One “fantastic” part of the internet is the fact that you can, at any time, see some of the worst opinions available to humankind. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but some folks really insist on takes so scorchingly untouchable that they almost become entertaining.
The “Hot Take Nobody Asked For” Facebook page is dedicated to sharing and shaming people who had strong, controversial opinions that really went nowhere. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorite examples and be sure to add your own thoughts below.

I mean, there's a bit of truth to each of these statements. Twitter crashes like most websites every once in awhile. The stock market isn't at its highest (there was a small dip a few weeks ago).

Thanks for the context. I knew it wasn't "official" of course, just didn't know the rest.
Load More Replies...Some people insist on posting hot takes to the internet, even when their opinions might seem ill-informed or downright dumb, because the thrill of instant attention and validation often outweighs the need for careful thought. In an age of social media where reaction and engagement are currency, a controversial or off-the-cuff remark can quickly garner likes, shares, and heated debates, making it seem like a shortcut to popularity.
For many, the rush of being noticed in a crowded digital space is enough to push them to share opinions without fully considering the consequences or the nuances of the topic. After all, no such thing as bad publicity, unfortunately.
No, This Is Not Community Service

The Person Replying Better Not Be Upset About The Gulf Of America Then
They could call us "the United" but these days that's a reach.
As a Canadian I assure you that we don't care. They shortened the United States of America to America. What else should they call themselves? United Statesians? It's not like we have some sort of continental pride but can't use the term American because US uses it. You'll never hear a Canadian refer to themselves as North American. I can't speak for the rest of the Americas but I would suspect they feel similarly.
Thank you, Dan. I often have to explain this to people. When we say we're Americans, we're not talking in the continental sense.
Load More Replies...I get the point and don't necessarily disagree, but what would be the alternative? US-er? Statian? It's not like Canadian or Mexican, where it rolls easily.
That's the thing, they don't have a legitimate alternative. They get just as mad if we identify by US state instead of by country, even if the state is physically larger and more populous than their country (mine's not/I don't).

I Don't Think She Realizes That Nobody In America Cares
If you saw Jon Stewarts interview with Carney. You know why.. He explained why Canada didn't get financially trashed in '07/'08..."we did monetary policy we understood".

So an American is commenting on how bad their situation is and blames it on a Canadian? She needs to look closer to home.
I don't think her comment should be interpreted in that way. I think it's more like "Trump doesn't realise what he has gotten the US into by starting a trade war with Canada."
Load More Replies...At its core, the urge to post hot takes is tied to the desire for immediate recognition and a sense of superiority, even if it means sacrificing depth for the sake of a viral moment. Some individuals thrive on the adrenaline of sparking outrage or eliciting strong emotional responses, regardless of whether their ideas hold up under scrutiny. In a culture that often rewards soundbites and sensationalism, well-thought-out arguments can be overshadowed by those that simply grab attention by any means necessary.

Matt Walsh Of The Daily Wire Is Really Not The Brightest Star In The Sky. The Ozone Was Indeed Depleting And It Was A Legitimate Concern. It Turned Out That A Major Cause Of This Was Cfc's. The Use Of Cfc's Was Then Heavily Reduced And Things Got Significantly Better
This level of stupidity never ceases to amaze me. They'll say that the government forced them to have vaccines to prevent massive outbreaks of measles or polio and they had the vaccines but then there were no massive outbreaks, so therefore the vaccines were a waste of time. So close to understanding then they veer off right at the end.

Load More Replies...The earth has already endured two ice ages and the current state of Arizona used to be underwater as part of the Western Interior Seaway, all prior to mass human population. How do the doomsday climate activists explain that? Maybe, it's because the earth goes through its own climate cycles independent of people.
So do civilizations, and ours is about to be torn down.
Load More Replies...Ozone is created by sunlight. The 2 ozone holes on the planet are where the atmosphere receives the least amount of sunlight due to the axial tilt. There's one in the northern hemisphere and one in the southern hemisphere. Google it.
Yes, the holes are there because that's where the concentration of atmospheric ozone is lowest and therefore the first areas to lose their ozone. CFCs were destroying the ozone layer all around the world so it makes sense that the thinnest parts of the layer would be the first to go.
Load More Replies...There is also an element of performative identity at play. In a world where social media profiles often serve as a reflection of one's persona, posting a hot take can be a way for some to assert their individuality or align themselves with a perceived intellectual elite. Even if the content is shallow, the act of engaging in public debate or controversy can create a temporary feeling of belonging to a larger community of outspoken individuals.

