35 Of The Most Delusional Takes On Things Ever Shared Online

Some people really need help—while confined in some institution.

It starts the way these things always do online, with someone dropping a take so confident it feels like a mic drop. Then you scroll a little more, and you realize the take is not just wrong, it is aggressively wrong, like it came with its own soundtrack.

In this batch of posts, you get everything from “any news from prison?” to “Stalin did nothing wrong?” to the wild jump from “body positivity” to “this is a sign... next, please.” There are people insisting “don’t get attached to your family,” others saying “you shouldn’t play with your kids,” and a whole section that turns race, pets, and “white-washed” into some kind of conspiracy bingo card. The complicated part is how many of these comments act like they are delivering facts, even when the logic is clearly doing gymnastics.

By the time you hit “Checkmate” and “Really?” back-to-back, you’re not just reading delusion, you’re watching it strut.

That “Any news from prison?” line lands, then instantly gets undercut by the next batch of comments like “This person should be locked up,” as if punishment is the only language they speak.

Finally, the whole thing spirals into “Stalin did nothing wrong?” and “Checkmate,” and you can almost hear the confidence getting louder as the reasoning gets quieter.

One of the clearest demonstrations of the Dunning-Kruger effect is when individuals possess delusional views. These individuals usually believe they are more competent and intelligent than the average person and that their opinions are closer to the truth than anyone else's.

However, this is logically impossible since it goes against the basic principles of averages. Despite this, such people will continue to stubbornly insist on their own superiority.

Scary, isn't it?

The only thing these takes checkmate is everyone’s patience.

After the “locked up” comments, you’ll need a logic reboot with these 81 visual anomalies that make your brain short-circuit.
