Not my gameboy advance, I haven’t found that thing in over a decade.

Nah. Things deteriorate.

Given enough time it will be desintegrated by "random" events.

Example, I lost something in a volcano but the very volcano erupted and my thing was destroyed. After some billion years earth is eaten by the sun and the remaining molecules of the thing will be torn apart by it. The atoms that remain after that can even survive untill the black hole era but then they will converted to energy and swallowed by several black holes. Your thing stoped being that thing by the volcano event, you can't find it after that nor it's remains. If you think you still think you can, well then no one will survive the other events so your thing (what remains of it) isn't findable anymore because there is no one to find it. QED

I don't think I will ever find my potential again. If anyone has already found it then please use it is as you like.

What if you lose your phone in space and it’s traveling at 50,000m/s? That would be hard to find

"You know what I think? I think there's a big pile of things somewhere. I think there's a big constantly changing pile of things that are lost. You lose something, whoo-pop, it goes to the pile. And then you say, 'Oh look, there it is,' whoowhoowhoowhoowhoowhooph. Right back from the pile. And you didn't even know there was a pile."

Replying to Alfiy_wolf (#1,628,124)

It's not correct, it has never been correct, it will never be correct, and it is not even CLOSE to the correct way of using those words. How the fuck do so many people use 'of' instead of 'have'?

The worst part is that 90% of the time it's Americans making the mistake, whose native language is ENGLISH

Sorry to be a grammar nazi but it's literally the most nonsensical grammar issue of all time.

But not all of them can be identified, not even by the person who lost it, cause they can be destroyed, altered or turned into ashes. You may have just swallowed someone's love letter from 1000 years ago.
