Over the years, we at Bored Panda have seen a lot of wholesome TikTok trends, like the one that had users telling their closest people they're enough or another that inspired children to share how cool their parents were. But the platform also has plenty of funny challenges.
The latest one is called "estoy cansado." Translated from Spanish, this phrase means "I'm tired," and folks are using it to label videos where they show their exhausted everyday items.
Scrolling through the uploads, we've noticed quite a few pencils, cords, and even credit cards pushed to their very limits. So we decided to commemorate these objects for their long service and dedicate a whole publication to them. Hopefully, the hard workers will get to retire soon. They've earned it!"

My mother is a public school teacher (India), and children do use pencils just like this there because they are too poor to afford even a new pencil. So from a really young age my mother never lets us throw away anything that can be reused. She takes every such thing and give it to her students. Stationeries, old clothes, plastic bottles, books, newspaper etc. Needless to say she is their favourite teacher. I mean she used our Netflix account to show the kids our eart ( they were super intrigued). She also buys the classes candies, and never gives out homework. The kids don't come to school when she's on a holiday. And on Teachers day and her birthdays she gets a boxful of cards!
Ooh, these are rare. Its just a wood chip with a little bit of graphite at this point.
Man... to cut the eraser and metal coupler off they had to reeeaaaallly wanna use that last 1/4 of pencil lead... I mean, respect
I used to do that when I was little lol. Whoever had the shortest pencil was automatically cool
I’ve done this exact same thing…. many times… many, many times
A strange feeling of anxiety was provoked by looking at this picture. Strange.
Hopefully they don’t need an accurate measurement of something between 14 an 16 cm.
i have an uno card deck that is a conglomerate of about twelve different decks. The newest we bought last year, the oldest from the 90’s i believe
I have a couch pillow like this. A plain off-white pillowcase knotted around it to keep it together and stuffed in nicer case that I can remove and wash.
When you want to be barefoot but there’s a no shirt no shoes no service sign.
What is this? It sort of looks like a hockey stick, but I don’t think that’s what it is
Homeowners Insurance sees pictures like this and mounts a serious effort to track the people down.
I don’t know why but it looks like something from a sci-fi movie
Just a small slip in the shower and.....well the water will wash the blood away.
One can go to their bank and as them to send you a new one, it's free
Yet another person desperately trying to commit arson on their house and make it look like an accident.
The poor things on this list. There’s no point in saving them, the only thing left for them is the sweet release of death
While I didn't grow up with much money, my parents made sure that I never really struggled for food, clothing, etc. They had tough childhoods and weren't afforded the same. So our family used empty magarine containers for tupperware, used things until they abslutely fell apart, etc. I still carry that mentality with me today. I have underwear and tshirts with holes in them that I still wear. Obviously only at home and to sleep in, and only if no one is having an adult sleepover. So I don't fault anyone for absolutely using these things to this point.
Thread title is completely correct. 50 items that really need to be thrown out. I'm just glad than nobody noticed the four new holes and the split seam in my twice patched jeans today.
Things cost money. Poverty is a never ending grind of trying to keep up. Don't shame people for being poor, they already feel ashamed enough.
