16+ Worn Out Things That Time Did A Number On

To illustrate that, we have two Winnie the Pooh plushes that are both 20 years old. They started looking exactly the same but one of them has spent a hard life as someone's favorite toy in the time since.

The other one was apparently purchased as a back-up.

In this case, we can see that this person has worn their mouse down significantly after two years of use, while mine only looks a little grubby after the same period of time.

Is it because the side of mine was smooth to begin with or does it have more to do with the way we respectively use them? It's hard to tell.

So what happened to it? Apparently, the uploader's dad has been scraping the bottoms of pots and pans pretty hard while he's been cooking for the last 30 years.

And yes, I suppose that means his family's been eating tiny pieces of wood in that time.

We can still see that the old one's design was more inspired by feathers than plaid patterns but the uploader said it once had a bow as well.

With that in mind, I doubt the animal will spare the bow on the new one either.

And for that reason, he's been carrying this specific dollar bearing the face of the Statue of Liberty for over 50 years.

It's very faint but if you look closely, you can see that some of the outline around her face and crown remains.

As they explained, they first got it in high school and hang it on their belt every day.

Although the grip has smoothed out a lot in that time and they've had to replace the lens three times, it's staying by their side.

After it was passed down from multiple relatives, they've been using it to cut ropes for a few months. And although they've never sharpened it, it can apparently still cut with the best of them.

It seems like a reject from a candy factory but that's just what happens when the brittle ends on these things are subjected to decades of life on someone's keychain.

But considering how much hard work goes into running a farm, it's not terribly surprising that the equipment would get like this after a while.

Honestly, it's kind of amazing that the people working here were able to tolerate the fact that it was missing half its keys.

And I suppose that also speaks to how instantly recognizable George Washington is since the profiles of most other people would be totally obscured in this lighter's condition.

For instance, we can see that the brakes on this bike aren't anywhere close to the condition they used to be in.

That's simply too dangerous to ignore.

If you're wondering what this is, it's a sharpening stone that's been in use for the past five and a half years. It's positioned next to a new one for comparison's sake.

According to the uploader, it took seven years before that reckoning finally came and we can definitely see that in the bristles of that old brush.

This picture also makes me realize I've never owned much leather furniture since I'm only guessing the butt friction made the outer layer wear away.

Otherwise, I'd know that from experience.

Because we're not just seeing the leather wear away in this case. We're seeing the insides of this chair start to get exposed.

I wonder how long it'll last from here?

And it's kind of funny that somebody named this bike "Sun" since that's the main culprit for why it now looks the way it does.

For instance, the groove around this reception desk shows an outline traced beneath the counter.

From that, we can see that hundreds of people came up to the receptionist head-on and were directed to that slot on the left.

Apparently, the wind has spent years bashing it into the railing of this deck, which has worn some pretty gnarly grooves into the trunk.

I've said before that some wear and tear can be signs of common behavior but this is an interesting variation in that it's a sign of their capabilities.

With that in mind, it must feel pretty special to be the kid who makes it all the way to the end.
