荒谬 (huāng miù) means 'absurd, ridiculous' and focuses on something that is logically unreasonable or contrary to common sense. It is stronger than 好笑 or 可笑, which emphasize being laughable. Compared to 荒唐 (which can also imply dissolute behavior), 荒谬 is more about intellectual absurdity; 荒诞 often describes fantastically absurd situations, like in fiction.
