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.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Poor kiddos. Having your parents not bond with you on your level....yeesh

Actually read the whole article a while back. Headline is very much clickbait. It might be controversial, but she explains it rather well. She doesn't enjoy certain games, and does other important stuff with her kids, while encouraging them to play on their own or with each other. Look up the original article if you want, I'm not saying I agree with her, but she makes some sense and I definitely don't think she's a bad mom because of this.
Yep, Oki is right. The article is from June 21, 2021 and is NOT an argument for "Ignore your kids." Here's a tiny piece that might encourage Pandas to actually read the article: "When my kids and I stop doing our own things and come together, it’s because we want to. The activities we do together offer all of us pleasure; we opt in and because of this, we actually have fun."

The title to this was pure clickbait. Look up the actual article and it's not as sad and rage inducing as you'd think.

I certainly hope her SECOND husband takes the time to bond with YOUR children and give them the attention they need and deserve.
That is going to be one lonely old person. Their kids will grow up and leave, and never come back with their own kids, because Grandpa or Grandma was always such a miserable f**k.
In the future, their therapists will be grateful for the income you generated for them.
Dude I have anxiety several times a week worrying that I don't play with my kids enough. I dunno how this person came to this conclusion. Those poor kids. :/ :'(
My dad has been gone for almost 20 years but one of the reasons I miss him so much I still cry is because he loved me and my sibling and showed us all the time how much he loved us. When I was little, he'd happily be my battle horse and let me sit on his back as he crawled around on all fours. When I got too big he was gladly sitting down building Legos with us. He taught me how to dance some traditional Swedish dances and we often danced around the kitchen while waiting for food to be done. He mended my favourite socks (with Esmeralda from the Hunchback Disney movie) three times before he carefully and kindly asked if next time, I could consider buying a new pair instead because there was no fabric left to sew in. He always fixed my toys and my clothes and taught me how to be kind and loyal. Showing your children you love them and including them in things you enjoy makes them remember you fondly and makes them wish they could see you again.
See how well that works when you're in an old folks home with no visitors...
His book is entitled to "how to NOT be a father" (maybe don't make BABIES???)
They will grow up not expecting much of anything from Dad, and will probably be correct.
Well I get it. I love to read to my daughter, I actually like crafts and sometimes board games but I hate hate hate role-playing and yes I think I shouldn't have to do that. That's what other kids are for and she gets lots of social interaction in a week. So she will have to live without me playing with her.
playing is how children learn. By refusing to play with them, you are saying goodbye to a lot of options of to teach them some valuable lessons that they will need later in life to thrive.
Why have kids? I love showing my girls new things and having fun while we do it
Also, don't feed or clothe them; let them figure it out for themselves..
OP: "I planted a sperm in your Mom and that's the full extent of my relationship to you."
My parents encourage my brother to think independently and to play on his own sometimes but they do still play with him
Isn't this the recipe for raising psychopathic loner/serial killers?
My parents were like this. Don’t have contact with them. Husband and I were the opposite and our kids are our best friends. Lots of laughter in our home.
Imagine 50 years from now when this man is old and frail and wonders, why don’t my children spend time with me ?
Why do you assume a man wrote the article? It was actually the mother.

Let’s see what he says about his three kids when they’re over 30. Especially about they last spoke to him.
“He”? Why do you assume a man wrote the article? It was actually a woman, the kids’ mother.

Play is supposed to be fun for both people. Many parents feel like they have to play with their kid even if it's something they don't like. Instead find things to do that you both like. It makes play much more fun and you don't end up in this situation where you just think all play sucks.
Tyranamar Seuss, that's exactly what this mom argues -- the kids play things where they don't want her involved [the clickbait "don't play w/your kids" part] and they all do other pleasurable activities together.

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.

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...
