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.
Please don't fetishize autism or any other disability. In fact please stop with all the autism objectification in general. We are not a prop for your vaccine discussion which is both untrue aaaand insulting to be used as a worst case scenario for preventing a disease with death as an option. Stop making tv shows about how we are so smart but have no ability to be emotional or worse just need to be taught how by someone we want to sleep with. Autism is a complex disability that can present in a lot of ways and painting it with a broad brush is why it's so hard to get diagnosed.
LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK 👏👏👏

You could sexualize two rocks crashing each other, with your genitalia in the middle.
Ok but, as someone who has been only just diagnosed and struggled silently for years, how about we don't and let people decide if they want to sexualise themselves and having autism has no push or pull over the situation!?
Not to derail your excellent point but I'm glad you're starting to get clinical input and answers. After childhood it can be extremely frustrating and difficult to get a diagnosis. I hope that it helps to make you feel whole and better understood. To quote red green. I'm pulling for ya, we're all in this together.

"Normalized", the word you were looking for was " normalized", right? Right?
Idk, I believe maybe this person only made a bad wording choice. I'm autistic and it often bothers me to be treated like if I can't have sex or sexual desire or reproductive system issues (straight up been refused treatment for being autistic meanwhile having visible reproductive/hormonal issues) and it's something I've seen other autistic people speak about as well, maybe that's what they meant to discuss and expressed badly or even purposefully choose inflammatory wording to bring attention to the issue (people are more likely to click that title than a more passive one for sure).
I'm autistic too and wondered if they were maybe trying to make the point that autistic adults are whole people with sexuality and not to infantilise or assume...but now having gone seen their TikTok I can't tell what their stance may or may not be as their content seems to be a lot of edgy clickbait...but also it's beyond my generation so maybe I just don't get it.

How about we just let people find their own way through life and love instead? Sexualizing anyone is never a good thing. Just ask anyone who has been treated like a one dimensional sex object instead of being genuinely appreciated and loved like the real and complete person they actually are.
I'm gonna go way, way, waaaay out on a limb here. Is it possible that the creator of this post means to say that it would be good if people found people on the spectrum to be sexy? Consider this: people with Asperger's syndrome people very often are considered creepy when they ALREADY have significant difficulties with socialization. (WHO THE F*** NAMED IT A*S-BURGER'S SYNDROME??? That was just cruel!) Imagine navigating a dating scene were certain behaviors are tolerated and rewarded if the other person finds them sexy, but hated if the other person doesn't. Now picture being legitimately inherently unable to tell the difference. What if there were some group of people who decided, "you know what? Those are good people, potentially great lovers, and they're not all taken?"
it's named Asperger's syndrome after Hans Asperger, the man who discovered autism (worth noting that Leo Kanner also discovered autism at the same time, but these were mostly independent, although Kanner did work with a man who also worked with Asperger on his autism work, but he denied his awareness of Asperger. If I sound interested, it's because I am, and because I am reading Neurotribes by Steve Silberman, a book about the history of autism and the neurodiversity movement). Asperger is controversial because there is some evidence to suggest that he was a Nazi, although there's also evidence to the contrary (as detailed in Neurotribes), so who knows he's dead we can't ask him, and when he was alive he said he wasn't. Asperger's syndrome as a diagnosis is no longer used, as it isn't really distinct from other manifestations of autism. Even Asperger didn't call it Asperger's syndrome.

*Normalizing. Now put down that phone and go outdoors. Your brain is starving for air.
Give me a good reason why we should be sexualising anything at all, let alone neurodivergance.
I’m autistic and when people call me “quirky” it sets off my fight or flight since it’s like. “You’re weird, but in a way that I’ll still fück you”
That's f***ed up on so many levels!! Hope no one "sexualizes" their illnesses/problems. >
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...
