As you get older, you realize one harsh truth about life: time passes, whether you want it to or not. Parents get old, children grow up, and your favorite sneaker will get worn down to the point that it looks like a slipper.

Here, we have a list of interesting things that show just how much time affects the things we use. Some of these we might not even think about, like the floors we walk on and the counters we eat on. But isn't it sometimes intriguing to take a look at how things look after years and years of daily wear and tear?

Bored Panda reached out to Shelly Kannagh, a recycling artist, master thrifter, and DIY decorator who shares her creations on YouTube. We talked with Shelly about reusing and repurposing old, worn-down things, and she even shared some tips for those who might be new to the repurposing game. Read her thoughts below!

    The title is not wrong, but the centuries of use is probably not the main cause of its appearance. Peoples feet probably contributed, but centuries of rain water running down these steps made of what appears to be sandstone probably had a greater impact on eroding them and created this cool appearance.

    I am surprised that nobody has mentioned the circle on the outside of wallets. There was a time when every teenage boy's wallet had a circle on the outside from carrying a condom on the inside. Doesn't anyone do that any more? Or do guys just not carry wallets any more?

    It was a rite of passage when I was younger too, but we finally figured out that in the unlikely event that we ever got to use that condom, it would have been ruined by heat and pressure, especially if it was in there long enough to leave an impression in the leather.

    I've had my leather wallet for over 40 years and have carried it in the back right pocket of whatever trousers I was wearing every day. That's more than 15,000 days of it sitting snug against my right buttock, which is why the wallet is no longer flat, it's curved to the exact shape of my buttock.

    You've probably heard the saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure." It's especially relevant in the current climate where overconsumption is rampant. When an item gets old and unattractive, we usually just throw it in the trash, not thinking about how we're contributing to the ever-growing global waste crisis.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    But, perhaps, some things really do reach their end date when they're incredibly worn down? We asked Shelly Kannagh, a recycling artist, thrifter, DIY enthusiast, and the creative mind behind the Repurposed My Way channel to weigh in on the debate. Can we really try to reuse all things or do some of them truly belong in the trash?

    I studied at Cambridge many years ago. I was wondering precisely where the photo was taken. There are clues (there is a church in the background, but I couldn't read the noticeboard, and traffic goes both ways on the road [as the traffic lights face both ways]). I have my ideas, but I can't place it directly (short of actually going there).

    "I think there is almost always a way to reuse or repurpose an item," the master of reusing and repurposing items Shelly Kannagh tells us. "I especially like rusty metal and weather-worn wood that people toss to create many upcycled and renewed projects."

    Granted, repurposing materials like wood and metal comes with its challenges. "Items like wood can be a challenge when it's rotten in spots and crumbles. Most times you can cut out the bad spots if they don't work for your vision. As far as fixing or embracing imperfections, it goes on an item-by-item basis for me," Shelly adds.

First choice was the Pompeii exhibition but the whole arts complex was closed..on Tuesday. 2nd choice was Cincinnati underground complete with a pub stop under the city. They don't do tours on Tuesdays. I finally opted for lunch cruise on paddle wheel boat...with around 200 senior citizens lol. Complete with live banjo playing guide. I never heard My Rose of San Antone on banjo before. I'm from San Antonio. I tipped him $20 for an encore. City is quite pretty for sure.

    For those who are looking to start their recycling and reusing journey, Shelly has some words of encouragement about where to start. "Find things that are pleasing to your eye," she says. "The color may be wrong, but that can always be changed. Try to keep organized, metal pieces, frames, like items, etc. make things easier when you are in the middle of creating."

    "Try to envision what you could do with the item, and how you can create with it," Shelly adds. "When thrifting, put it in your cart if it's something you might want. Give yourself time to think about your final decision. You can always put it back if you don't want it."

    The most important thing, according to Shelly, is to get creative. "Don't be afraid to get dirty and to put things together that you might normally overlook. Have fun with it!"

    Just because an item is old and worn down doesn't mean we can no longer use it. Clothes, for example, nowadays are made from cheap materials and don't really last that long. Experts say that it's because of consumerism. The pressure to supply more stuff results in lower-quality garments, and we all want more clothes for cheaper, right?

    So true. I have a pair of steel-toe ones which are at least 20 years old. Most comfortable shoes I've ever owned - wore them every day for many, many years. The soles have zero tread left, the toes are worn but I just can't bring myself to throw them out. Every so often (in the summer) I wear them and curse Doc Martens for discontinuing the style. Its a sad state of affairs when a company switches from making long-lasting products in favour of planned obselescence. That's what private equity ownership does I guess.

    Well, not necessarily. Lately, the concept of visible mending has been trending. Apparently, extending a garment's life just by nine months can reduce its environmental impact by 20-30%. UK-based department store chain John Lewis also reported a sold-out situation of darning needles in 2022. Sales of products like patches and repair tape also more than doubled, as they went up 61%.

    The Japanese art of visible mending 'sashiko' is similar in its philosophy and execution to 'kintsugi.' Both are about embracing the transcience and imperfection of things with the passage of time. But where kintsugi is about repairing broken pottery with gold, sashiko is about mending fabric with geometrical patterns.

