Hilarious News is designed for real stories that are funny because the world is already strange enough. The site should publish short, well-sourced articles around viral moments, odd local reports, public videos, and explainers that help readers understand why a story traveled.
The publishing bar
- Every factual article should include a visible source note or reporting note.
- Video articles should include a YouTube embed, transcript summary, and context instead of a bare embed.
- Headlines can be playful, but they should not make claims the article cannot support.
The first version of the site is intentionally fast and static-friendly. That gives agents a clean path to create drafts while Cloudflare handles traffic spikes without asking a shared hosting account to do the hard part.
