This Page Shares The Most ‘Delusional Takes’ Posted By People Online, And Here Are 35 Of The Worst Posts
As it turns out, there actually is such a thing as having too much confidence. Having principles is perfectly fine; being arrogant and close-minded, however, is a recipe for disaster. Just because you write something on the internet with complete conviction doesn’t automatically make it the truth. And not all opinions are facts. [Surprised Pikachu gasps dramatically!]
Some of the worst, most uneducated, completely bonkers opinions end up being featured on the ‘Delusional Takes’ Twitter page, where followers can poke fun at them. There’s being wrong and owning up to your mistakes. And then there’s the stuff featured on ‘Delusional Takes’ which is a whole other level of insanity.
Be warned, Pandas, what you’re about to see might make you facepalm so hard that your friends might wonder why you’ve got a red mark on your face. Scroll down for some of the worst things that the internet has to offer.

Why do Americans speak English, an English language from England, rather than speaking Native American?
The ‘Delusional Takes’ Twitter page was started up fairly recently, just half a year ago, in June 2022. However, in that time, it has managed to attract over 162.9k followers with its posts that focus on wrong opinions and arrogant social media users.
The page moderator suggests that people should unfollow the account if they’re cringe. Meanwhile, if you’ve come across an incredibly delusional take while surfing the net or scrolling through your social media feeds, you can send them a link to the post. Who knows, you might get lucky and your post might get featured.
Reading through some of the posts that were featured on ‘Delusional Takes’ is bound to give you a heavy dose of secondhand embarrassment. Seriously, how can people be so incredibly wrong?
It’s moments like this one that remind you that common sense isn’t all that common. And that many people would rather stay comfortably within their opinion echo chambers than risk being proven wrong. What’s life worth if you don’t try to learn more about the world and instead bonk everyone on the heads if they dare disagree with you? That’s no way to live.
Then by her logic, she is single because theres something wrong with her, which im honestly starting to believe...
People who have delusional takes are prime examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect at work. To put it simply, the effect means that most individuals firmly believe that they’re smarter than average. Now, obviously, that’s not how averages work. But these people think that they’re far more competent and intelligent than the rest. As a result, they see their opinions as closer to the truth than anyone else’s. Often, they’re wrong.
Shush white person shouting and telling black people what should offend them
Kicking this guy in the kahunas is just a natural human reaction to such a pervy suggestion.
However, the Dunning-Kruger effect applies to experts as well. Though, slightly differently. Specialists believe that everyone else is aware of the (objectively complicated) things they know. To these experts, everything seems clear, but the general public might not understand the concept they use. Furthermore, well-educated people tend to underestimate their skills.
As a result, you have a very weirdly skewed situation where those who lack education are the most confident in their opinions. Meanwhile, those who are well-educated are too timid and far too critical of themselves. People, in general, have an extremely tough time estimating how competent they are in a given area.
There’s another issue. Repetition is something that makes people believe an opinion, even if it’s factually incorrect. The more we’re exposed to certain information, the more plausible it seems to us. And even if we’re aware of the role that repetition plays in our perception of reality doesn’t make us completely immune to it. That’s the power of fake news and propaganda.
Two ways to counter misinformation are to find reputable sources and to do a bit of background research on a ‘fact’ before retweeting or reposting someone else’s opinion. No news source is perfect; everyone makes mistakes. However, this doesn’t mean that all sources are equal. Far from it.
Oh god this is similar to that guy telling AOC that she isn’t a congresswoman just because she’s a woman in congress. It’s just the racist edition
Ha, if you come anywhere near my special edition PS4, I’ll set my cat on you!
Focus on new sites that do actual investigative journalism, instead of just parroting information from other sources. The more transparency there is, the better. Media literacy and being able to gauge the reliability of ‘facts’ is an incredibly vital skill in the Internet Age. It will only become more important as time goes by.
Which of these horrible, horrible takes do you think were the worst of the bunch, dear Pandas? Why do you think these people aren't more self-aware of just how delusional they sound? What's the very worst opinion you've ever read online? Share your thoughts in the comments.
They may have the largest brains, cannot be bothered to see if this maybe true, but they know sod all, and will spend the next few years too obsessed with sex.
Additionally, their critical thinking skills aren’t fully developed until they’re in their mid-twenties. So, even though they can absorb and retain a lot of information at that age, they still are unable to see outside themselves and understand that their actions affect more people than just themselves. Amassing knowledge is one thing. Knowing how and when to use it is another thing entirely.

