21 Shocking Posts That Aged So Poorly, Looking At Them Now Will Make Your Skin Crawl
Everything can change in a second.
It's truly amazing how our feelings about certain images, facts, and moments in general can change so quickly. All it takes is the flip of a switch (aka a problematic moment) for our perceptions to shift.

Here are 21 posts that really encapsulate the "that did not age well" feeling:
1. We'll start with a recent glass of curdled milk, aka everything to do with Will Smith and Chris Rock at the Oscars this year:
2. This selfie is definitely not the blueprint for "iconic Oscars moments" anymore:
Yeah, one. from agedlikemilk
3. Neither is the Moonlight/La La Land debacle of 2017:
You know, when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty accidentally announced La La Land as the best picture winner, when it was actually Moonlight.
4. That laugh that Will Smith had before he noticed Jada's displeased expression after Chris Rock told the G.I. Jane joke? Didn't age well at all:
5. Onto the next: This person calling someone a "troll" for warning them not to go to Ukraine mere days before Russia invaded...for sure didn't age well:
6. This senator's stance against pasteurized milk aged very, very badly — just like the milk in his belly:
7. This person's Facebook status predicting the decline of Spotify is REAL funny now:
Spotify currently has 406 million users. Rdio was discontinued in December 2015
8. Jussie Smollett's tweet throwing shade at "liars" in 2010 is a lot to process, knowing that nine years later he lied about being the victim of a hate crime:
In March of this year, he was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the crime.
9. This article that was posted a few days before the announcement that Bruce Willis was stepping away from acting due to aphasia — a condition that affects someone's ability to speak or communicate — is super rough:
10. After learning about the 14-year-old who fell to their death from a ride at ICON Park this month, seeing the theme park's pun about "falling" is extremely off-putting:
11. This Sports Illustrated cover story about Tom Brady retiring really hits different these days:
In early March, he announced that he won't be retiring after all.
12. This prediction about gas prices in the US being below $3/gallon in 2022 really fell flat:
13. Gotta love seeing false advertising like this in these dark times:
14. This old article that referred to Prince Andrew as "Randy Andy" is now EXTREMELY creepy, considering everything that's been in the news about him:
Prince Andrew recently reached a financial settlement with Virginia Giuffre, a woman who accused him of raping her when she was a teenager. The two met through the infamous sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.
15. Speaking of old British articles that are a disturbing present-day read:
16. Nike's ad comparing Oscar Pistorius to a bullet doesn't sit well at all:
Oscar Pistorius — a double-amputee sprinter who competed against able-bodied athletes in the 2012 summer Olympics — was convicted of murdering his girlfriend with a gun on Valentine's Day of 2013.
17. Considering everything that's going on in Ukraine, this 2022 calendar labeling Putin as a "peacemaker" is pretty obscene:
Russia is currently invading Ukraine, by the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
18. In 2017, Netflix stated on their Twitter account that "Love is sharing a password." Kind of ironic that the company is now testing a feature that enforces users to not share their account password outside of their household.
19. This poor guy is now feeling majorly embarrassed by the simp meme he created a year ago:
20. This person's joke about having cancer is now really, really sad:
21. And finally, Arnold Schwarzenegger told The Independent in 2019 that O. J. Simpson was an original casting consideration for The Terminator (1984), but James Cameron didn't think he would be believable as a "killing machine." Major yikes.
In 1994, O. J. Simpson was accused of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
