Somewhere in the world (let’s be honest — usually Florida) hilariously bizarre things happen every day. So when some people say that the news is boring, we bet they probably never stumbled upon ridiculous, weird, and straight-up stupid stories that made it both to TV and print.

Thanks to the "Internet’s Craziest Headlines" Twitter account, these people might be proved wrong. From "China may be using sea to hide its submarines" to "Large cat spotted" to "Man sold TV to buy remote", the creators of this account bring the most bizarre collection of titles and captions for you to enjoy.

So get ready to witness a whole new level of absurdity because Bored Panda has selected some of the best posts this account had to offer. Continue scrolling and upvote the ones that made you scratch your head the most! After you’re done with this post, you can find some more headline goodness right here and here.

RELATED:

    Some say "You can’t judge a book by its cover", but it seems that plenty of people decide whether an article is worth reading or a news segment worth watching just by their titles. According to Brian Clark, the founder of Copyblogger, 8 out of 10 people will read the headline, but only 2 out of 10 will read the rest.

    After all, getting your title clicked on is hard work. It has to be specific, rewarding, and intriguing all at the same time. Plus, it has to be useful if your goal is to reach more people. The headline is the first (and sometimes the only!) impression you make on a potential reader.

    "Writing a great headline doesn’t guarantee the success of your writing. The benefit conveyed in the headline still needs to be properly satisfied in the body," Clark wrote. "But great body content with a bad or even marginal headline is doomed to go largely unread."

    So what I take from the comments is: If my GF or wife cheats on me it's OK to beat her into the hospital with life long injuries if she cheats. Or is that different because she's a woman? (Cheering for massive violence that isn't necessary is never a good thing)

    It’s not right to laugh at this, but I think women do find this funny in a way that may satisfy their want or need for revenge since justice for assault on women by men has been so slow-coming. Women grow up learning of and facing rape, gang rape, molestations, domestic violence, murder and other forms of violence so much more commonly done to women and girls. We learn how the perpetrators constantly escape justice and are sometimes even idolized (Trump, Dr. Dre, Don McLean, Bill Cosby, Bill Clinton, etc.). We grow up w jokes about beating women (what do you call a woman w two black eyes) and are taught how to use our car keys as a weapon. So, yeah - we might get a little laugh, a slight feeling of satisfaction, when a headline about a woman bursting open a man’s testicles comes up.

If a guy were to mutilate his wife's vagina for the same thing, people would be fn mortified and calling him a disgusting, hateful animal and demonizing him and calling for him to rot in fn prison. So FCK all of you hateful, shallow, totally hypocritical pieces of sh*t.

    Google female genital mutilation. It’s because men a) don’t know clitoral anatomy b) preemptively cut off a woman’s clit because they assume she will cheat.

    Some whore on here said before that men don't have to worry about stuff like this. That misandry doesn't affect men. I think they said that because if a man crushed a woman's tits for cheating it would be wrong. But this is somehow acceptable?

    Lina Survila, the editor in chief of Abstract Stylist online magazine, has years of experience working in the press. She told Bored Panda in a previous interview that "editors are often pressured to bring better results with each article, so headline wars have become the real deal today."

    She argued that there's a fine line between an informative headline and a fake one. “First, we all need to know that headlines play a big role in Google's ranking magic. Every editor has a wish for their article to reach the top position, meaning more clicks if a user is often searching for it," Lina explained.

    "So because an editor wants to reach more people, they end up using trendy keywords which result in misleading headlines," Lina said and added that it happens more often than you’d think.

    The founder of Abstract Stylist also mentioned that "clickbait headlines often mislead people, and those who do not bother to open the article might mislead other people too by spreading the wrong message. For example, recently, I read that K. Reaves is married to Winona Ryder, well, it was stated in the headline, and actually, they were married in the movie."

    However, it turns out that readers also contribute to spreading misleading information — some people share links on their social media feeds without ever reading what’s inside. In 2016, satirical news site The Science Post published an article with a troubling headline: "Study: 70% of Facebook users only read the headline of science stories before commenting". However, the body of the article contained nothing more than "lorem ipsum” placeholder text. But nearly 46K people shared the post.

    According to a study by computer scientists at Columbia University and the French National Institute, 59 percent of links shared on social media have never actually been opened and read.

    "People are more willing to share an article than read it," study co-author Arnaud Legout said. "This is typical of modern information consumption. People form an opinion based on a summary, or a summary of summaries, without making the effort to go deeper," he said.

    For those who don't know, this is Nikolas Cruz. He was the sole gunman who killed 17 people and injured 15 others at Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida USA on February 14, 2018. There is a youtube video of him sitting in the interrogation room trying to play off like he was psychologically damaged. Florida still has the death penalty and I believe he was trying to get off on an insanity plea. It obviously didn't work because he ended up pleading guilty to 34+ charges including 1st degree murder and 1st degree attempted murder.
