16+ Pics Showing How Time Can Break Down Just About Anything

However, it seems we shouldn't be surprised if this new belt ages a little better because they wrote that the first belt deteriorated as much as it did because they never oiled or conditioned the leather in it.

From the looks of it, it's probably about time for this post to retire because I can't see it lasting too much longer.

That slightly darker wood almost seems like an aesthetic improvement but it was likely much clearer as to what was going on when the finish started to come off.

I'm guessing this patch is near the oven?

Due to how well the red star seemed to hold up, it's definitely understandable if you think someone put a new, white hat next to this green one.

But if you look closely, you can see some slight fading on the star on the left and confirm what happened here.

Even if they laid it out in the open, I'd say it would be more likely to get lost than turn out like this.

Did someone dangle it over a lighter or something?

We can see that this date took place almost 20 years ago but there's no indication remaining that the key chain was once black.

After all, time seems to tick even faster for stuff like this when we wear them every day. That's why my shoes never seemed to last long as a kid.

I suppose six years of shifting in and out of this seat would be enough to make these grooves in the floor but maybe some frustrated rocking helped as well.

That black footprint shows the result of hundreds of pitchers planting one foot in that spot, while the more formless groove indicates all the ways their other foot has scraped it as the pitchers wound up.

It also makes it very clear just how popular this vehicle design is in this city as these grooves were all created with similar kickstands.

Apparently, this indicates how worn down the panel became after about 7,000 hours of use. This translates to about nine-and-a-half months.

Apparently, the uploader spins them around and generally fidgets with them to soothe their anxiety.

They also said they're looking forward to breaking the new ones in so it may not be so long before these two sets start looking similar.

However, only one of them would end up hanging from the uploader's rear view mirror and soaking up the California sun for three years.

Ir's shouldn't be hard to guess which one.

From the looks of it, they weren't too rough on the left figure of Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon but he seems to live up to his name now.

Also, I regret to inform you that yes, the first movie in that series came out 10 years ago. I know, I feel old as well.

It's unclear how long this person has been wearing this Spongebob shirt but it's apparently long enough that I didn't even recognize it as such.

I get it, though. I have a Bart Simpson shirt that's kind of like this.

After all, those grooves formed by the keys swinging back and forth don't just appear overnight. That's a lot of scraping.

The uploader said this pantry door was white "at some point" and I guess it's fair to say that part of it still is. The rest is definitely taking on a distinctive yellow, though.

That's especially true considering that its wearer revealed the belt had been in use for the past nine years. May it rest in peace.

Not only would all of this gunk have ended up in the welder's lungs rather than the filter but this was apparently the result of only a month of work.

As one commenter put it, regardless of what it was originally made for, it's basically a filet knife now. I wouldn't be surprised if it's still in use, though.
