ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Hot take

A hot take is when someone quickly gives their opinion on something that just happened or is happening right now. It's like when you taste a hot pizza straight out of the oven and say "This is the best pizza ever!" without taking the time to really think about it. A hot take is usually very passionate and strong, but it may not always be well thought-out or considered. So just like with pizza, it's important to slow down and really think before making a hot take.
