18 Good Examples of Time Changing Things Beyond Recognition

Everyone knows that time and circumstances can leave a noticeable mark on any object. But these changes are not always easy to spot right away, especially when you see something every day. But it feels completely different when you look at something old and something new side by side. For example, a new teddy bear vs a 27-year-old one.

We at CHEERY looked at these photos, and they made us realize how merciless time is. By the way, it works the same with animals, and there’s proof at the end of this article.

“The owner of the car was parked here for more than 2 years, since he didn’t want anyone to park in front of his house, but he recently moved it and this is how it looks now.”
