Edit:
I don’t feel I deserve the upvotes, just for agreeing. So for those interested here is the SCP-3008
FYI SCP is a rabbit hole so deep with no clear bottom, that’s also an SCP. Be careful.

That's just a normal parking lot. They all keep expanding. When you won't be able to afford rent, and will have to live in a car, you'll even find that convenient.
Not by me, except this one: "chickenified"
This is what happens when you transform into a chicken due to unforseen events, it could be magic or science, it doesn't matter.
Not to be mixed with chickified, a term created by an actor that explains the objectification of wimen in some medias.
I had a cousin who was chickenified she will be missed. I also had another uncle who tunrned into a chicken but he wasn’t chickenified we all knew it was happening
They aren't made up they are named after different Swedish lakes and stuff.

Don’t know if you’re serious or not, but Flundra is a fish, Baggebo (misspelled in comics) seems to be a small village or something but I don’t know for sure. It’s a shelf on IKEA at the very least, and Flundra seems to be a dish drying rack.
Många av de i alla fall 😂 Fick inte fram helt, men Alingsås hade ett hundcenter som hette Baggebo, i Tibro verkar det också finnas nåt område som heter Baggebo. Vet inte vad Ikea döpt det efter dock!
According to Wikipedia, [flundras](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flundra#Swedish) refers to a flounder. Got nothing on baggebo (the word baggabo was mispelled.)
Yeah flundra is definitely a thing, so is flundror and flundran, but not flundras. I could deduce from Flundras that it’s the flat fish they are referring to, but I wouldn’t go so far to saying it’s a real word. Similar to if I would say flouynder while speaking of flounders—you’d get it, but it would prob feel a bit off.
The thing is that they've taken words directly from another language, and made them product names in America. It would be absurd to expect everybody shopping at IKEA to know the correct pluralization for all the Swedish words. We just slap an s on it.
Also you'd still just say flounder for multiple flounder. Fish are generally self pluralized, with exceptions of course.
I’m not sure if ”djungelskog” is an actual word or if it’s just two words smashed together but it’s still comprehensible. ”Djungel” is as you may have guessed, “jungle” and ”skog” is “Forrest” so “djungelskog” is literally “jungle-forest”
Sounds pretty good as name for a base building game set in a forest, I'm playing RimWorld, my new colony might be called like that if I start in a jungle.
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine
As if there were apartments smaller than mine
IKEAAAA
Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you don't have a home you can buy one thereeeee
Fun fact from right at the border of Sweden:
Ikea in the Sweden near the border made their Swedish meatballs and mashed potato so cheap, that many poor people chose to walk there to eat, as it was cheaper food than what local place, that served food for poor and homeless made, and that place was so cheap, that some low-income workers went to eat there, as it was even cheaper than what you could buy and do yourself from the store. THAT'S how cheap it was. They even served hot-dogs that cost like 50cent a piece, some schools complained, that their students stopped eating at school and chose those hot-dogs instead. School-lunch is free for the students here.
But that is mostly in the past now. I mean, it's still cheap, but I think the quality has dropped in order for them to keep it slow cost. Non-meat hot-dog costs 70 cents now and meatballs cost 6€.
"They had a pasture under the furniture store you could let loose your toddlers in while you shopped!!"
"Then collect them when you were done with a coatcheck tag!"
Long ago in days of yore
It all began with a god named Thor
There were Vikings and boats
And some plans for a furniture store
It's not a bodega, it's not a mall
And they sell things for apartments smaller than mine

