If you pause for a moment and look around, you’ll see the signs of life long-lived everywhere. From faded wooden floors to sofa marks, and your beloved doggo’s face, things are constantly changing and surrendering to time.
Call it getting worn down, aging, or acquiring a story to tell, you cannot escape the passage of time. So Bored Panda has compiled a collection full of the most intriguing and incredible examples of things being marked by time, whether it’s the wear and tear of gravity, friction, or repeated use. It’s beautiful how philosophical we get when looking at things from such an existential perspective!
Psst! More incredible things that got worn out with time can be found in our previous posts here, here, and here.

One Of The Oldest ‘Beware Of The Dog’ Signs In The World, Found In Pompeii Ruins, Italy
Chewie Baron 4 years ago
The naming of The Canary Islands comes from the Latin for dog, as the Romans used the dogs from there to hunt with. So the islands were known as Isla Canaris. The bird was then named after the Island.

I find it oddly beautiful. It makes me think of the Green Man/Woman (sometimes referred to as "Jack in Green", a pagan symbol/deity found throughout the mythologies of England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. They are often associated with fertility, rebirth, nature and their likeness appears on many old churches and castles as the face of an ageless man or woman with leaves and vines twisting around their features.

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.
But not all goods get worn out with time. For example, automobiles, heavy machinery, mainframe computers, musical instruments, and water heaters are all designed with wear parts that are maintained generally by replacement of parts.

My first guess was grease but the completeness of their body shapes doesn't fit that theory. The hanging light looks pretty bright and the angle is right; I'd say it's years of bleaching by sun and artificial light, and there are people in the seats often enough to keep those patches darker. Matches the notion that daylight hours, or when the lights are on, are when the place would be occupied; there'd rarely be lights on and no one there. Must be a popular cafe!

Berlin Wall: Graffiti Spray Paint Layers On A Broken Piece
Navin Kumar 4 years ago
seems like people have expressed themselves quite vehemently over the years
Hermione Granger 4 years ago
We’ve got a huge rock in the town I grew up in that people paint. It used to be at the old HS, where the “graffiti” started with the basketball team painting “class of 85” or something like that. They moved it the a park, and now people paint it for fun. Like, for birthdays and events. It’s super cool for your family to paint the rock for you lol. We painted it for my sister last summer, and it was painted for the pride event last weekend. A piece of paint broke off and there were so many layers on it. There’s probably like at least 10,000 layers of paint! Anyway, thought that’d be a cool story to share with y’all.

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.
But not only goods get worn out with time. Time leaves marks on living beings too, from animals to human beings. At the same time, it makes us more self-confident, empathic, and wise, and the signs of aging come at that price.

M O'Connell 4 years ago
It depends on the traffic involved. Traditional cobblestone streets are perfect for pedestrians, horses and hard-tired carts, but they require intensive maintenance when used for modern vehicle traffic with rubber tires. Fast moving rubber tires literally create a suction force that pulls at the bricks. This is easy to see when you look at a dirt or gravel road and compare how much dust is kicked up between a horse and cart, and a car, even if they're moving at the same speed.

Wow, this brings back memories. I was on a debate team in high school. I used to use a paint layer example like this when debating creationists on why lower stratum layers are in fact older (seriously - they would try to deny this). As you can see in the above photo, the red paint layer was laid down first, *before* the blue layer. Red layer was earlier in time. No other way to explain it. So the analogy… any fossils in the red layer will be OLDER than those in the blue. Hence, the layers testify to a timeline, squarely correlating with the bottom-to-top chronology of the gradual development of life that we see in the fossil record. Which clearly shows simple to complex. So go ahead, creationists. Ask me why there are no bunny rabbit fossils in Devonian strata. I can answer that question, using a few facts to do so. You can’t.

As I'm a rentable engineer, I come to see a lot of offices, and there are basically two kinds - those where your next-higher employee, usually the one that rented you, gets you intact or new stuff on your desk ... and those were everyone changes out their stuff that still works, but is pretty worn out, for new items, and you get to use the messed up remains of whatever. The latter, usually, are worse in other things, too.

Dynein 4 years ago
2000-year-old DNA on an open surface? Unlikely, since DNA is fully biodegradable. There was probably a thin layer of skin cells on this, but if it was burned like clay usually is, the heat would have broken down the organic molecules quite severely. Any bits left would have been taken care of by microbes and random chemical reactions ages ago (it doesn't look glazed). Some bits might have been pressed slightly more deeply into the clay and thereby have been a little bit better protected... but they would still have been very close to the surface, and clay is porous so water and microbes would still have seeped in. I wouldn't hold my breath.

100 Of Each: Mutilated Bills, Bills In Circulation, And Brand New

Brand new bills are nearly impossible to count, as they stick together so well. Back when I worked in jobs with cash drawers, I always kind of ruffled them when I counted them. They may not have stacked so pretty afterward, it you could finally count them.
Scott 4 years ago
Having worked as a teller for some time, the "mutilated" bills would definitely not have been considered as such at the bank I worked at. The rule of thumb for us was "if you wouldn't keep in your wallet, don't keep it in your drawer." Oh, and new uncirculated bills are evil. I hated them. Every time we'd get in a buy of new bills the transactions would take forever to complete to make sure they weren't sticking.

Puddles After Rain Show The Spots Where The Wheels Are In This Parking Lot
John C 4 years ago
I don't know the first thing about blacktop mixing or application, but I feel like the pavers missed the mark here - this isn't supposed to happen. Maybe they used a mix meant for cooler weather and it got too hot and pliable? Or maybe they opened up the parking lot before it had fully cured? I NEED ANSWERS.
M O'Connell 4 years ago
It usually has to do with grade preparation before the pavement was laid. Asphalt is plastic and does deform with heat but it has stretched down into holes created by compaction of the substrate. If it had just deformed due to early traffic or improper mix they would look like little craters, with raised rims.
