Best 10 Year Challenge Posts That Will Make You Laugh
Amazon Selling Coconut Shells
Back in 2009, coconuts were sold for as less as Rs 10-15. It’s a fact that living expenses have gone high, but how high have they gone? This post is coconuts (and also true)! The next time you plan on throwing away a coconut shell, you may want to think twice. Twitter was on a role when Amazon India listed a coconut shell priced at Rs 1,289. Yes, you read that right. And, what’s absolutely hilarious is the product description which reads – ‘This is an actual, real coconut. Therefore, it may have dents, cracks and imperfections.’ Sigh, if only we had known the value of coconut shells, we never would have tossed them in the trash.
Aunt May

Another funny picture that has emerged between the 10 year challenge posts is the evolution of Aunt May in the Spiderman movies. If you enjoy the Marvel movies or if you have seen all the Spiderman movies then you must have noticed how aunt May got younger with every movie. In fact, she got so young, that I don’t think it would be fair to call her aunt May anymore. What do you think?
Vijay Mallya

Among all the 10 year challenge post, another funny mention was Vijay Mallya. Back in 2009, we saw Mr Mallya enjoy a lavish lifestyle. But, fast forward 10 years and where is he today? Well, living a vanish lifestyle we suppose.
Best 10 Year Challenge Posts – Evolution of Technology
The one thing that has truly made a change in the last one decade is technology. It has evolved at a rapid pace. Back in 2009, none of us knew about selfie cameras, 8K televisions, smartphone gaming and so much more. And, in today’s time, we depend entirely on technology and all the gadgets around us. If you haven’t figured out the drastic evolution that technology has made in the last 10 years, then here’s a look!
Mobile phones: From small & block-like mobile phones with small displays and thick bezels in 2009, today we have punch hole display mobile phones that are thin, sleek and bezel-less.
Televisions: 2009 was the year when HD Televisions came to life in a full swing. Watching content in 1080 pixels (High Definition) was a trend back then. Now, we have Ultra HD 8K Televisions that offer four times greater resolution than a 4K TV. These televisions come with a total number of 33,177,600 pixels.
Laptops: Go back in time and you will remember that laptops were our everyday companions. However, laptops back in 2009 were bulky and not easy to carry around. On the other hand, current day touchscreen laptops are thin, sleek, flexible and easy to carry around.

Unlimited Data & Free Calling: Remember the time when giving missed calls was a trend because call charges were so high? All thanks to networks like Jio, Airtel & Vodafone, now we can talk for hours together without worrying about phone bills. Plus, the added benefit of unlimited data allows us to binge watch our favourite shows and movies.
Books: Reading was all about the feeling of handheld books until e-readers made an appearance. In 2019, a lot of people prefer e-books compared to actual books. Which one do you vouch for? E-books or handheld books?

If the last 10 years have caused such a drastic change, imagine what the next 10 years could do. People who have used this social media trend to talk about global warming are trying to pass on an important message that is slightly more important than selfies. Climate Change is real, and if we don’t do something about it, we are going to be in a big mess for real.
Syrian War

Among all the hilarious and self-transformation posts, there have also been posts about the Syrian war. The wall of fear in cities like Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Libya are at a peak. Cities standing tall and beautiful 10 years ago are only rubble today. War has never been the answer. And while we cannot do anything to change what’s happened, we can change to build a better feature. No words can define the heart-wrenching pain that looking at these pictures bring.
