Like 5 or 10 years from now, scientists and researchers from across all universities will point out that “AI IS BAD!”.
That COVID essentially gave everyone PTSD or brain damage or both, and has probably fucked us for at least a generation, maybe more.
NB: As a side note, this is just a hunch but I suspect that the next generation coming up (IE people who were infants/very young kids at the time COVID started) is going to be a real weird one. They missed out on crucial social development milestones because of the lockdowns, probably most of them got COVID because we rushed everyone back to school and who knows what that does to very young brains, and they’ll spend the rest of their formative years in this sort of jibbering fascist aftermath that we seem to be currently living in. I have no idea what effect this will have on society, but I’ll go out on a limb and say “probably not good.”
That there is no solution to climate change under capitalism
Western AI will collapse and then their “journalists” will scream “AI is bad because china” or “china is bad because AI”, depending on target audience.
I think the collapse will ultimately be more like a correction. I think AI does have its uses if deployed properly, but right now it’s being way overblown.
That AI use stunts mental capacity and learning. That handing kids iPads doesn’t make them good at computers. Other stuff too probably, but I’ll wait for more studies to come out. Your question is basically “Which of your hot takes do you think will be vindicated in the next decade?”
Vaping is bad for you.
Current energy drinks cause heart/cardiovascular problems.
I’m honestly shocked that energy drinks are as unregulated as they are. Like, they don’t have warnings on the cans or anything. Way back when I was in high school, a friend on the golf team would drink 3 or 4 red bulls during a round of golf. By sophomore year of college, he had to quit the team (that he had a full ride scholarship to play on) because of heart problems caused by the energy drinks.
They do have warning labels on most of them. Sorry to say but some people bring these problems onto themselves. Like, I know what I’m doing by drinking Monster Java drinks almost every day. I limit 2 a day because that’s the ‘safe limit’. Any more, I’d be asking for it. I can’t imagine what it’d be like drinking 4 of them in one day though.
It’s like they’re to be treated like alcohol - drink responsibly. These aren’t the kind of drinks you’d chug down like you would a bottle of water or something.
It’s already known that vaping is bad for you. When using one, you’re inhaling heavy metal vapours from the heating element.
This study was funded by tobacco companies, only involved cheap disposable vapes that were made in china, and didn’t find heavy metals in all samples. It didn’t include any of the long term use vapes or coils that you fill with your own juice. No study thats been done on those have ever found any negative health effects.
Like, it’s obviously not better for you than just breathing air. But it is also by all evidence better than smoking. But there has been a massive PR push to making vaping the absolute devil and just not mentioning smoking at all. It is anecdotal at best, but I can say that giving up cigarettes for a vape has made my breathing feel significantly better day-to-day. I have people actively smoking cigarettes tell me I need to quit vaping because “it’s so bad for you”.
Do I think that people that have never smoked should start vaping - absolutely not. Do I think people smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day would be generally healthier if they switched to vaping - absolutely yes.
That societies were wrong to promote non-violent protest as the only permitted form of resistance.
Well, if you asked me a couple months ago I’d say a study that says genocide is happening is Gaza but the UN finally did it. https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2025/09/israel-has-committed-genocide-gaza-strip-un-commission-finds
After rigorous study, turns out plastics in your brain are kinda bad for you. After even more rigorous study, it turns out to be bad for you in other organs too
That this thread is full of results from existing studies.
Notice how almost every study in this thread has already been done numerous times.
The Cons just say they’re wrong and the media claims that they have to represent ”both sides“ so the general public gets lead to believe the studies are also just opinions.
That Trump wasn’t very good for the economy.
Trans people are who they say they are.
We know this shit. I’m so tired of arguing against bad-faith motherfuckers for my existence.
All that plastic inundating the environment and accumulating in our bodies is actually a serious problem.
That children shouldn’t drink 2 cups of milk every day.
I’m no food scientist or dietitian, but I won’t be surprised if Keto and Carnivore diets are confirmed to accelerate high blood pressure and heart disease.
Everything I’ve seen about keto is that it helps with reducing blood pressure. I’ve not gone full keto but I’ve cut out carbs significantly (alongside intermittent fasting, only eating 11a-7p) and it curbed my blood pressure issues over about a year.
Carnivore I wouldn’t be surprised about though.
Carnivore I wouldn’t be surprised about though.
Carnivore is just keto.
No it’s not. Keto allows you to eat low carb plants whereas the carnivore diet eliminates all non-animal products.
Yes, but its a ketogenic eating pattern. Zero carb.
Carnivore is a type of keto, and gets all of the benefits we see with keto
You would be very surprised! The effects of low-carbohydrate diets on cardiovascular risk factors: A meta-analysis
TLDR Metabolic health is mostly impacted by poor diet, excess glucose and carbohydrates (which directly become glucose). Reducing elevated glucose levels has direct and measurable improvements on blood pressure and CVD risk.
A strict ketogenic intervention is so potent that people taking blood pressure medication have to be very careful and monitor their blood pressure when starting to reduce their medicine so they don’t faint from hypotension… i.e. Cardiovascular disease risk factor responses to a type 2 diabetes care model including nutritional ketosis induced by sustained carbohydrate restriction at 1 year: an open label, non-randomized, controlled study
