Have strong opinions on a niche topic? Mechanical keyboards? A music genre? A framework, common practice or hyped app in tech that you think is incorrectly rated? A regional food item locals inexplicably love when it's clearly the product of mass delusion and lack of access to better alternatives? Pop culture? Ancient culture? Niche science hot takes would be amazing!!!! Bring me your geophysics hot takes on #Mastodon #HotTakeJubilee day, tomorrow 2.29.2024!!!!

Peanut butter is an intergenerational prank gone wrong. Parents decided to tease their children by feeding it to them ("Look what they're eating!") and were too amused to stop doing it. By the time they were planning to confess ("No, it's not food, silly.") it was too late and the children had got accustomed to the eldritch horror. With its beginnings lost in time immemorial, subsequent generations of parents continue to spread the practice without realising the horrifying consequences.
