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.
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.
Maybe the confusion stems from the second photo being South African (a country officially named the Union of South Africa, in short U of SA --- a small step to the US of A; hence both USA!).
I live on a farm and I just want to get away from ALL people! Intovert's heaven 🤷♀️
Not true. What is impolite is following the answer with "no, I mean where are you really from"
Letting people give you that information when they feel ready for it, and they find it fitting the context of the current conversation. Unless you in some sort of business relation and need their adress, where they are from should be of little importance to you where people are from, as that is rarely their most defining feature. I know the "where are you from" question is in the standard small-talk-package, but that alone does not nessesarily mean that it is a good/safe question to ask.

"Asking someone where they are from is harmless".. not nessesarily, and that is partly why I hate that question. There are "good" places to be from and there bad places to be from, and for some people answering that question honestly might require sharing more information than they would like you to know. E.g. telling a potential employeer that you grew up in the slum, might ruin your chances of getting that high prestige job. That leaves people getting that question with two unpleasant options, saying "none of your business" whereby they are rejecting the question, which is in general considered impolite, or some kind of lying that may backfire later.

I don’t think this one is bad. Ive been asked that and “what are you” my entire life. I guess I look ethnically androgynous but not white, so people tend to get confused when they see me. It’s an obnoxious question and a reminder that some part of the questioner doesn’t see me as “one of them.” It’s always brought up in small talk and I agree it’s impolite.
So this issue. The problem was it was an old white woman asking an african-briton where she was from. Said african-briton deliberately had renamed herself to a combination nigerian-south-african name which made her sound exotic. She then got all huffy when, with a really exotic sounding name (ie not jane smith), she gets asked where she's from. I have to side with the daily heil (mail) on this one. It's offensive if the person gives an answer ("the uk") AND you persist in asking "no really". What you say after that is then "Oh your name sounds like it's authentically afircan do you mind saying how you got it?" . I've NEVER had a fellow african get pissy when I ask where they are from. This particular woman chose an exotic-sounding name (to british people), precisely SO AS to get the "where are you from" reaction SO THAT she could get all morally offended. My 2c as an african.
I kind of agree. People may not be proud of where they are from, and thinking that that is the most interesting thing about them might be a bit superficial. I think the "who are you as person questions" are far better than the usual "where do you live", "do you have siblings", what is your "occapations" ....Though these are the standard small-talk questions, and hence considered ok by many by default, I find quite a few of them to be a bit intrusive when you consider what answering them honestly can involve for people who has experienced some less fortunate situations. Let people tell those kind of things when it is natural to the conversation, and when they feel ready for it, rather than turning your first meeting into a background check. "My mother was a drug addicted h**e, so I grew up in the slum" might not be the first thing that you want somebody to know about you if you want to leave a good first impression... then you are only left with the options of lying or rejecting them.
nah the woman who got offended was british as I understood it so she should really understand it's just smalltalk if she lived in the uk.

Excuse me, I’m going to go rebel against these people in the grocery aisle. Jerks don’t deserve fresh fruit
