Time is not just relative, it gives a whole new perspective of things that wasn't there. Think of it as an ultimate test to determine whether stuff is legit or not. And while some things remain unchanged, like the world still hailing Keanu Reeves, others turn sour, like an acidic vinegar you’d never, ever dare to call wine.
This phenomenon is known as poorly aged things, which means they not only didn’t get better over time, they got way worse to the point of passing cringe or meeting regrets. So in order to see some of the best of the worst real-life examples, we took a visit to the “Poorly Aged Things” Twitter account that does precisely what it says: “showcases poorly-aged things and blinx.”
With 719.9K followers and counting, it offers some of the most remarkable examples of feeling remorse over something you were honestly proud of before. How did this 180° change happen? I told you, it’s all time’s fault.

Part of the beauty (and the horror!) of the world we live in is that things are for the most part unforeseeable. I mean, nobody would have believed you if, back in 2018, you told us there was the greatest pandemic in modern history right around the corner that would forever change our lives as we were used to. But on 31 December 2019 (it’s hard to believe it was two years ago!) the coronavirus was first reported from Wuhan, China, from which it rapidly spread around the globe.
But what if we could have known it prior to the outbreak actually happening? Could we have changed the debilitating course of events that followed? The question may never have answers, but we can have a look at what it takes to make predictions about the future, and how accurate they actually are.
If you've never heard of superforecasting, 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.

The article was dated 6 Dec 2000. By that time internet was already in full swing. Granted most people were using dial-up modems. But the sentiments, even back then was this is the way forward. This is how the future is going to look like. Had that article been published 5 years earlier (circa 1995), it may have been more believable. World wide web was just gaining traction. Many people were still in the learning stage back then.

In fairness to the Daily Mail, they often do get it very wrong. "Hurrah for the Brownshirts" was a great pro fascist headline. (Not much has changed to be fair)

Father in law who was already a computer boffin laughingly referred to the ‘information super highway’ as the ‘information super bicycle path’ in the early 90s. Couple of years on he started an internet company and literally put Vietnam on the internet- hardware and all- and set up the system for the National Library of China.

99% of the population uses the internet hours and hours a day. Boy, you guys were wrong.
Being a superforecaster entails one quintessential personality trait, which is superior analytic ability. Philip Tetlock, the Leonore Annenberg University Professor in Democracy and Citizenship at the University of Pennsylvania, identified many people who could be turned into “superforecasters”—people whose analytic ability is considerably better than random people (or who, in financial analyst terms, “beat the market”).
It doesn’t mean trusting your gut is all there is, since analysts have to do many other things besides just forecast, but it surely helps, Philip argues. Other personality traits for a superforecaster include being intelligent, playing games and solving puzzles, being able to pragmatically use other people’s ideas, and being open-minded to new data which shows up.

They are all things people said, or did, that were expected to do well and then failed miserably. Like Bill Gates wishing his wife another happy 25 years - they just announced their divorce like two days ago. Or the guy who sold his bitcoin at $14/coin to just cut his losses - bitcoin is worth over $56,000 per coin today so if he had just left it, he would've been a millionaire.

The site has had some glitch problems, like comments vanishing when you click on them, bottom comments appearing as top on a list til you load more...try going to the article from the main page and finding the comment instead of using the notification link (slower but works most of the time). If it's getting bad, contact the bored panda team and hopefully they can find out why ur account is overglitching

There is a difference. Trans people are a category of people. As a category, trans people have not done anything to deserve getting hate. Whereas Trump, the individual, has done plenty of things that people hate him for, myself included.
