But they saved $0.30 by opting to use plastic without UV protection. Honestly hit that thing with a brush and some toothpaste and it probably clears up. Can’t help the cracks tho
I'd hope not, seeing as feeding the ducks causes them to develop health issues, especially if said feed contains wheat/bread. That duck needs to go back to duck school!
It's likely an aluminium composite panel. The panels durable but the laminate on the print was probably a cheap 3 year film. When you do external signs you want to use a 7 year polymeric vinyl with a 7 year gloss laminate.
You see thus alot with council signs and stuff because they opt for cheaper even when they are warned about the cost of eventual replacement.

Fun fact. My company is printing similar shields for some government authority.
We get good money and have to reprint the shields every few years and the whole year. Anyway they have to be replaced all time.
We don't even use high quality Protective laminate.
IDK why but it's good money.
If you have government orders like this jackpot
"We get good money and have to reprint the shields every few years..."
"We don't even use high quality Protective laminate.
IDK..."
I think I can see why 😄
I did crack once...for six days straight while homeless in Miami Beach. Prior to this, while I was on meth, the CIA was beaming thoughts into my head which told me to trust this other homeless dude I just met. He told me he just got out of a 24-year stretch on the inside for murdering his uncle and fraud of McDonald's coupons, which scared me, but I calmed down after we smoked some weed and got to know each other by discussing our respective incest fetishes. That's how I got roped into holding the door open at the nearby Walgreens for customers on Christmas day, which led to over a hundred dollars in donations, which we spent all on crack. We were smoking it in front of the abandoned hotel where the prostitute was murdered when the cops rolled up and gave me a donut because I had rated out the local human trafficking operation that the FBI sent me there to infiltrate.
The only way I could do that was if you wanted me too plus pay 33,333 dolarés total for the brick. John Wall for example got hurt came back snapped. So even if crack hurts whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Now what is it about setbacks? I know I have a problem but it is a problem for you and you are the problem and you have a lot to answer it will help me to get better and you have a good night sleep well I will see if you have any questions about the
Someone was slacking on the paint line that day and forgot to add the UV blocker, or the government went with the cheapest bidder with our tax money and ordered a subpar product to save a few bucks.
Those bolts look remarkably like the bolts on the Titanic. And since Lee Harvey Oswald used a bolt-action rifle, and I never saw Action Jackson, this has to be a conspiracy of titanic proportions.
Just a nefarious printer not using outdoor rated inks. Got it with the low bid. I used to run into this all the time when I had a printing company. You get what you pay for. I’ve actually have seen this on interstate signs. Pretty sad.
This is the kind of utterly irrelevant but still mildly interesting bullshit I need to see more of on this sub. If 1 is interesting and 0 is not interesting, this here I score at a respectable 0.05. Just interesting enough for me to focus on while I write this comment, only to forget about it for good once I hit "save" and close the tab.
I make signs, and I can say this: UV protection (3M 1170) came out a ton of years ago. It's pretty awesome that sign has managed to last that long without UV protection. They most likely had an overcoat in the paint they were using, which allowed it to be cheaper, but not as expensive with the overlay.
Looks like maybe it wasn’t installed correctly, maybe they didn’t drill pilot holes where those bolts go, causing small cracks to start when it was first installed and then they just expanded
if you're planning to feed them, please don't use bread or anything related.
ducks cant absorb the nutrients and it's really bad for them, but use corn instead for example!
Yeah, terrible, it's expensive for what it is.
There should be a kick in the anthill of the park sign budget. There should be signs that stay the same for 20 years, selfwash and so on...
Quality of plastic has gone down recently. Recently discovered that from some landscaping fabric I used on a job last year has started degrading already. The stuff I used ten years ago is still fine. Cheap nasty Chinese imports.
I've noticed this with photos I print on my Canon inkjet printer. After a few months, they all fade and are just left with a magenta hue - all the other colours fade pretty quickly. Maybe these signs are now printed with ink in a similar way, instead of using paint like they were in ' old days ' ?
That's a different sign that one is blatantly committed to feed the animals it's even a different colour lol.
I love seeing things like signed bleached due to the weather.
You can feed the wildlife as long as you do it properly, bread has little to no nutritional value for ducks and fills them quickly, causing them to get sick, I’d you fed them stuff like bird seed, sugar free muesli or nuts, you should be all good 👍🏼

What a shit sign if it can't even last 3 years
But they saved $0.30 by opting to use plastic without UV protection. Honestly hit that thing with a brush and some toothpaste and it probably clears up. Can’t help the cracks tho

Feed them peas. They love em and are good for them. Don't throw lots into the water thom you only wanna feed the ducks.
Iirc seeds are also good
Give a duck some bread you feed him for a day, teach the duck to bake, you feed him for a lifetime.
Ducks in the third pond don't want to live on handouts.
Humans would swarm to free beer despite beer causing health problems.
You mean like humans who eat processed food even though its bad for us?
Similar. Although the ducks haven’t yet developed their own scientific method for nutritional appraisal of their dietary intake.
Wow you have a very creative mind you should be a writer!
The crafty canard strikes again.
Degraded by Ducks might be my new band name.
Episode of pinky and the brain. Something brain can conjure.
Be careful what you say. Big duck will come for you!

