Hot takes don't have to be political. Sport (X team deserve to win more than the current leaders), food (flats are better than drumsticks), etc.

I fully agree, but in an office of 100 people, I'm surprised everyone else agrees.

They don't need to agree! That's part of the fun of it!

A regular on my service is hotdogs are sandwiches or emacs is the superior text editor

Well, everyone probably does need to agree on what is off-limits for work conversation. Putting something like "Joe Biden is a communist" or "Black lives matter is just a front for foreign agitators" into #hot-takes is probably not something you want people getting into at work in most cases, right? (Note that I am not making either of those statements, they were purposely chosen to be extremely provocative.)

I recommend "every food is either a soup or a salad".

or a meat

[phamilton]

No, meat is a salad

[t-writescode]

I think the original argument was a meat because a meat is a single, semi-solid, blob of a single item. Salads are non-mixed collections of goods and soups are homogenized(?) liquids.

Or did they collapse the state of matter for soups and meats?

That wouldn't match salad, though.