    It could be a five or more digit code with some of them repeating (e.g. 42213) so, if 1234 doesn’t work the options are endless!

    My meditation instructor gave us the code to his studio in case we arrived before him, it was 1,2,3,4,5....I'm pretty sure this is the same. His argument was, if it is his karma to be robbed, then good, one less debt to the universe, he was never robbed.

    I think the chances are the lock was left with the stock 'out of the box code' of 1234, the same way most people who buy chinese ip cameras leave the login as admin 1234 which is why theyre so easy to hack

    Those who want to make art out of mending usually use sashiko sewing kits. But that doesn't mean that all visible mending has to be that way. Kate Sekules, the author of Mend!: A Refashioning Manual and Manifestoclaims that everyone and anyone can do it. "Visible Mending is for everyone, including the unvisual and the cack-handed and the non-sewer. It's experimental stitchery, mending improv, fun with thread."

    My ex had a fit that, after he had already remarried, I had a new boyfriend (3 years after our divorce). At Christmas that year he sent me back the tree ornaments I had bought him over the 10 years we were together - AND, HALF of his wedding ring. Fine by me, it was worth $200. Oh, and the note he included? Was on his new wife's stationery. Class act, that guy.

    A lot of the fading probably has to do with the sun/UV. It's crazy how much the sun can fade clothes just from hanging on the washing line- hang my black work shirts out each week inside out because of it and the inner now looks more brown.

    The goal of visible mending is to highlight the imperfections in a creative, eye-catching way. According to the Embroiderers' Guild of America, people can use visible mending for many issues: "To repair upholstery, fabric or canvas bags, knitted or crocheted accessories or any other items that are constructed from fabric, denim or fibers."

    It's actually extremely common in truck stops where heavy commercial vehicles make hugely deep divots in almost precise tire patterns. Usually the front row of divots, where the steer tires sit, is the most exact and has almost no front to back variation. The middle row of divots, where drive tires sit, will actually have six or eight discrete rows of dips, due to the different wheel bases of tractors varying by as much as a few feet. And the back most divots, where the trailer wheels position varies by fifteen or more feet, usually have a quasi-identifiable mark at the 45/48 foot line (most common length) with significant ruts both forwards and back from longer and shorter wheel positions

    Worn, but probably not to the same degree. The key experiences a lot of friction from other keys on the ring and whatever else might be in your pocket or purse with it. Whereas the only friction on the lock is from inserting and removing the key.

    It's a mechanical prefilter. They're typically used in an opaque container, so there's no light for things to grow. No different than the rest of your pipes. That color is probably just dirt. I'm guessing they're on well water. If they get their drinking water from the fridge dispenser, then it goes through a carbon filter anyway. None of which is to say there aren't microbes in it. Most water contains microbes and our bodies are acclimated to the ones where we live. That's why you need to drink bottled water when visiting foreign lands, or your vacation might not go well.

    Not a surprise when you consider the movement of your foot when you use the stairs. Going up, your foot probably slides forward just a bit, but going down you tend to just place your foot on the tread. You certainly don't want your foot sliding forward on the way down.

    That's probably because women's toilets, in contrast to mens' pissoirs, are not designed for touch-free use, at least in most Western countries. So if you didn't want to touch, say, a toilet in a pool bar with your privates, you have to kind of hover, which compromises your aim. And after a few beers the thought of cleaning up after yourself tends to elude the mind.

    Yeah, and if you use it regularly eventually you don't need to use it every day. It doesn't stop sweat like antiperspirant deodorant, but it does work to keep pits free of stank. It does take time for your body to adapt to it. It's not an instant fix, but of course it doesn't work for everyone. Depends on your body chemistry.

    I personally brush a paste made of water and baking soda into a tea ball, let it work and brush with a rough kitchen sponge and wash normally. Immersing the ball in vinegar for at least four hours also helps. You can try salt and lemon peel, and I think a dilute citric acid solution will also do the job. I've had two metal tea balls for probably twenty years. One is the same model as in the picture and the other is shaped like a duck, although a bit impractical to clean.

    It's an angel. I remember these, I think I had one at one time, who knows where it ended up.

    And wash sneakers regularly. The salt and sweat accelerates the breakdown of material fibers.

    To preserve your shoes- and probably your back- you shouldn't wear the same pair of shoes every day. Switching back and forth also lets them dry off.

    It looks like your feet are trying to correct a slightly off rotation of you legs or hips. You might want to get that checked out.

    I overpronate so the heels of my shoes tend to do that too.

    I also have a pronated wear pattern on the soles of my shoes.

    Spark plugs don't last 50 years. If never used then maybe, but what you see there is just gold old fashioned fuel fouling. That can happen in a matter of weeks if your engine isn't burning properly.

    Yes on both counts. If a plug in an engine from that era had really been used for that long then the electrode would be significantly worn, but that one still seems to retain the square profile of the original. And the shiny knurled surface is also inconsistent with a really old plug.

    In many stores, the left one may never be unlocked. Annoying when you automatically try that door when leaving.

    Well, the right door is usually pull for entry, the left pushed (from the otherside, of course) for exit... I haven't been to the UK or Japan in over twenty years, so I forget - is it the reverse there (or other places where they drive on the left)?