So, do dyslexic 31y or 41y olds also have extra-large brains? Asking for a friend.
as a teenager who was 13-14 a while ago, no. 13/14 year olds are stupid.
As a 14 tear old... I've gotten myself into some.. situations

I don’t necessarily believe this one. I’ve read in some medical journals reporting on cannabis usage on teenagers brains. Our minds are still developing until our early to mid 20’s and cannabis inhibits their development into adulthood. While I love me some weed myself, it brought forth the fact that our minds are clearly NOT at our cognitive best at 13 or 14. If they were, then why do kids make dumb life choices ? Simple. They aren’t mentally mature enough to make adult decisions yet. The OP is clearly a misinformed 14 year old. Lol
It's all relative, and relative to body size, a newborn has the 'biggest brain' but can't add up for toffee....
This is entirely true. I have no idea what you're talking about. (I'm thirteen years old :) )
EQ is dismal, tho. One needs life experience to balance IQ and EQ... using social and emotional skill sets to solve problems and deploy logic.
These "facts" may be "clear", but they sound clearly made up. Pi is exactly equal to 3 is a "clear fact", but it's a clearly wrong fact.
Side note: their first claim is entirely false. Quick Google search found: "brain mass peaks at about 1,450 g before age 25 years" not 13 as claimed.

If 13 and 14 year olds score significantly better on a test than other groups, the principals of statistical analysis suggest that maybe you should first look at what's up with that test.
It's been proven that the size of them brain matters less than the wrinkles in your brain. If you have a giant brain, bit it's smooth, you're not able to process as much as a small brain with wrinkles. Wrinkles give extra surface area for more synapse to grow and move through.
Hmm I thought toddlers brains were the best. Don‘t know if they are the biggest but compared to their bodys they certainly seam so. Their pathways or whatever it was are very numerouse or created very quickly or something, so that they can learn SO MUCH stuff ALL THE TIME. That‘s why toddlers are the best at learning languages.
The peak brain size thing is true, and there is a weak correlation between brain size and intelligence, but the claims are a stretch. I do think teenagers can be both intelligent and wise though, and they are frequently underestimated. The thing is, they just don't have life experience yet and brain size won't change that.
Wjile it's true the brain reaches its maximum physical size between the ages of 11 and 13, it's development is not complete until well into the twenties. Cognitive skills continue to improve until way past middle age.
Speaking as a 13-year-old, I have to disagree. Especially after hearing the things kids say in my math class (This one girl was boasting about having a 1.25 gpa)
13 and 14 year olds have been found to be amongst the most hateful and bullying.
Everyone is stupid in their own unique way but at age 13/14 we’re all exceptionally stupid. We just don’t accept that we’re stupid at that age. Once you’ve come to terms with your own stupidity and vow to battle your constant inner urge to dumb, you start to realize that there is no smart, only the brief absence of stupidity in that fleeting moment.
Just because you say they're *facts* doesn't make them so
look my youngest daughter is 13 and I can tell you right now... nope, this whole thing is super wrong!
My 13 year old acts like she has never learned a thing in her life and my 14 year old acts like he has lived all the lives to ever have been lived. Both of them are wrong about most things they speak on.
… and brain volume isn’t connected to cognition or intelligence, so you’ll have to clarify what your point is here.
The facts aren't wrong... I just think the implied significance probably is.
Actually their brains are not yet fully "wired" since synaptic connections are still underway until age 25, Thus they have not yet developed their judgement,. That is why they are not good drivers, they can't judge anything correctly.Brain weight is a useless measurement.
I think that he got the age wrong, but otherwise it is completely true that our mental capacity peak at a certain age (there is a bit of discussing about exactly when). When we are very young, our brain is still developing and has not yet reached its maximum potential, and when we grow old, our brains starts to detoriate. So a sweet-spot must exist somewhere in between. Most people put that somewhere in the twenties to thirties. However many people can compensate for the lack of brainpower after that age by the increase in experience they are gaining with time ...at least for a period until alzheimers or similar "old age diseases" starts to kick in.
This dude is "stooopid" 13 year olds can't even process the consept of abstract....
Or Pakistan? They used to have a squad of transvestite tax inspectors in Karachi (to embarass business owners into paying, otherwise they hang around their shops all week; pay or go bankrupt!). So it's the only country where you could defend "no dad, I'm not like that, I'm a tax inspector I only do it for work"? Hm.

I'm of the mind that Logic and Rational Thinking courses throughout school would probably improve everything by a lot.
I literally cannot read any more of this. I despair for humanity at this point.
Man, Im a firm believer that everyone should take a " WAIS IV " IQ test before being aloud on social media platforms...
I feel like most people on this list aren't really happy in their lifes. Allways assuming the worst makes you bitter and lonely.
Couldn’t get through the whole list. WTF is wrong with this world?!
Got to number 10 and had to stop. How disgusting and depressing and appalling. 🤮
Wish I never started to read that BS, it's bedtime and I feel sad, mad and completely dumbfounded now! Some people need help and or prison 🤨🤮
Excuse me, I’m going to go rebel against these people in the grocery aisle. Jerks don’t deserve fresh fruit
This entire list makes me sick. How do these people remember to exhale?
After reading most of this: Alexa, please play People = Sh*t on repeat. Smh...
