.
Just Googled that statement on the Internet. Answer in a nutshell: NOPE.
How wrong can they have been? But that science correspondent is probably still writing for them....
On the contrary, prior to Y2K, there were lots of folks who were using the Internet, even though it was still in its adolescence. It was growing a lot. I'd like to know where this rag got its alleged facts.
To be fair I am not convinced that I am not someone's figment of imagination and I just exist as a string of numbers on this site
By that time, a lot of us were downloading songs from Napster, chilling in IRC/ICQ, making content in Geocities and LAN parties for games. If anything, it was about to blow-up.

If you ever felt slightly embarrassed about something you shared online, don’t worry. After all, social media is the place for us to vent about politics, culture, sports, our personal lives, and more, so you’re definitely not the only person to ever have a bad take. In fact, more than half of Americans (57 percent) say they have social media regrets. One in six routinely rue their decision to post at least once a week, with Millennials being the most regular offenders.

Remember Y2k?
These numbers come from YouGov Omnibus' survey where they asked U.S. citizens about posting or texting something they regret. Many people admitted they were less anxious about sounding silly compared to a few years back. However, they are more worried about damaging their reputation at work — 22 percent said they are concerned that a questionable post might affect their career.
Results also showed that 14 percent of participants feared they may hurt relationships with family members or partners by sharing misguided images or messages. Plus, women were slightly more likely to feel troubled about social media blunders damaging their close relationships than men.

If you’re wondering how to make sure your social media posts won’t come back to bite you, always think twice before sharing something online. Ask yourself if there’s anything in this particular post or comment that could potentially hurt you in the future. Think about whether it might defame a specific view or lifestyle. Also, determine whether your words will actually contribute to the conversation or whether they will only create more noise.

Also, it’s always good to self-reflect and review your older media posts. It’s recommended to delete inactive accounts, provocative or controversial topics and discussions, and anything that might make you look overly cynical or mean. You have a larger audience than you think, so it’s quite easy to overshare and sacrifice your privacy. And just remember, if you ever end up posting something extremely cringe-worthy, there’s a big chance the members of the Aged Like Milk group will pick it up and will make sure to share it with the whole community.

And we just turned the lions loose on unsuspecting civilians and then shrugged as the lion do what they do. Worse, we gave the Taliban weapons.

Most people rely on their computer’s built-in antivirus program to protect their system. The default antivirus may be able to protect your system against a few offline and online threats. Still, if even one of these threats bypasses your system security, it can be hazardous. So, invest in a third-party antivirus program, namely McAfee. It’s a trusted and well-reputed name in the antivirus space, and millions of people trust this brand. The number of its user keeps on increasing every year.

When I was a child my parents told med to remember, that you cannot unsay what you said. Now parents must also tell their kids that you cannot un-post on the internet.
