Time waits for no man, nor anything really. Use, neglect, or just the simple passing of days and years, inevitably, end up leaving a mark on everything and everyone. Like a canyon being worn down by the flow of water over thousands of years, everyday use can leave its own impact, from grove marks to wear and tear. 

People across the net share the interesting effects of time and use on everyday items. While not intentional, the incremental, tiny changes add up, creating a sort of organic, new art. So get comfortable, settle into your favorite chair, and scroll through. Upvote the most interesting examples and be sure to comment your thoughts below.

My dogs do something similar...No matter where the are in the yard, when I call them they always walk to the center of the yard and make a right angle turn onto a path they've worn and follow it to the house. That part of the yard is wide open and the house is clearly visible. It's funny to watch them make that sharp turn and "merge" onto the path.

Generations Of Bunnies Have Worn A Perfect Groove In My Neighbor's Fence

Generations Of Bunnies Have Worn A Perfect Groove In My Neighbor's Fence

justin_memer Report

Time really doesn’t treat everyone and everything equally. By one’s late forties, it’s easy to see what people have “aged well” or “aged poorly,” while in objects, certain materials hold up a lot better than others. A car, left in a field for decades will inevitably begin rusting down into nothing over time, while plastic and glass, unless there is some significant force, will be around for centuries.

Some of the largest examples of this are in nature, where water, wind, and sun have been steadily working before we had even emerged from the oceans. The Grand Canyon, for example, took the Colorado River around five to six million years or “work,” wearing down rocks piece by piece.

"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." "I suppose you are real?" said the Rabbit. And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive. But the Skin Horse only smiled. "The Boy's Uncle made me Real," he said. "That was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can't become unreal again. It lasts for always."

Physicists and other scientists call this particular phenomenon entropy, as new matter or energy is never created, but everything slowly breaks down over time. Originally used in thermodynamics, most people know it from everyday occurrences in nature. Mountains get shorter, cliffs erode and dunes are slowly washed away.

Sometimes the combination of patterns creates a sort of emergent art piece, as colors and shapes are formed. Human beings have an amazing ability to find beauty in the most random collections of things, so it’s not surprising that many of these images were wildly popular on the net before being gathered here.

Queen Elizabeth I- had smallpox as a child and used white makeup to cover up the scarring. The concoction of the Venetian Ceruse she used contained lead, a poisonous heavy metal. This lead lead to hair loss, skin shedding and loss of cognitive abilities over time. Also cleaning off makeup was not a common practice. It is believed when she died, she had about an inch of the makeup caked on.

Other examples are more about satisfying human curiosity.

As Geoffrey Chaucer wrote, “Time and tide wait for no man,” which is a good lesson to remember, regardless of what you do, time will pass. An older form, “And te tide and te time þat tu iboren were, schal beon iblescet,” has been attributed to an 11th-century manuscript, but regardless of authorship, the idea stands. Most people prefer to not think too much about aging, but it’s unhealthy to deny the fact that we will age.

So the images here also can be seen as quasi-educational, showing precisely how time (and tides, for that matter) wear things down. If you start to look carefully, you’ll find examples in most parts of life, from paths etched through grass where people want to cut a corner, to certain buttons in elevators being pressed significantly more frequently.

Many of the examples here focus on paint, from graffiti to interior design. While each layer might seem tiny, just a millimeter thick, these pictures show just how quickly they add up. Jerry Seinfeld had a bit describing how repainting his apartment always made him nervous, as he could feel it “closing in” around him.

Seeing some of these images shows that in the long run, he is right. If a landlord (or series of landlords) are lazy enough, they will just paint over the previous layer, year by year. While this might actually help with insulation, the tenant is technically paying for a slowly shrinking apartment, which, at the very least, is an interesting metaphor for the housing crisis.

One other fringe benefit is it’s a good way to see what products and brands know how to pass the test of time. Sadly, a lot of modern products are woefully designed and break down after a few years, if not a few months of use. Lists like this help separate the actually quality items from cheap copies.

I got those too .... sure we wear them. Warm in winter, cool in summer. Quick to dry when wet. They can be used everywhere (though not in house i'd say) They are also approved safety wear so there are folks on all kinds of industries that use them on the job as well. They only time -i think- they suck are in the snow. They are warm enough, but the build-up under the sole is huge.

I believe that the Dutch version was originally intended to prevent foot injuries from being stepped on by milk cows. There is also a Danish version which are part leather with a steel toe. These are a general outdoor shoe, meant for getting dirty and for kicking rocks. When I was a kid, some other boys and I would get on the swings at the playground and see who could launch their clogs the farthest. Mine made it clear across the street and into someone's yard.

We used the danish clog, wood with the leather top, at hospitals , it is good to be able to step out of the clog without touching with hands, while standing in an operationroom for many hours, letting feet cool, or just changing stance. Easy to clean , but modern sportsandals are better - but offer no protection, not cleanable the same way.

This particular item is a year old. If you follow the link back to the original reddit post, it's not "abandoned", it's just been parked unused and neglected since 2014. It was registered nonoperational at that time. It looks like it was parked because it failed an emissions test, and the owner never got the money or the motivation to get it fixed. Something I can completely relate to.

The solution to plastic waste. Leave it exposed to the sun's radiation, eventually it crumbles to dust

The pic on reddit is bigger, you can read the text on the screen. Win 98 or 2000 machine, partner guesses 2000 because it's probably from an industrial terminal so likely running a server side OS. The burned in program is mentioning postal codes, from a post sorting office perhaps?

Yay, a Thor hammer. So named because they make your thumb thor when you hit it with them. I have a leather/copper one for the spinners (centre lock wheelnuts) on my classic car.

There's a bookstore in Brownwood, Texas which was a theater during WWII. Soldiers would come in to town, buy a ticket, and sleep. You can see a progression of head marks going up the wall.
