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.

Hym "Speaking of daughters, yours can 'take everything I have.' And I know, you struggle with interpretation so I'll spell it out for you: I mean both my weiner and seed. She can take it all. I'm speaking euphemistically about sex with your daughter. As opposed to literally."

When you’re in pain and you need to let your anger out in a fury you would yell “take a damn stinky”

The antithesis of a hot take. A Lott Take eschews any meaningful insight instead providing only obvious observations. E.g. "We didn't win the game because the offense didn't score enough points and the defense allowed too many points."

Using the bathroom, finishing, and then coming back to your desk, only to get up and go back to the bathroom.