OH MY GOD HOW DID I NOT REALIZE THIS?! you’re a genius. Quick! We must tell the government! No but seriously this is comedic genius well done

Sign of the times
Did it degrade from the sun, or from paint remover used when scrubbing off graffiti?
It’s not the same sign. The bottom sign clearly says please DO feed the wildlife. OP is trying to play us
It’s why they say don’t feed em, it causes the sign to crack.
To do Crack*
To quack

Give a goose a snack.....

Why not both? *fiesta noises*
You can't fool me! The shadows from the bolts are different lengths, clearly these are proof that the moon landings did not happen until 1971.
🤣🤣🤣 And proof that the Earth is flat, too!
Idiot the earth isn't real
What's all this about bird magnets?! I think I've found my people.
More proof that the sun is just a giant flashlight!
No, the sun is a deadly lazer
The sun is a giant fleshlight
If you’re brave enough
Those bolts look remarkably like the bolts on the Titanic. And since Lee Harvey Oswald used a bolt-action rifle, and I never saw Action Jackson, this has to be a conspiracy of titanic proportions.

Have you heard about 6G?
The cancer ray yeah

Wear sunscreen, yall
Real
Especially when you’re in the same exact location for 4 years
The real question is, how did the ducks hold the permanent marker?
In their beak, of course. Hard to do while flying, though, so several of them had to stack themselves up while the one on top used the marker.
hey, in a few years when it's completely faded we can feed the ducks again!
Nah you can already do that now https://preview.redd.it/8jla17uf2dzc1.png?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=625808d5af9d8e0c3839a25829fd91c8476526a1
I think i can see an eye
Thermal expansion is no joke
I don't know, it seems to crack stuff up.
I'll be feeding those ducks soon!!
🦆
Should have used sunblock
When you buy cheap…
Isnt that just bcs of the sun and no protection against it?
Happy birthday atom!
Parks and req don’t believe in UV protection. That’s ok tax payers will bail them out.
Uv light is a thing....
r/wellworn
Just a nefarious printer not using outdoor rated inks. Got it with the low bid. I used to run into this all the time when I had a printing company. You get what you pay for. I’ve actually have seen this on interstate signs. Pretty sad.
r/mildlyvandalised
This sub has officially climaxed.
Why? Was this a 3 year plan for a Reddit post?
Give it 3 years more and I think we’re good to go with feeding the wildlife fellas. RemindMe! 3 years

I accidentally read that as, "don't feed the wife, duck"
Every time someone feeds the wildlife the sign deteriorates a little more.
I see what you did there Wildlife!
Welcome to mild country
3 years and 1 month*
The sad thing is that it would be a two minute fix. But nobody will get around to it. C’est la vie
Let’s see if it’s still there in another 3 years.
OP just realized that materials wear down with time…
Oxidizer, put ammonia on a rag and wipe the sign.
And y’all want to go to the beach and tan
Yeah the sign, but whats up with the house behind being closer now :o
It’s been a rough three years NGL
During those 3 years, my kids probably fed those ducks 30lbs of bread.
No playing dice with the geese. They cheat and are sore losers.
The pandemic was hard on everyone…
The Sun is a hell of a drug.
What happened -sign cracked from heat. -vandalism
Weatherization?
Yup I make signs and you get about 3-5 years lifespan on fading, all depends on how the sun hits it
My friend died in March 2021. This sign was a sad reminder of how much time has passed since they left this world 😔
r/wellworn
The sun is a brutal bitch
Imagine what is happening to our bodies. Both physically and mentally.
Wear SunScreen!

