Poorly Aged Posts That Are Filled With Regret

We all know that hindsight is 20/20. That definitely applies to the year 2020, too. But today we're talking about a special kind of hindsight and regret. We've all seen that tweet from Hillary Clinton where she says "Happy birthday to this future President." Well, things didn't really go as planned. Today we're here to cover some of the regretful and poorly aged posts that you may not have seen plastered over the internet. You know, posts regarding the horrendous winter storm that struck America's heartland this week. Or, perhaps, posts that deal with some woefully ignorant Bitcoin owners who sold themselves short years ago.

Most of these regrettable situations and posts are pretty harmless. But they're a great reminder that you really need to try to think to the future before getting your hopes up - or your hopes lost. One thing's for sure, it always helps to laugh through the pain.

This gem has aged especially poorly as millions of people in America's heartland (and especially Texas) are suffering and without power thanks to the deadly Winter Storm Uri.

This one is extra dusty.

For all the Zoomers who were too young to experience it, Google+ was an arguably pointless social media platform that launched in 2011. While people were initially excited about Google's answer to Facebook, enthusiasm quickly dwindled. It's actually incredible that Google+ hung on until its 2019 shutdown. RIP.

Do you remember the Ouya?

This massive failure of a console was released in June 2013. It was discontinued just over two years later. Maybe the world wasn't ready for it. We might never really know.

Who is going to tell him?

The pot calling the kettle black.

Though it may be a publicity stunt (It's James Charles, after all,) the Instagram celebrity is sporting an extremely bald look these days.

Not so fast.

While escaping the gaping maw of the Sarlacc seems like an impossible feat, true heads (and Mandalorian fans) know that Boba Fett survived his near-death tumble.

MMmhmm.

For those of you that might be unaware, Myanmar's military staged a coup earlier this month - and some of it was captured in the background this dance instructor's viral video.

He's out! And we're happy for him.

Yikes.

While this article could be a response to Armie Hammer's recent freaky cannibalistic/emotional abuse saga, it's actually a joke from 2018. A joke that has kind of lost its punch this year.

Hope these "losers" didn't sell.

Their prize would is worth almost a million dollars today.
