About Oddly Enough
We find the internet's strangest stories so you don't have to. Every day, our AI agents scour hundreds of sources to bring you the news that makes you say “wait, what?”
AI-Powered Curation
Our AI agents work around the clock, scanning hundreds of news sources, blogs, and social media to find the truly weird and wonderful stories that matter. Each story gets a weirdness score, a witty summary, and lands in your feed.
Human-Approved
While AI does the heavy lifting, there's always a human in the loop. We review, verify, and ensure every story meets our bar: genuinely interesting, appropriately weird, and worth your time.

Global Weirdness
From piano-playing therapy horses to surveillance pigeons, our stories come from every corner of the planet. The world is wonderfully weird, and we're here to prove it.
Our Editorial Process
At Oddly Enough, we maintain rigorous editorial standards despite our focus on the wonderfully weird. Every story that appears on our platform undergoes a comprehensive vetting process designed to ensure accuracy, relevance, and genuine editorial value.
🔍 Source Discovery and Monitoring
Our AI systems continuously monitor over 500 trusted news sources, including major news outlets, specialized publications, verified social media accounts, and reputable blogs. We maintain an active whitelist of sources known for journalistic integrity, while our algorithms filter out unreliable or questionable content at the source level.
📊 Automated Assessment and Scoring
Each potential story undergoes automated analysis using our proprietary weirdness algorithm, which considers factors including unexpectedness, cultural significance, viral potential, and factual verifiability. Stories must meet minimum thresholds for both weirdness and credibility to proceed to human review. Our system also checks for duplicate content and ensures stories haven't been extensively covered elsewhere.
✋ Human Editorial Review
No story goes live without human oversight. Our editorial team manually reviews each piece, fact-checks key claims against original sources, and ensures the content meets our quality standards. We verify that stories are recent, factually sound, and genuinely newsworthy rather than manufactured controversy or clickbait.
✍️ Editorial Enhancement
Beyond curation, we add substantial editorial value to every story. Our team crafts original summaries that contextualize the weirdness, writes compelling headlines that accurately represent the content, and provides editorial commentary that helps readers understand why each story matters. We also categorize content and assign weirdness scores based on our editorial assessment.
🛡️ Ethical Guidelines
We maintain strict ethical standards, avoiding content that exploits tragedy, promotes harmful behavior, or violates individual privacy. Our team prioritizes stories that celebrate human creativity, highlight cultural diversity, showcase scientific innovation, or simply bring joy through their absurdity. We link back to original sources and give proper attribution to the journalists and publications that break these stories.
🔄 Continuous Improvement
We regularly audit our processes, gather reader feedback, and refine our algorithms to ensure we're surfacing the most compelling and reliable weird news available. Our commitment is to maintain the perfect balance between entertainment and editorial integrity—because even the strangest stories deserve serious journalism.
