Some things in this world need time to mature. Cheese and wine, relationships, our self-esteem… But they are not what this post is about. Quite on the contrary—we will be looking at things that miserably failed the test of time and made it into full walk of shame mode.

Thanks to the subreddit “Aged Like Milk” and its 713k devoted members, we have this precious collection of some pretty things, said or done, making a solid U-turn. “A subreddit dedicated to all those things in media and elsewhere that didn’t stand the test of time, at all,” states the community’s description and here you go, my attention is yours.

Let's scroll through some of the sourest cases below that will remind us all to think twice before letting something out into this world.

    Without proper knowledge and training the calculator is pretty useless. We have literally access to the worlds knowledge in our pocket and people believe earth is flat and vaccines cause autism. Mankind didn't age well.

    Also we technically don't carry calculators around...the device we carry around just happens to also contain a calculator.

    It is the same answer to these questions: Why try to remember anything when Google is in your pocket? Why try learning foreign languages when a translator apps is a click away? Why try learning to read when your smartphone can dictate it for you?

    imagine if they were letting you use calculator for basic calculus. The world would be even more damp now, if that´s possible.

    In order to not regret things you said or did and make them stand the test of time, you gotta be really good at decision making and being aware of what the future holds. But even then, it’s just a very human thing to do.

    Unless you’re a superforecaster. It’s the practice of prediction that covers everything from whether a currency will become stronger, one country will invade another, or there will be civil unrest in a city. Superforecasters calculate the probability of something happening and then adjust that as circumstances change. In this way, they’re able to come up with consistent predictions.

    But it’s much more complex than that. According to Bloomberg, superforecasters did not accurately predict Brexit, putting the chances of a Leave vote at 23% in June 2016—the month of the referendum. Their predicted figure had been higher a few months previously, but they had adjusted the likelihood downwards, reports the BBC.

    This is the problem companies have... concentrating on what others are doing and not themselves. Apple might be a horrible company, but for the longest time, they acted like everyone else didn't exist, they compared their new phones with their old phones

    Unless, of course, your participation in the stock market has a negative influence on our profits and you block us from destroying a company just to make money. Than we need changes in laws to prevent this from happening again.

    Though I will never defend a sexual predator, I find it odd how he's the only one constantly being scapegoated, considering many others from his time and some even more famous did the same and even worse. Kinda makes you wonder, ah!
