This Group Shames People Who Had Dumb Opinions, Here Are The 50 Most Unhinged (New Pics)
Social media gave laypeople a platform to make their voices heard, for better or worse. It empowered those with something valuable to say and, unfortunately, those who eventually proved they were filled with nothing but hot air.
Take these people shamed by the “Hot Takes Nobody Asked For” Facebook page as an example. It’s the typical “bold statement” you read on microblogging sites or comment boxes.
They’re often baseless, arrogant remarks of warped hubris that make no sense at all, making them laughable to a point of entertainment. Scroll through to see what we mean.

PBS is too "woke". Teaching kids how to count, do their alphabet, and be nice to each other is woke?

I think they mean physical knobs, not the touch sensitive buttons that you need your glasses to find and then take your eyes off the road to change settings.
Experts refer to these opinions as a product of “belief superiority.” In their 2018 paper published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers Michael Hall and Kaitlin Raimi defined it as the mindset of thinking your opinion is far superior to other people’s.
In their study, Hall and Raimi gathered participants who felt their beliefs on controversial topics such as wealth distribution and civil liberties were superior. The pair used multiple-choice quizzes as their gauge.

Sadly my ex had a workmate who was a N enthusiast and collector and said he was gonna go. I did however did a polar opposite of this post at one event he hosted came (one time) and I tried on some of the jackets and held one of their guns and tried on a hat, it’s funny cos their relics are nothing but antique junk and my people (who they tried so hard to get rid of) are here and I’m here wearing their ugly shìt and the bittersweet irony is crazy. Then he found out I was east Europe Jew gypsý😂 he was not happy
Hall and Raimi conducted five studies and found that their subjects with the highest belief superiority also had the widest disparity between their perceived and actual knowledge. At the same time, they still had a misguided notion that they were better informed than they were before undergoing the experiment.
Here’s what’s interesting, though: Hall and Raimi also discovered that feedback can deflate belief superiority. After participants received constructive criticism, they reduced their belief superiority and sought out more challenging information they may have previously neglected.

People in China don't love their government, they just have to put up with it.
Confirmation bias also plays a significant role in influencing “hot takes.” As Ph.d researcher Rebecca Dolgin points out, talking to other people who share our beliefs leaves us more convinced that we are correct, even though it couldn’t be any further from the truth.
“When others disagree, we rationalize that we are seeing things clearly, and they are somehow ill-informed, biased, or illogical,” Dolgin stated.

It also doesn’t help that many people get their information from social media, regardless of the authenticity of the source. To put that in context, a 2024 survey by Pew Research Center found that 54% of American adults claim they “at least sometimes” use social media as their news source.
A more alarming statistic is that a third of Americans say they “regularly” gather their news from social media sites, with Instagram being the biggest source at 20%. TikTok comes in second place with 17%, followed by Twitter with 12%.

So, how do we avoid being the l*****c with the crazy, hot takes? Sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower says it all comes down to emotional regulation. She advises avoiding information that could make you unhappy or threaten your well-being, while challenging yourself with new information that isn’t tied to your beliefs.
“You can grow through seeking information regarding topics you’re less knowledgeable about or which are new to you,” Dr. Brower writes, adding that avoiding echo chambers created by algorithms is also necessary to broaden your view of the world.

The law on "offensive weapons" in the UK is pretty sensible. If I'm driving in my van with these tools, and many more dangerous, axes, chainsaw etc. I am using them for work, most reasonable people would see that they are not offensive weapons. If some teen is standing on a street corner at 1am with a sharpened screwdriver, he can't pretend he was going to change a plug. Most reasonable people would say he had it as a weapon.

Five bucks says it's a parody account, or more likely, a very bad attempt at trying to seem relevant. Not unlike the "Hello fellow teens" meme.

I still call the rice Uncle Ben's rather than whatever it's called these days. Because god forbid a product carrying the picture of a successful coloured person (even if it's a fictional person).

You need to reverse that. Women will stay, men will leave. I'm sure some women fit that comment, but not many. Besides, if you want to look, most 'single women parents' are in a marriage

"A 31-year-old woman is the equivalent of a 58-year-old man when it comes to nature's scorecard. Thi is not about emotions or modern narratives. It is about time, biology, and what instinct still values. After 19, a woman's physical peak begins to soften. The firmness, glow, and youthful essence begin to slip away each year. Only the delusional deny this reality. No matter the lighting, no matter the filter, the truth always shows up in real life. High-value men know what time takes, and they do not want to miss the narrow window of peak beauty and peak spirit. That phase holds not just physical youth, but a mental brightness, a jolly energy, a natural feminine enthusiasm that slowly fades with age and experience. By 25, most women are well past the peak, they can sense the rapid drop of firmness, elasticity, the lose feminine spark in their being and movement and in mindset, which happens faster when you're a devoid of tradition woman indulging in escpaism in the modern west. Their spirit is gone fast. Too old to mold. Men like DiCaprio with immense real experience, understand this instinctively. He knows the finer details that no amount of makeup, skincare, filters or illusions shows can hide.
Men, when they live with discipline, tend to grow in value. They have time. Women, even healthy ones, see fertility shift by 27, something not true for real men even in their 60s or so. This is not cruel. It is nature's pattern. Pretending it is not real might comfort some, but it does not change the rules. Time moves forward, and value shifts with it"

I really hope that one day we can all choose peace and admit that every relationship is different and that every couple has its own way. Monogamy, open relationships, polyamorous couples... Let's not put one kind of relationship above the others because they all are great.

"In November 2023, Gaines confirmed working with FIDE to prevent transgender women from playing in women's chess. This prompted criticism from PinkNews for claiming that trans women had an advantage at chess." As a cisgender woman, I am ashamed of Riley Gaines.

Well it implies she's quite strong on her own and I'm not sure that the fragile male ego could cope with that.
