A burnt take is a perspective or opinion expressed on social media, which used to get a lot of attention for how uncommon or controversial it was, but doesn’t anymore.
It may have been overused as a means to farm interaction, causing it to lose its shock value, or it simply may have become a more commonly-held belief among people.
It could have also fizzled out because it used to pop up a lot in not-so-civil debates among a community, and said community became bored of the conflict.
A hot take that has lost its original spark.

OP: Hot take, Mr Beast is only pretending to be a good person, he’s actually super corrupt.
Commenter 1: Burnt take, everyone knows that he sucks now.
Commenter 2: I second that, just look at the quality control for Lunchly. Not to mention he put his buddy in solitary confinement and basically tortured him for views.

Get the Burnt Take mug.People in online discussions whose only purpose seems to be giving unwanted and unrequested health advice in their comments. The threads they choose to preach on are frequently unrelated to health advice, and their “tips” tend to be more annoying than helpful.
Typically more concerned with looking smart or superior than improving the lives of people they share a digital space with.
Often get snippy at the idea of someone using unhealthy ingredients in cooking, someone having self-confidence while being overweight, or even a mere mention of the terms “body positivity” or “fat acceptance.”
Very common on Reddit.

Guy 1: Check out this bento box I made! I decided to include those little hot dog octopuses in it, because I thought they were a cute idea.
Guy 2: Ooh that looks yummy
Guy 3: Cool post, but actually, hot dogs are really high in sodium and nitrates, so they are awful as a source of protein. I urge you to use anything else, preferably something leaner. Eating these all the time will make you fat, and fat is unhealthy. Sorry if that last part offends you, but that’s just facts.
Guy 1: I…don’t eat hot dogs all the time??? This is the first time I’ve had them in months.
Guy 2: aw goddammit, not another health nazi. Go piss on someone else’s post.

Get the Health Nazi mug.A long-form response post or comment made in a Q&A scenario, which feigns genuine interest in answering the OP’s question or solving their plight in the first paragraph or two, but reveals the commenter’s ulterior motive upon further reading.
This motive could involve trying to convert the OP to the commenter’s religion, pushing political propaganda, pushing a sweeping lifestyle change like minimalism or veganism, attempted cult or MLM recruitment, or advertising a product or service.
It can also be a convoluted form of trolling, in which the flytrapper’s goal is to waste the OP’s time, give a false sense of security, then try to make them feel shame or embarrassment for asking the question in the first place.

Person A: Do you still use Quora?
Person B: Hell no, that place if full of flytrappers. Last post I made on there, I asked for advice on how to move on from my grandpa’s death. Everyone’s response looked like they were gonna help me with the mourning process, but then either tried to convert me to Christianity, Buddhism, or tried to sell me books or get me to sign up for websites that looked cult-y.
