Schrodinger's Bait

A comment or internet post of such unbelievably idiotic origins that the the poster must then wait to see what the reaction is before deciding if it is truly what he believes or if he has "baited" all of the people responding negatively.
Like Schrodinger's Cat is both alive and dead until the box is opened and the observer sees which one it is, Schrodinger's Bait is both genuine and a prank until the post is up and the creator has to start cleaning up the pile of shit he let loose.
That's not a "hot take", that's Schrodinger's Bait.