I had "work ethics" the harder I worked, the more work they gave me, so I worked harder. Then they expected that level, which was me pushing myself to an extreme. Then they gave me a 20 cent pay increase for my efforts. I quit and left for another job, they hired two people to replace me. Never again, I then only worked as hard as the slowest person who was not being jumped on by supervision. And got better raises for being average.

I never liked that guy for reasons I couldn't put my finger on. Until now.
Sounds rather like "The ends justify the means" in reverse time, though
The quote is nice, I think. Who it comes from and what it reminds people of, though...
Generally, the drive to share hot takes, even those that are dumb, is less about the quality of the ideas and more about the pursuit of digital clout. When attention is easily measurable and public validation is just a click away, the incentive to participate in the echo chamber of superficial controversy remains strong, reinforcing a cycle where quantity of engagement often trumps quality of thought.

It's that the choice of font did not happen in a vacuum. It wasn't a Renfaire or something either.

It's *in that context* that the font choice comes across as a dog whistle.

I dont think they know that devils advocate is just a saying and not a person actually advocating for the devil...
That's not EXACTLY true, but not totally wrong. The Catholic Church used to have official Devil's Advocates, and their job was to present the argument for why someone nominated for sainthood should NOT recieve it. It wasn't supposed to be a general 'every viewpoint has some validity' position, and some viewpoints are OBJECTIVELY wrong due to factual or logical mistakes.
Load More Replies...I didn't know I was evil. I usually take the Devil's advocate position to help my students have reasonable arguments and to learn to hear as many details as possible. This person needs to be sat down and have the concept explained. Slowly. In small words.
Forcing yourself to argue from the side you see as wrong is healthy and may open your perspectives. You need to understand why another person might believe what they believe in order to refute it. Or, possibly, change your own view. This person should not be a teacher. They think they have all the answers and there is no room for any opinion that differs from their own.
I not only will play devil's advocate, but I advocate for the Church of Satan. They fight to keep religion (i.e. christians) out of government. Funny thing is that Levayan Satanism is really just atheism with a mascot.

Load More Replies...While being disingenuous should not have a place in a real world debate, it is naive to think that everyone will debate honestly. A great teacher will train their students not just to think of alternating viewpoints (and how to counter them -or honour them); but also how disingenuous arguments are constructed so students can watch for the warning signs. The goal of a real debate isn't necessarily to win, it's to achieve the best outcome. Students should be taught to think critically and question information, but they should also learn that it is not shameful or 'losing' to change your stance/viewpoint based on new information/arguments.
Oh, my, God. Sadly, I do know some fellow teachers who are this ignorant. Because of stupidity like this, I use the phrases “counter-argument,“ and “rebuttal“. When you are preparing an argumentative speech, you must anticipate at least one counter-argument, and have prepared at least one rebuttal.
He's teaching and doesn't even understand the material. Devil's Advocate means the opposite side is argued. Instead we get to learn not to challenge someone's position.

Thinking that we can or should run a government like a business is a special kind of stupid. Of course we don’t want government to be wasteful or abüsive but thinking it doesn’t have a role to play in the health of a nation where the private sector isn’t meeting needs is just plain willfully ignorant or mean-spirited.

Load More Replies...As a long-time government employee, and without reading that article, I agree with that statement. It's very difficult to serve _people_ when you are forced to comply with mandates meant to make you efficient. It's never a one-size-fits-all situation. Everyone has their own specific needs and if you want to be effective in serving the public, you need the leeway to make independent decisions about what will work best.

If You Consider Yourself A Friend To Someone, You Better Ask Them If They're Okay With Being Befriended. You're Setting Them Up For Disappointment If You End Up Having A Falling Out
If a person doesn't share the delusion that they are a mentee, then they will hardly get upset when they discover their self-deluded mentor has forsaken them. And if they do share the delusion, then it's not a delusion. This is just ridiculous.
I consider becoming a manatee, that way I wouldn't have to deal with all this.
I actually agree with this one. I've MET people that act like they are in a position to be respected, to have their opinion or 'expertise' sought, due to their greater age or seniority of time in a job. They are often quite irritated when the person they are 'showing the ropes' does not appreciate the role, or act 'appropriately'. Being a REAL mentor is a serious relationship, and both parties need to be willing to take part.
This is a big party of my job. I don't have a formal mentor relationship, I think that's unnecessary. But I lead by example, I correct mistakes. If Junior engineers are unwilling to take correction, that's fine. I'm willing to hear them out, sometimes they're right and I'm wrong. But if they can't convince me, they are still free to go their own way. And if it turns out I was wrong after all, that's awesome, I would love that. I would rather learn something new, than be right. Mentoring is a two way street after all.

