Fun fact: before it went digital, the ikea catalogue was the most printed book of all time, ahead of the bible and the quran. Google says two hundred million copies a year.

No idea where this picture was taken, because they all look similar, and the price isn't enough to tell.

On a related note, I don't get why blahaj (blue shark) is a meme.

e: is it the colours or is it because shark = fish as in presenting as very feminine?

Same colours as the trans pride flag (blue / white / rosé). Plus it looks dorky as heck and thus Blåhaj is top notch meme material.

Plus it’s an affordable giant plushie, so it’s great for people who want something big and soft to cuddle, like say trans people on new hormones going through big emotions.

Plus Blahaj was used in an ikea ad supporting gay marriage, plus Blahaj had already become a meme like ten years back because of russian people thinking theyre goofy

Poland. Where LGBT+ isn't particularly welcome.

I was shocked but later felt well. This mock room is right next to the main entrance.