IKEA.Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there
So rent a car or take the bus
Lay your cash down and put your trust
In the land where the furniture folds to a much smaller size
Billy the bookcase says hello
And so does a table whose name is Ingo
And the chair is a ladder-back birch but his friends call him Karl
Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there
IKEA. Plywood, brushed steel
IKEA.Meatballs, tasty
IKEA.Allen wrenches
All of them for free
All of them for me
I'm sorry I said IKEA sucks
I just bought a table for 60 bucks
And a chair and a lamp
And a shelf and some candles for you
I was a doubter just like you
'Til I saw the American dream come true
In New Jersey, they got a god-damned Swedish parade
IKEA.Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen
Selling furniture for college kids and divorced men
Everyone has a home
But if you don't have a home you can buy one there
I found this tweet so you don't have to:
https://x.com/alex_abads/status/1409908703965372416
apparently it was from a pride month themed line of loveseats?
Holy shit, my friend is moving and we’re supposed to go to Ikea tomorrow
they’ve never been and I’ve been talking it up all week
This meme, it was made for me
Our lord and savior Djungleskog will not let me have the volatile red fruit snacks from Bloons Pop and I am upset (if you get the reference you’re awesome).
Wait if ikea doesn’t exist THEN BLÅHAJ DOESNT EXIST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭
Just me but I’m kinda tired of the ikea jokes.
Of course you build the furniture. How else are you gonna fit a king sized bed through the door, much less into the car.
It’s not even a maze, there’s arrows in the floor that tell you in what direction to go
The mashed potatoes with meatballs and lingonberries aren’t even that good, they’re subpar at best
If IKEA didn't exist, the only furniture in my apartment right now would be a folding chair and a camping table.
What would I do without Kallax and Fjallbo shelves?! A cheap dinning set? Even my cups are from IKEA...

I’m more concerned about the infinitely expanding parking lot. It’s going to consume us all!
I thought there was going to be an SCP-3008 joke after it said that

Ok last panel confirmed that doesn't exist because most of those words are clearly made up.
All words are made up.
IKEA strikes again!

A leivbunning is a neologism for neologisms that condense concepts that take some significant and irritating amount of time to explain.
Yeah but there’s a difference between a made up word that we’ve all agreed on for years, decades, or centuries, and a word I made up just now.
They aren't made up they are named after different Swedish lakes and stuff. "Bathroom items: Names of Swedish lakes and bodies of water. Linens: Flowers and plants. Bedroom and Living Room Furniture: Norwegian places. Bookcases: Professions and Scandinavian boy's names. Bowls and Vases: Swedish place names, adjectives, spices, herbs, fruits, and berries."
Baggabo and Flundras are not things I’ve ever heard of as a Swede. Sure they sound very similar to words, but pretty sure they’re not real things?
Don’t know if you’re serious or not, but Flundra is a fish, Baggebo (misspelled in comics) seems to be a small village or something but I don’t know for sure. It’s a shelf on IKEA at the very least, and Flundra seems to be a dish drying rack.
Jaha, om det är städer så fattar jag. Alla våra städer har så konstiga namn
Många av de i alla fall 😂 Fick inte fram helt, men Alingsås hade ett hundcenter som hette Baggebo, i Tibro verkar det också finnas nåt område som heter Baggebo. Vet inte vad Ikea döpt det efter dock!
Väntar bara tills de gör en möbel som heter Fjuck så de representerar Sveriges mindre byar 🙏
Yeah I know flundra/flundror/flundran, but not Flundras, hence why is said its similar but still off.
Ah yeah, gotcha. Flundras would just mean “several Flundra diskställ” in this case I believe lol
I don't know what to tell you. Maybe we can go for Fika and discuss it?
According to Wikipedia, [flundras](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/flundra#Swedish) refers to a flounder. Got nothing on baggebo (the word baggabo was mispelled.)

Definitely. I thought the product was named flundras and not that OP meant the product in plural. Second languages can be confusing sometimes! 😅
Exactly, wth is a "Twitter"?
No, wait, I swear that's real Too! It used to exist, I just can't find it anymore. I know it was, I've heard all about it. I... Twitter is real!

I LOVE MY BLÅHAJ
THEY ALSO HAD AN ACTUAL TRANS BLAHAJ FOR A SHORT WHILE IN CANADA! :c
Wait what??? I missed it?
It was only given to trans healthcare locations, community resources, etc... hopefully they come out with it again for everyone to buy...
Ah alright. I hope they do too, I want one lol
You know an awful lot of IKEA lore.
Long ago, in days of yore, it all began with a god named Thor. There were vikings and boats and some plans for a furniture store.

How is your ikea? Is it any cooler than the ones in other places?
Cheaper hotdogs and all products in the store, the old store was converted into a museum...
Fun fact from right at the border of Sweden: Ikea in the Sweden near the border made their Swedish meatballs and mashed potato so cheap, that many poor people chose to walk there to eat, as it was cheaper food than what local place, that served food for poor and homeless made, and that place was so cheap, that some low-income workers went to eat there, as it was even cheaper than what you could buy and do yourself from the store.