Hmm. I Don't Know Anyone Else With This Problem. Seems Like A "You" Thing
Funny how they think it's about money and not the fact that they are hosers.
To Sadie:, As a lesbian, here are some things I love about (not all) men: a quick and witty sense of humor, ability to reach higher shelves, ease of opening jar lids, willingness to ride in front in cabs/ubers, their easy and carefree way of walking through the world, their ability to gloss over/move quickly past feelings, the fact they will often eat the food I haven’t been able to finish or don’t like, their barbers. I really could go on and on. I don’t know why you are focused on liking men only for their ability to provide. I don’t “need” one, but I love so many of them. What do you like about men that isn’t about them providing for you,? Because it sounds like YOU don’t see their value outside that.
Load More Replies...No, you just have to not be a POS loser. I only care if you're an equal partner with me and we share the financial load equitably. Not equally, equitably. I've been on both ends of the pay differential.
Yep, its so much easier to blame lack of money, when the personality/mindset is the real problem ;-)
Sounds like you have nothing else to offer, or care about nothing else. Women do like financial security, but most of them don't like being merely another accessory.

I have NO idea why anyone is the least bit hung up on guys being short.
I agree. I like short guys because I can hug *them*, not their balls. (I may not be super tall, lol.)

I have a list of people I would k**l already (yes, I talked about that with my therapist, she found the thought incredibly funny, and said it is healthy to fantasize about things like that, it's a coping mechanism)
Being a zombie would be better than spending time with this i******e. That the government can't tax undead people would be an added bonus.
If you're going to eat the guy's brains, it's helpful that he isn't too tall for you to munch on them, isn't it?

You need to take into consideration that Amtrak stops to let passengers on and off the train. They don't just load up in St Louis and go directly to Orlando.
and our railways were designed to max out at 55mph. they cannot go faster due to physics and trains literally jumping tracs on the curves. we have never updated any unlike over in europe and asia where they can go much much faster. High peed rails are physically completely different types of trains and americans just dont use trains enough for companies to invest in overhauling the railways. it would be a massive upfront cost and it would take YEARS to recoup the investments and no one is willing to do that.

Not Really Sure What We're Supposed To Be Shocked And Appalled By Here, But Ok
Capitalism doesn't dictate that. The owner's personal preferences, seating limits, how disruptive the customers are, how busy the day is...there are many reasons why a business could let you stay indefinitely or boot you out the moment you finish eating.
Surely capitalism (the profit motive) has some influence over the owner's preferences.
Load More Replies...Eating lunch doesn't entitle you to stay in the restaurant for the rest of the day. Read the room and see if they need the table.
Ah, yes; I can stay as long as I want at a private business even after they ask me to leave because…capitalism.

Load More Replies...I once had a table of four students, rich ones btw given that they put their gold Amex cards behind the bar for the tab. It was a Saturday morning, incredibly busy and they kept ordering water after they'd finished their meal. I asked them politely if they could please finish their water in the bar area? Nope... This arrogant "male" said - "If you'd done better at Uni like we are? You wouldn't be stuck here in a dead end job" ........ Totally unfortunately for them my boss and supervisor overheard that and... All cards declined. Held behind the bar until one of them was able to go out and get cash from the cash machine to pay the bill.... Moral of the story? Don't pish off your servers 👍😉
It's actually called making a living. The server and the restaurant earn their money and tips by turning over the tables and serving new customers, not checking on your loitering @sses for 2 hours after you've eaten.
My son was a bus boy at a small cafe - a table of 3 women were there a long time and when he gathered their plates and removed them none of them said a word. Then they called over the mgr and one lady said she hadn't yet finished her meal with the plate was removed (btw, there were several green beans and some potatoe on the plate). So the mgr sent her a full new plate. When whe was done she had left the SAME foods behind on this plate. What a scam.

