About The Daily Absurd
Because the Truth is Strange Enough.

What we do
The Daily Absurd publishes one delightfully bizarre headline every day—always tied to a real source. It’s a quick dose of “wait…what?” without the doomscroll.

How it works

• We pick a true, verified story with an absurd twist.
• We write a crisp headline and short blurb.
• We link to the original source (no paywalls when possible).
• You smile, wince, or text it to a friend.

What you’ll find here

• Odd arrests and weirder rulings
• Animals being suspiciously human
• Bureaucracy doing what bureaucracy does
• Brilliant nonsense from everyday life

Why we exist
News can be heavy. Reality is also ridiculous. We highlight the second part—one headline, once a day—so you can get in, grin, and get on with your life.

Who we are
A tiny team that loves journalism, headlines, and the glorious mess of human behavior. Tips and corrections are welcome.
