“Time and tide wait for no man” is one of our oldest sayings, pre-dating modern English and going all the way back to 1225. A true classic, this saying has stood the test of time because of it's simple, fundamental truth; when it comes to longevity, basic is always better.
This list, compiled by Bored Panda, is an ode to all kinds of things that have faced up to the unstoppable force of time, and survived. Their strange, ethereal beauty lies in the stories that they tell; the wear and tear of gravity, friction, repeated use and weather gives you a definite idea of the kind of existence these objects have experienced over the years, and tell a lot about those that used them!

My Brother And I Each Received Identical Teddy Bears When We Were Born. I Loved Mine Just A Bit More...
Mike Ouyang 6 years ago
The loved one, is the one on the left. Stayed with you through thick and thin, and a few washes in the washing machine.
Lilli 6 years ago
aww! I am 13 and I have had a stuffed penguin named Poppy since birth. she has been through the washing machine, through many stitches, tears, and one day it got so bad that almost all of her stuffing fell out. she had huge rips everywhere. my mom tried to fix her, it did not work. finally, we sent her to a professional place where they fixed her until she was good as new! I still sleep with her. :D :3

Aw, the one on the left looks like my "little bear"! When he lost an eye, my mom gave him pretend anesthesia before fixing it.
Bunzilla 6 years ago
There is hope for the one on the left. If you carefully open it up along a seam, remove the old stuffing, wash the fur, use a comb to help tease out what remains of the fur... then you can restuff your teddy with fresh stuffing, and fix the tears. I have a teddybear encyclopedia that detailed the process, and it's actually pretty straightforward for someone who knows how to hand-sew. I opened up a teddy bear once that had a music box in its chest that had been damaged. I was able to fix it, and close it back up. You'd never know the difference!
Jessica Temple 6 years ago
I am 34 and received a teddy bear at birth from my father. My now 10 year old son has loved Teddy as his since he was about 9m and still can not sleep with out him. My bear has had and continues to have so much love. I wonder if my grandchild will also get to love him as his own someday? Fills my heart with joy.

Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or aging. It is used in a legal context for such areas as warranty contracts from manufacturers, which usually stipulate that damage from wear and tear will not be covered.
Wear and tear is a form of depreciation which is assumed to occur even when an item is used competently and with care and proper maintenance. For example, repeated impacts may cause stress to a hammer's head. This stress is impossible to prevent in the normal use of the tool for its designed task, and any attempt to avert it impedes its functionality. At the same time, it is expected that the normal use of a hammer will not break it beyond repair during a reasonable life cycle.

The Glass Globe Of This Light Focused The Sunlight Enough To Burn The Suns Path In The Grass
Max L. 6 years ago
Being green it doesn't ignite. However due to the convexity of the glass not really magnifying the sun light at the point the dry can ignite, it might be just heating it until it dries and nothing more.

The phenomenon of wear and tear reflects the second law of thermodynamics, in which objects stray from their original form and function over time unless energy from an external force is used to maintain them. If restoration is impossible an object is regarded as consumable. Parts that are designed to wear inside a machine, like bearings and O-rings are intended to be replaced with new ones; consumables like paper, cardboard, fabrics, and product packaging are designed with a service life commensurate with their intended use. For example, grocery stores may issue customers a paper or plastic sack to carry out groceries, but it is intended that the sack will have a short lifespan before wear and tear would cause it to fail.

Moving Around Dumbells With My Foot Wore My Shoes Into Showing My Foots Skeletal Pattern
Durable goods (e.g. automobiles, heavy machinery, mainframe computers, musical instruments, handguns, water heaters) are designed with wear parts that are maintained generally by replacement of parts. One way to determine if a good is durable or not is whether a service technician or repairman would typically attempt repairs on it. A specialist may need to be consulted, such as an auto mechanic, a computer technician, a luthier, a gunsmith, or a plumber. An automobile's engine may be repairable with a simple adjustment or replacement of a single and inexpensive broken part. Similarly, an electric water heater element that fails from years of wear and tear may be replaced rather than the entire water heater.
Whereas an automobile needs consumable fuel and lubricants to operate, components such as tires, seats, and paint are subject to wear and tear and typically are not covered under any warranty when subjected to normal use.

My cat had allergies and would be itchy a lot so she would rub her nose and sides on one corner leading into my kitchen. The oils from her fur would stain the paint a brownish color. It's easy enough to wash off but haven't been able to bring myself to do it since she died. I miss her rubbing up against everything. We did finally figure out cortisone shots would help for months at a time and you know when it was time for a new one because she'd start rubbing again.

Exactly, I wouldn't reach for the left door even if I was left handed due to an expectation of someone opening it from the other side. And if you're going to open the right door that swings open from the left it's most comfortable to do so with your right hand.

Wellworn Chainsaw Gear After 8 Years
Ivo H 6 years ago
Ugh.. I never understood why it's even allowed to make plastic gears in machines. Isn't like almost any material better? I'm surprised it took so long to wear it down
birdhouse 6 years ago
It's a safety measure. That is made to sheer off and stop the blade in an extreme condition. But I agree it is a pain and the fact it lasted 8 years is incredible.

I wear several Sterling silver rings permanently. One even had to be cut off during medical emergency, even though it cost me $20 12 years ago I paid $50 to repair it. They have sentimental value. As to hygiene, as well as showering and regular hand washing, I make sure to shift and soap the rings and clean them each time I was my hands. They are always shiny and clean ^-^

It annoys me that she wore the ring so long but it was never centered on her finger.
Shinobi Shabby 6 years ago
1. she never took them off? 2. how'd she keep the dirt from all that cutaways 3. she's been wearing that ring off centre for 9 yrs??
Mandy Delaforce (PC Girl) 6 years ago
I'm surprised that didn't hurt! I don't wear my rings anymore. I get eczema under the ring, which makes things itchy and sore.

I could understand if it was a wedding ring but that's not it...and by the looks of it - it's not the only one either.

Since I (22F) Was A Baby I’ve Had A Sensory Issue Where I’ve Needed To Rub Something Soft In Order To Be Able To Fall Asleep. This Is The Tail Of The Stuffed Animal I’ve Been Using For The Last 12 Years. I Rub It Every Single Night

My daughter does this with the tag from her stuffed animal. It's really cute to see it all worn and frayed.

It can be called an "issue" when someone needs a soft plush to rub still at 22 years old, like the woman who posted this.
