You don’t need to be a quantum physicist to know that the passage of time is inevitable. As a result, those fine lines on your cheeks are getting more prominent and your doggo is taking way longer to catch the jumpy ball. We change, but so does our environment, and there’s not much we can do about it.
Bored Panda has compiled a list full of worn-down things, objects, and places that have been altered beyond return by time. From weary teddy bears and aging shift knobs to peeling signs and rusty chains, these are some of the most amusing examples people have stumbled upon.
Because even if we can’t stop the clocks, we can at least pause to sit back and see the beauty in the passage of time. After you're done with this list, be sure to check our part 1 and part 2 of worn-out things that all have their tales to tell.

Donkey Statue At The Detroit Institute Of Arts
jtrisn1 5 years ago
When I worked a musuem, we were required to explain to guests that the natural oils from their hands can erode away the material on the artifacts. A whole bunch of people got upset that we told them they have natural oils on their hands.
Julie 5 years ago
They did this same thing inside a natural cavern I visited. They asked for us not to touch the walls or stalagmites because the oil in our hands would destroy their natural beauty, everything was a creamy white color. There was one stalagmite designated for touch...it was solid black, turned from all our oily hands. Actually it was still beautiful, reminded me of volcanic glass...but I got their point.

That is really nice. I love how the human doesn't care about the car. The car can be replaced, but the dog can't.
Bumblebee 5 years ago
Than he should take better care of the dog too. Even though it seems he has been doing this for a long time and is experienced. It just takes 1 time for the dog to jump. Or one big emergency brake of the car. And the dog possibly wouldn't be as happy anymore.. I agree that he looks happy and has been doing this for a long time. But it is and stays an animal. I would never let my dog hang out of a window like this. Because I would love it so much (I don't have a dog). Downvote me you want, but it is the truth. Something could go wrong. And all it takes is just 1 freak accident for the dog to get (badly) injured or possibly worse.

Time is one hell of a tricky business. Some days, it passes like a rocket; other times, it feels like someone put the world on hold. In order to find out more about our ever-changing perception of time and the games it plays with our mind, Bored Panda reached out to Nancy Darling, a professor and chair at the Department of Psychology at Oberlin College and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Adolescence.
Nancy explained that people tend to judge the passage of time as a function of how many things happen. “I find it interesting that when my days are packed, I feel time passes both very fast and very slow.”
She gave an example: “During a busy week, events a week ago seem in the far, distant past because so many things have intervened since.” Simultaneously, we feel like time is flying by because so many things are happening every hour. Not only is our perception of time purely subjective, it’s also somehow both slow and fast at the same time.

The professor also said that as we get older, the way we perceive time tends to change. It has to do with the usual things, “like cooking a meal or grocery shopping, that start taking longer for you to do.”
Most importantly, “the passage of time just marks age and accomplishment,” according to Nancy. “I just got an email this morning reminding me I’d promised to do something in July. That seems both forever ago (I’ve done a thousand things since) and very close (every day, I keep saying I’ll do it ’tomorrow.’)”
Interestingly, we can do that with life as well. Just think of your kids being tiny and dependent, urges the professor. “How can my son be living in Manhattan and getting ready to teach in the public schools? Time flies,” she said. At the same time, Nancy said that she feels like “there are many things I’d always planned to do, but haven’t gotten to (yet).” And she added: “I am too old now?”

That's probably a tram track! Most councils just tarmac-ed them over!
At this point, it’s very important to realize that revising and looking back at our dreams and plans are crucial in keeping time on our side. “If you regularly review what your priorities are and focus on those, you feel like a lot has gotten done and you don’t regret the fact that you’ve wasted your days,” suggests the professor.
It’s all because we need to create a sense of accomplishment, whether big or small, that creates invisible gaps in time. “Days when I accomplish a lot are full and satisfying, but also feel long. A productive week feels like it’s lasted forever. It also feels good,” Nancy concluded. And if time starts feeling longer, it kinda goes slower. Isn’t this exactly the way to stop the clock?

I love a worn out floor at the counter of a corner shop. I think of all the people who stood there buying smokes and alcohol, kids paying for their pick N mix sweets and ladies gossiping with the shop keeper that they have probably known since they were kids who took the shop over after a parent died. Almost always Asian owned and almost always the best shops for random ingredients you couldn't get in a chain store. My favourite corner shop in Portsmouth was called Sweeta's in Hilsea opposite The News Centre. Best Pick N Mix, and they all watched me grow from a small kid to a six foot three inch woman. Their son does the store now but I still bump in to "Sweeta" and she always stops to chat and ALWAYS asks after my mum who used to work in the news centre and pop over to get her lunch.

two options to sharpen: 1. if you have a porcelian or ceramic cup you can gently move the tip of it over the unglazed bottom edge to reshape and sharpen. this also works for dull knives as it is basically a super fine sharpening 'stone'. 2. if you have one of the those tomato pin cushions there is usually a 'strawberry attached to the tomato. the purpose of it is to keep needles sharp by pushing it in the strawberry in and out.

What? Any material wears down after a lot of usage. Needles are tiny so for particles to break off it will be noticeable more quickly.

The White On This Flag Wore Through Faster Than The Red
TS Rhodes 5 years ago
Got to get a little hate for myself. I'll be that the people who are downvoting the fact that this flag is old and needs to be retired count themselves as "real Americans" who respect the flag. Proving they don't know what "respect" means. Bet y'all wear flags on your butts, too. Vote Blue!

The Flag Code is very clear on how old and worn flags should not be displayed. Don't downvote the poster who said the flag should be retired.

If you are going to fly the US flag, or any national flag, please replace it when appropriate due to wear/tear/age/etc. Yes, it's a piece of cloth. Yes, for some reason, some countries are obsessed about their flags. Yes, this just looks sad, like someone gave up on America... Oh wait! Never mind. Leave it as it is.

I'm baffled why they put 6 sockets so close to each other that in reality you can only use 3 or 4 of them because of the shape of the plugs.

Whatever was plugged into it had rather unusual round plugs. Most 2-pin plugs in the US are rectangular, and 3-pin plugs are sort of a trapezium shape.