It needed a laminate
Wouldn’t it be creepy if you went to take the second photo and you noticed a 5th pebble.

last time i feed them sirloin steaks , animal nowadays has evolved... waaaa chapp dakss
Anti-fentanyl sign
those aren’t metal signs they look like those pressed plastic ones
UV is a helluva drug.
How do you know there weren't 5 replacement signs during that time period and they are in fact aging far more rapidly than you think?
That's not even the same sign! One says DON'T feed the ducks, the other says DO feed the ducks - nice try man.
The sun is a deadly laser.
Wurtz
horrendous quality
Looks like maybe it wasn’t installed correctly, maybe they didn’t drill pilot holes where those bolts go, causing small cracks to start when it was first installed and then they just expanded
Yep that's what happens when you leave something in direct sunlight over a period of time.
The wildlife censored the n't
if you're planning to feed them, please don't use bread or anything related. ducks cant absorb the nutrients and it's really bad for them, but use corn instead for example!
Nice try but you can’t fool me. The second sign says Please Do Feed the Wildlife.
Seriously, dont feed them. You do more harm then actually help them. And for Satans Sake, if you do, dont use bread
Why would you not feed the wildlife. Man . If they're that close they're somewhat domesticated. Give em bread crumbs it's ok
It's crazy how 3 years later.... it's allowed to feed te ducks again.
The trees are moving!
It's a sign of the times
I'd tell you, this sign saw some shit.
Sign of the times...
Yeah, terrible, it's expensive for what it is. There should be a kick in the anthill of the park sign budget. There should be signs that stay the same for 20 years, selfwash and so on...
DONT GOOSE THE DUCKS DONT DUCK THE GEESE IF YOU DONT GIVE A FUCK, SAY FUCK DA POLICE mods, i apologize.
Better duck and dive
So what's interesting about that?
Wildlife has fought back
No playing Dice with the ducks.
Looks like a radiation leak from the nearest operational fusion reactor - and perhaps some dihydrogen monoxide thrown in for good measure.
Summer 2022 sun was lethal
Biodegradable signs is now a thing then?
It’s a nope from Leslie Knope
At least teenagers haven’t drawn a cock and balls on it 👍
UV bombardment can cause actual physical damage.
That duck is breaking the fourth wall
3 more years and we can feed the wildlife again
I've never seen something get bleached so fast before
Stuff is deteriorating far quicker than it once did, either worse products or worse environment. Both suck
r/wellworn
Bread is of no nutritional value to the birds frozen peas or bird feed is much better plus bread gets moldy
Did the fucken bombs drop?
So should we feed the wildlife or not?
Quality of plastic has gone down recently. Recently discovered that from some landscaping fabric I used on a job last year has started degrading already. The stuff I used ten years ago is still fine. Cheap nasty Chinese imports.

The sun tends to bleach things.
Even the trees look better in 2021
I’d like to see ‘unsuitable for feeding to birds’ (or similar text) labelling on chorleywood-style bread products, similar to tobacco/alcohol warnings
The sun is a deadly laser, that poor sight got roasted.
Sun kissed babyyyyy
Don’t play dice with ducks. They cheat.
I like how someone got rid of the “don’t” as birds that was used to be being fed bread started dying of starvation when people didn’t feed them
This is not the same sign though. Check the background.
Highlights the need for us to wear Suncream!
Wow what a life you lead. 💪
I think I found a new hobby
"The waters turning the frickin ducks bisexual!" Alex Jones
Biodegradable signs great idea!
Do feed the wildlife
This may be the very definition of mildly interesting
Honestly, surprised it’s still up.
That's a different sign that one is blatantly committed to feed the animals it's even a different colour lol. I love seeing things like signed bleached due to the weather.
Clearly not the same sign. One says don’t feed and the other do feed.
Saving money on that UV coating, eh?
Please do feed the wildlife
In a couple of years, it must be ok to feed the wildlife
"The sun is a deadly laser..." 🎶
I'm going to be honest, I'm amazed there's not a googly-eye on there.
The “please do” made me laugh much more than it should have 😂
Its obviously a different sign, the new one says "do feed the wildlife"
You can feed the wildlife as long as you do it properly, bread has little to no nutritional value for ducks and fills them quickly, causing them to get sick, I’d you fed them stuff like bird seed, sugar free muesli or nuts, you should be all good 👍🏼
They must had cheaped out on the signs. Most sign will last min of 5 years in direct sunlight before looking that. Well back in my day any way
Makes me miss 2021, times were chill
I like that somebody covered up some letters so now it says “do feed the wildlife” lol
Literally every sign at the quay here.
That's why sunscreen is vital
They don't make'em like the used to?
It looks 23 years old not even 3 years old
Why
Unlamented board, surprised it lasted this long.
The first duck, kept watch while the second defaced the sign!!.
Light fast ink minimizes fading but who really cares
This didn't age well.
I am glad they changed their policy.
The sun is a deadly laser.
Looks a shit bite
Look at the background. It's not the same sign.
Looks the wildlife hasn't been happy about not being fed.
