Ridiculous and Absurd describe things the same ! :) " This situation is completely absurd! " Or if you said, " This situation is completely ridiculous" People will understand it the same.

Yes, they mean almost the same thing. By the way, I often see ridiculous spelled incorrectly as "rediculous". Don't do that!

"Ridiculous" and "absurd" are similar in meaning.
"Ridiculous" usually implies that it's so weird people will laugh.
"absurd" implies that the idea is inappropriate or doesn't make sense.

But they're mostly the same.

Thank you, all of you for your answers!!
And, thank you, GregoryM for the warning! Actually, I thought "rediculous" was the correct form. 😱
