The Hot Debate Guy meme, famously known as the Change My Mind template, features a person sitting behind a table with a sign designed to provoke public discourse. Originating from a 2018 photo of a podcaster at a university campus, the image was intended to spark political debate but quickly evolved into a versatile internet format. It is now used globally to express 'hot takes'—opinions that range from the deeply philosophical to the hilariously trivial. Users edit the text on the sign to present a bold claim, inviting others to attempt to change their mind, making it one of the most recognizable formats for social commentary and humor.
