hey guys what's up it's Charlie here today we're going to be looking at 10
unbelievable examples of things being worn down over time we're used to things
like pencils and pen knife swearing down but here are some seriously mind-blowing
examples of things wearing down from the saddest bike in the world to a
barbershop with the most loyal staff ever but just before we get started why
not subscribe and press the notification bell - coming in at number 10 we have
coca-cola we all know that one material that can wear down a lot is metal
if you've ever left tools or a bicycle out in the rain for a while you'll know
they got all rusty well in this instance one half of a coca-cola cans exposed to
the elements while the other half was not you see a man in the US left a coke
can in the cup holder of his outdoor seat this was at his summer house which
he didn't visit for two years two years later when he returned he found his coke
cans still in the cup holder however half of it have been totally worn away
while the other half was fine the bottom half was protected by the cup holder
however all the colour had been drained from the top by the rain snow and Sun it
looks like someone's taken all the color out of this in Photoshop but no it's all
natural this really does show the power of nature next up is footprints monks
are known for doing amazing things but one famous trait of a monk is being
incredibly disciplined well one monk has been praying in the
exact same spot of a chapel for decades for about forty years the monk would
sound and pray there and always stood in the same spot now amongst pray for hours
every day so after 40 years of doing this his feets become worn into the
ground the wooden ground has been warped by his
feet being there for so much time and for so long this is really incredible
and definitely proves the dedication of this monk
next up is barber shop all guys go to barber shops from time to time to get
their hair cut well unless you're bald but the point is barber shops are pretty
much always open and busy maybe wondering what could be worn down at a
barber shop chairs scissors razors well what about the ground barbers just walk
in semi circles around people's heads all day well over time at this barber
shop in the USA the floors faded into perfect semi circles around the barber
chairs and no the employees did not walk in bleach on their way into work this is
simply the result of the hours and hours to the barber spend walking around
people's heads and cutting their hair next up is peddled
if any of you ride a bike to school or work then I'm sure you park your bike up
in the same place each day well one guy who's taking this
bike to work for over 20 years always looked it up in the same spot every
morning he leans tunne wall with one of his bikes pedals touching the corner of
the wall as I said he's done this for decades and it's been this way for so
long that walls curved around his bikes pedal even when he gets a new bike his
pedal always rests in that same spot it's now a perfect fit and apparently
he's pretty much able to lean his bike just using the indent in the wall it's
amazing that metal and plastic can wear down brick but over time I guess
anything is possible next up is brick wall
now the brick wall we saw before had a big chunk taken out of it but this brick
wall has been totally annihilated by one of the things best known for wearing
things down that is of course this C the C is the most famous thing that wears
stuff down for example rocks which gradually turned into sand on the
beaches well a while back a brick wall was built on a stony Beach most of it
was knocked down however some was left up well here is that wall today as you
can see it looks like it's been run over by a monster truck as it's totally
squashed the wall is even being warped around the rocks underneath it making it
look like a wobbly water bed this just goes to show the power of the sea next
up is dirty building one thing we know about cities is that they are dirty
places most cities have a lot of traffic and pollution which isn't visibly seen
but can do a lot of harm well here is one example where you can see the damage
pollution does to us one day an apartment complex was being cleaned in
the big city it hadn't been cleaned in over 40 years and locals thought the
bricks it was made with were black to begin with but as the cleaners began to
powerwash the bricks they turn back to their original yellow color it's
astonishing how dirty something like a building can get but with all the fumes
and pollution in a city this is common this is not only amazing but also kind
of nasty to think this building was so dirty next up is bicycle so we've seen a
bicycle pellets now how about a bike being worn down but with an amazing and
heartbreaking story shortly before World War two a Polish boy who was 17 Potter's
bike up by a tree and went off to become a soldier however as we all know Poland
was devastated by Germany and the boy never returns however his bike leaning
by the tree remained untouched when he put his bike by the tree it was young
but it had since grown into a full-sized tree and amazingly his bike has grown
into the tree as you can see the tree is adapted to the bike and it now serves as
a reminder of the terrible reality of war this is by far the saddest
of things being worn down on this list next up is Bank one thing we all hate is
the line of the bank it takes forever and it's almost a joke how much time
people spend waiting in line at the bank if you're one of those people who claim
to never have to wait long at the bank then take a look at this picture as you
can see the places where people's feet have been standing or waiting it being
walled down and to know this wasn't just one really fat guy busting the floor
every single register has these marks this was taken at a very old Bank which
has have millions of people waiting for millions of hours over many many years
which example of feet wear and gown it's the most amazing this one or the monk
one next up we have hands all day just something we all have to face we all
know that time flies but sometimes we can forget well this image is a visual
reminder of just how much we change over time one woman put her hands next to her
elderly mother's hands and created a very heartwarming image as you can see
her hands clearing young however this contrasts greatly with her old mother's
hands which were worn down veiny and wrinkly it really does show just how
much our bodies change as we get older and scarily just how fast this can
happen without us realizing next up is cat scratch one families had a cat for
around ten years they've always kept its water and food balls under the same
bench inside their home however as cats do their cat began scratching at the leg
of this bench and after around a decade of this here is the results as you can
see there's almost nothing left with the wood the cat is scratched at four hours
a day for years and years in the woods simply gone people worry about termite
infestations but maybe they should watch out for their own feline friends too if

social media links in the description and be sure to check out the poll on the
