Schrodinger’s Rage Bait

When your friend says something a dumb “hot take”, but waits for the reaction of the group to claim it was rage bait.

Friend 1: why does Jake always say the dumbest takes in the group chat?
Friend 2: He thinks it’s funny to rage bait us, but he’s actually just stupid
Friend 1: Ah I get it, he waits to be called out to say he was just trying to get a rise out of us
Friend 2: exactly, it’s a Schrodinger’s Rage Bait
