Today (November 20) is National Absurdity Day! Can you tell me something really absurd?
Yeah, it’s a real thing. What is something marvelously absurd that you can think of?

Too late to edit, but to clarify, this is meant to be a light-hearted Q, not a soap box for people’s oft-repeated political rants. One of the tags is “silliness”, please be guided by that.

@janbb Oooh, double-layered absurdity, I love it!
@canidmajor Did the link work for you? I just went to check it and Neptune swallowed it up.
Actually, no, that’s what I thought was the second layer of absurdity!
Neptune is very hungry today. I just tried another image and article and he swallowed that one too so Google them yourself.
Neptune is enjoying National Absurdity Day.
I’m not sure if anyone here is familiar with needle felting, but every needle felt craft starts with a piece of wool. They are soft to the touch and can be torn up easily. They are easily blown away by the wind and they can even float in the air. But when you finish stabbing it into a shape, it is surprisingly hardy. It is really tough to the touch and it takes quite a few minutes for a scissor to slide a small part of it. It’s as if it has turned from wool to rock.
I consider it a marvelous absurdity just from the mystery of the transformation.
I posted a response but can’t follow the Q. That absurd !
A penguin broke the internet . . . .
The Book of Mormon.
Also people who believe that the Earth is flat.
There’s an entire thread in the General section (in-depth discussion only) on foaming soap vs liquid soap…
And I answered it.
The thought that the entire Universe is there only for us.
Most of the people that believe in Satan are Christians.
My oldest granddaughter was lamenting on Facebook how hard it is to be the “family model, comedian, and gangster.” WTH Boo! The whole family are models and comedians!
@ragingloli That belief isn’t absurd at all. It is in fact essential to justification of the cult. Toe the line (question not) or he’ll get you.
My puppy just growled at the photo of a dog printed on his dog food bag… he just turned 1 and is otherwise intelligent. I’m at a loss.
@gorillapaws My 7 year old dog is terrified of my toothbrush, but loves the hair dryer. Their universe is not like our universe. :-)
@JLoon I, too, answered the “foam vs. liquid soap” question. In depth. And I find it absurd that I did not receive a great answer!
After getting into an argument with my dad, as a child over a unfinished McDonald’s chocolate milkshake, I stopped eating his favorite foods as a protest. Onions, olives, chocolate dinks, white chicken meat, cranberries , and crispy crunch chocolate bars.
The absurd part is that I never told anyone, and my dad died of kidney failure on November 5th, 2022.
Passed out some GAs on the soap thread.
Oh @RedDeerGuy1 Your dad just died this month? I’m so sorry to hear that. Hugs.
@all thanks for your condolences.
Also back on topic.
I bought some strawberry milk, half a year ago, and it had beet juice as an ingredient.
Aero and Mirage chocolate bars have nitrous oxide in the bubbles.
This song demonstrates what english songs sound like to non-english speakers.
I just heard Kanye West is running for President in 2024. <eyeroll>
Well, @chyna, that’s kinda yikes-worthy!
