This Group Shames People Who Had Dumb Opinions, Here Are The 50 Most Unhinged (New Pics)
Social media gave laypeople a platform to make their voices heard, for better or worse. It empowered those with something valuable to say and, unfortunately, those who eventually proved they were filled with nothing but hot air.
Take these people shamed by the “Hot Takes Nobody Asked For” Facebook page as an example. It’s the typical “bold statement” you read on microblogging sites or comment boxes.
They’re often baseless, arrogant remarks of warped hubris that make no sense at all, making them laughable to a point of entertainment. Scroll through to see what we mean.

PBS is too "woke". Teaching kids how to count, do their alphabet, and be nice to each other is woke?

I think they mean physical knobs, not the touch sensitive buttons that you need your glasses to find and then take your eyes off the road to change settings.
Experts refer to these opinions as a product of “belief superiority.” In their 2018 paper published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers Michael Hall and Kaitlin Raimi defined it as the mindset of thinking your opinion is far superior to other people’s.
In their study, Hall and Raimi gathered participants who felt their beliefs on controversial topics such as wealth distribution and civil liberties were superior. The pair used multiple-choice quizzes as their gauge.

Sadly my ex had a workmate who was a N enthusiast and collector and said he was gonna go. I did however did a polar opposite of this post at one event he hosted came (one time) and I tried on some of the jackets and held one of their guns and tried on a hat, it’s funny cos their relics are nothing but antique junk and my people (who they tried so hard to get rid of) are here and I’m here wearing their ugly shìt and the bittersweet irony is crazy. Then he found out I was east Europe Jew gypsý😂 he was not happy
Hall and Raimi conducted five studies and found that their subjects with the highest belief superiority also had the widest disparity between their perceived and actual knowledge. At the same time, they still had a misguided notion that they were better informed than they were before undergoing the experiment.
Here’s what’s interesting, though: Hall and Raimi also discovered that feedback can deflate belief superiority. After participants received constructive criticism, they reduced their belief superiority and sought out more challenging information they may have previously neglected.

People in China don't love their government, they just have to put up with it.
Confirmation bias also plays a significant role in influencing “hot takes.” As Ph.d researcher Rebecca Dolgin points out, talking to other people who share our beliefs leaves us more convinced that we are correct, even though it couldn’t be any further from the truth.
“When others disagree, we rationalize that we are seeing things clearly, and they are somehow ill-informed, biased, or illogical,” Dolgin stated.

It also doesn’t help that many people get their information from social media, regardless of the authenticity of the source. To put that in context, a 2024 survey by Pew Research Center found that 54% of American adults claim they “at least sometimes” use social media as their news source.
A more alarming statistic is that a third of Americans say they “regularly” gather their news from social media sites, with Instagram being the biggest source at 20%. TikTok comes in second place with 17%, followed by Twitter with 12%.

So, how do we avoid being the l*****c with the crazy, hot takes? Sociologist Dr. Tracy Brower says it all comes down to emotional regulation. She advises avoiding information that could make you unhappy or threaten your well-being, while challenging yourself with new information that isn’t tied to your beliefs.
“You can grow through seeking information regarding topics you’re less knowledgeable about or which are new to you,” Dr. Brower writes, adding that avoiding echo chambers created by algorithms is also necessary to broaden your view of the world.

The law on "offensive weapons" in the UK is pretty sensible. If I'm driving in my van with these tools, and many more dangerous, axes, chainsaw etc. I am using them for work, most reasonable people would see that they are not offensive weapons. If some teen is standing on a street corner at 1am with a sharpened screwdriver, he can't pretend he was going to change a plug. Most reasonable people would say he had it as a weapon.

Five bucks says it's a parody account, or more likely, a very bad attempt at trying to seem relevant. Not unlike the "Hello fellow teens" meme.

Every black person I know was more offended by Aunt Jemima being scrubbed from our cultural fabric than they were ever offended by Aunt Jemima. What did she ever do to you?

Miguel, this whole posts is idiotic. The info is so inaccurate, it's almost laughable. All it does is bring about negative comments from people who hate Trump and hate anything he is trying to do to save the USA. I am very close to abandoning Bored Panda because of these kinds of posts. I'm in the top 5% and I used to have fun on this site. You are ruining any fun and propagating anger and venomous comments. Please STOP.

The sad part is that you really think your saying something. I bet it sounded smart on your head. Unfortunately you are clueless that the right uses identity politics to hurt people. Is it identity politics to give people the same rights? If you think so, you are a bigot.