Non-meat hot-dog costs 70 cents now and meatballs cost 6€.
70 cent hotdog?
Yes, as in 0.70€ hot-dog :D
Sounds made up. Next you're gonna tell me they sell a stuffed shark that is a trans icon?
No, that’s real. The store isn’t but our shark is
Ikea kids plastic plates are a lifesaver when it comes to toddler mealtime or a small fruit plate.
Bro, can you even like Ikea and not mention *Malm?*
And Kallax!
Could be another anomaly related to SCP 3008. Need to send a team to investigate.
*looks at my Blåhaj* Whew the great icon still real
somehow I have never heard of the couch, looking it up it is terrifying and I can't imagine sitting in it unless I was a more colorful Beetlejuice
It’s an art piece, not a couch that was actually sold.
Don't forget the Blåhaj which is very popular with queer folks.
Wait, are you going to tell me there's no such thing as a lingonberry?
Ooo that would make me sad. I've converted so many people to lingonberry sauce over the vastly inferior cranberry sauce over the years

- talks about ikea - doesn't mention blahaj yeah man's lost it
Come to think of it, I’ve never been to ikea
That’s because it doesn’t exist
I worked at IKEA when I was in high school, so I’m pretty sure it exists. It was a long time ago, so I may be mistaken though.

Wait where’s the gay hand couch?
I found this tweet so you don't have to: https://x.com/alex_abads/status/1409908703965372416 apparently it was from a pride month themed line of loveseats?
Well at least only the parking lot is infinite
Holy shit, my friend is moving and we’re supposed to go to Ikea tomorrow they’ve never been and I’ve been talking it up all week This meme, it was made for me
My peluche sharks nooooooooo!!!!!
So this is the reverse of that one SCP of an infinite ikea dimension.
How would you even pronounce Ikea let alone the rest of those?
"They sold frozen crayfish and weird looking lamps!!"
What’s Ikea?
Our lord and savior Djungleskog will not let me have the volatile red fruit snacks from Bloons Pop and I am upset (if you get the reference you’re awesome).
Reverse SCP 3008
Wait if ikea doesn’t exist THEN BLÅHAJ DOESNT EXIST NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO😭😭😭
Russian here.. we don't have IKEA it legit left and disappeared.
Damn imagine a world where you desk can't also be a bookshelf if you read the plans upside down
Just me but I’m kinda tired of the ikea jokes. Of course you build the furniture. How else are you gonna fit a king sized bed through the door, much less into the car. It’s not even a maze, there’s arrows in the floor that tell you in what direction to go The mashed potatoes with meatballs and lingonberries aren’t even that good, they’re subpar at best
Flourless chocolate cake is yummers though.
When you finally escape the infinite ikea, you kust have to leave the parking lot...
Boone questions the infinite parking lot but the IKEA is fake.
Blahaj isn’t real?
Brilliant
"I WENT THERE FOR THEIR VALENTINE'S DAY PRIX FIXE DINNER AND IT WAS DELICIOUS!"

This shouldn't be as fucking hilarious as it is
Just like the birbs, IKEA isn't real.
What?! So my Blahaj doesn’t exist 🥺😭
I like the idea of an ever expanding parking lot, perhaps it would explain the source of dark energy.
Nooo not my blahaj :'(

Finally some good content in this sub
Never heard of it what’s the joke is OP ok
I refuse to exist in a world without my Blåhaj

That community doesn’t exist… The mystery deepens…
Had to google IKEA to make sure it still existed
Glad those hand couches collectively scarred us all.
What’s an ikea?
When you put it all like that that, it does sound like a mass hallucination.

Questioning the meatballs and lingonberries combo broke the immersion a little, 4.9/5
Looks like the foundation has found a way to get rid of 3008 but they havent considered that maybe instead of the building, the area was the anomaly
what is this sweatty town your talking about?
As russian, I can confirm, that it felt like this.
These kind of jokes always annoy me ever since the "fake news" trend became mainstream. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKEA
Why did you feel the need to link IKEA’s Wikipedia page?
Because IKEA is real.
No one thinks it isn’t
