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.
Yes, it is lol. This person clarely doesn't have children

Tell me you can't remember being a kid (OP I mean, not you James)
Load More Replies... Yes let me refuse this delicious looking food that has been designed and engineered for me to want it through sight, taste and smell so I make the food companies more money by buying even more, or let me have an apple 🤷🏻♀️
If you want your kids to stay healthy, offer them books alongside their heroin. Eventually they get tired of the heroin.
Wtf, I'm an adult and would still rather stuff my face with chokolate then an Apple
I guess I'm weird. As I've gotten older, 31 now, I actually crave healthier foods, and am almost never interested in snack food and the like. Like I would 1000% rather have a real hot dinner, that something like cake or little Debbie snacks.

Um no. Doesn’t work like that. I was a latch key kid in the 80’s…and always had fast food take out or take away for my UK pandas. Now I’m 50 years old fighting food addictions because my mom said sugar was fine. Sugar reacts the same as cocaine on your dopamine neural transmitters. Teach your child to eat healthy early in life !
I've seen plenty of nutritionists apply this to their own children and done properly, if the child understands "bad" food is not "special", yes, it does work. I was raised with garden fresh veg & foods, and while I did eat more sweets and processed stuff as a kid (taste buds are different, etc) I loved "real food" more.
There is actual research and approach to this, it's called division of responsibility, and it's a way to avoid linking food with emotions in children's heads. We don't force our kids to eat anything, they just have to choose from what we put out (and sometimes we put out sweets).
No they won't. Modern processed foods short circuit the reward center in our hunter gatherer brains. Physically our brains haven't changed much since the neolithic, but the world around us has.
I agree with the first sentence, but why would you, as a parent, intentionally and knowingly let you child eat unhealthy food?
This is wrong and so is the exact opposite. Communicating and educating your children is what will help push them in the healthier direction.
Ok, I'm curious. Exactly how much McDonald's and Twinky stock does this guy own?
No, if given a choice, the child would eat what ever they wanted to, whether or not it was healthy.
I don't know. My nephew is still a voracious carbavore just like his auntie.
I can house a pot of mac'n'cheese just as well as when I was fifteen. Twenty one years has changed nothing about my feelings on brussels sprouts and broccoli.
I suppose anarchist turtles have never met children. Or adults. It would seem they only meet other turtles.
Yup that is true, that why my 45 year old a*s still loves sweets, pasteries, and junk food....
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...
