FAQ

Frequently Asked (and Absurd) Questions

Is The Daily Dope a legitimate news source?

Absolutely not. We are, however, a legitimate source of satirical commentary on the news. Think of us as the court jesters of the internet, here to point out the emperor’s embarrassing lack of clothes. Our articles are based on real-world events, but our conclusions are, shall we say, creatively unhinged. If you’re looking for facts, we suggest checking a different website. If you’re looking for a good laugh at the expense of internet culture, you’ve come to the right place.

Where do you get your “useless news” from?

Our intelligence-gathering operation is a highly-classified, multi-platform endeavor. We scour the deepest, most ridiculous corners of TikTok, read the most bizarre Reddit threads, and have a highly-trained intern whose sole job is to watch three-hour infomercials. We believe that true insight lies not in the headlines, but in the comments section and the forgotten viral videos of yesteryear. Our sources are mostly unreliable, but the content is pure gold.

Is Miles Corbin a real person?

That’s a question of philosophy, isn’t it? Miles Corbin is more of an entity. He is the culmination of all the hours we’ve spent watching cat videos, arguing about the complexity of Taylor Swift’s lyrics, and wondering if an AI could write better jokes than us. He exists in your heart, in our servers, and possibly in a very comfortable knit sweater somewhere. He’s the hero we never asked for, but probably needed.

Can I submit an article idea?

Please do! If you have an idea for an article that explores the social dynamics of an un-emptied dishwasher, the secret life of lost socks in the dryer, or any other topic of cosmic importance, send us a message through our contact page. If it’s absurd enough, we might just write about it. We’re always on the lookout for new, ridiculously niche content.

Are your articles SEO optimized?

Yes. Our team of highly-caffeinated SEO experts has spent years perfecting the art of optimization for keywords like “how to fix an inner feeling of dread” and “why does my cat stare at me.” We are confident our keyword strategy is the best, especially if you’re trying to rank for phrases like “the worst celebrity puns.” Our goal is to be on Google’s first page, even if it’s for something completely useless.

I found a typo. Are you embarrassed?

Embarrassed? No. We prefer to call it “intentional low-fi humor.” Every typo, every misplaced comma, is a subtle nod to the beautiful chaos of the internet. If you feel compelled to correct us, we welcome your feedback. We’ll just file it in our “things we’ll get to eventually” folder, right next to our plans for world domination.

How can I support The Daily Dope?

The best way to support us is to simply read, share, and laugh. Tell your friends about the useless news that matters. Forward our articles to your coworkers when you’re supposed to be working. Your engagement and willingness to embrace the absurdity of it all is our greatest reward. You are our people.