Call It Whatever You Want, We'd Still Rather Visit The South Korea Than The North Korea
north korea is friend with ruSSia, so south korea is friend with donald too.......maga gonna love this one 3:) 01-67e989112feaa.jpg
South: Korea (still the original governing body, for the most part) North: Chinese Occupation Zone Fixed that for you.
Good god this makes me angry!! Does the US not know what they did to Korea!?! They were there to aid the removal of the occupying Japanese after WWII (which started on 1910) but some decided to take the Japanese bribes & left them in charge. It was arbitrarily decided to split the country along a line of latitude, which split lands & family that continues to this day. During the war, the esteemed Gen Macarthur loved the idea of nuclear bombs so much he wanted 30-40 OF THEM to bomb the border of N Korea & China! Cooler heads prevailed, fortunately. That war is still continuing to this day, a peace treaty has never been signed but it's the longest cease fire in history. All S Korean men must do mandatory armed forces duty between the ages of 19-35. So many, many more atrocities upon this country by the US, but yes please, call S Korea 'American Occupied'. 🙄 If you've read this far, congrats! Look into this further, expand your knowledge on this little known piece of the planet.
Your understanding of this divide is indeed quite shortsighted. In fact, the conflicts between different regimes on the Korean Peninsula have been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years. There have been very few periods of Korean unification during known history, with the peninsula divided between two, and often three, different kingdoms for significant periods of time. Additionally, conflict with Japan has also been a longstanding element.

Load More Replies...Why is it wrong to leave a legacy for your children? All these stories about parents who screw over their kids and now leaving an inheritance is wrong too? Good parents always want a better life for their children. I've been taxed enough.
Even if you left nothing to your kids this would result in more inequality. Because it's not like you die the moment your child is born. They would still get to be nepo babies. Except now you are taking away the only way most poor and middle class families have of passing on what little wealth they have acquired
Load More Replies...That money/property has been taxed throughout its existence. Why the inheritance tax then?
Because it at least partly balances the distribution of wealth. Capitalism has the inherent property to amass most of the wealth in the hands of only a few people. So unless you massively redistribute EXCESSIVE wealth (one way or the other), wealth will continue to accumulate only for a few people. But with that much wealth, it's possible to influence average people to believe it's their comparably little wealth the government is after...
Load More Replies...Nationalization is the process of taking privately-controlled companies, industries, or assets and putting them under the control of the government. So now y’all wanna nationalize inheritance and give it to our suuuuper trustworthy government. Rofl.
How do you know when you are going to die? It's a good idea in theory, but there are too many possible loopholes or ways a callous person could make the donor's remaining life miserable.
Load More Replies...Complete opposite opinion for me. I come from a poor family in a 3rd world country who had to skip meals every day and work tirelessly to put food on our plate. I am building my wealth every day for my family. Whether it's millions or billions, I want no pass ons from me to suffer like I did.
What I like about this idea is that when we see the other end of the spectrum is so ridiculous, doesn't it put into perspective how ridiculous our current situation is? After all, while no inheritance at all seems nuts, doesn't it also seem nuts that kids are inheriting staggering amounts of money tax-free?
Passing on some generational wealth isn’t terrible. It’s when it begins to create royalty that it becomes problematic.
Or everyone could just make the most out of their life, make the money they want and do what they want with it. Why should people who make a lot of money have to be penalized for making money and not screwing around with their life.
Julie Doesn't Take Kindly To 99 Percent Of The World, Apparently. This Is Unnecessarily Mean
Why are people some people so self conscious about the word "cisgender?" It means "on the same side of gender," referring to a person who identifies with their s*x at birth. I would understand if somebody wasn't familiar with the term or was confused about it's meaning, but it was never intended to be derogatory or discriminating in anyway. People who make a big deal about the word are either not cisender themselves (fair enough), or transphobic in some shape or form. Why would they be uncomfortable with a word that literally describes their biology?
The problem with the word is that is carries connotations of "cissy", or "sissy", meaning an effeminate male, and is therefore seen to be emasculating - which exacerbates the feeling of those who have been raised on the idea of what a man is, and don't feel comfortable with the term "cis male" when they feel that "male" should be sufficient for the vast majority (and gay male, trans male etc for those who are not "normal").
Load More Replies...Since when did the term cisgender become an insult? It’s a perfectly fine word that refers to someone who is the exact same gender they were born with.
It refers to someone who identifies as the same gender as their biology (i.e. I think of myself as male and I have XY chromosomes and male genitalia), whereas transgender people identify as a gender that is not the same as their biology. Some of them want to make the two re-align, others don't. Idiots like Julie Rose think that any term other than 'straight' means some weird, leftist imaginary nonsense.
