I hope that someone got paid for this. It's funny when it's transparent advertising but if it was just enthusiasm for ikea then it would just be sad.

You realise there are entire blogs worth of Ikea hacks and Ikea organisation and Ikea fandom out there right? Ikea actually tried to shut the most popular one down.

People are weirdly obsessed with it. That said, I am going to Ikea in a couple of hours. :v:

Use a can of tuna like an obnoxious moron to stink the place out and render the tuna itself probably inedible.
You can probably get a whole pack of tealights for the price of one can of tuna, but I guess tealights won't produce that lovely smell that titillates the senses like only a tin of burning oily fish can do.

Coming soon, the surströmming chandelier and the lutefisk spotlight.

Just buy a loving headlamp or led flashlight. They are like $5-10 dollars these days and produce more light and can last the whole night if need be.

#life hack die in a nation park and they pay for the funeral. But don't get nation park and forest confused. In a national forest they charge your family for retrieving the corpse and don't pay for the funeral.

I worked in a national park years ago and a lot of people kill themselves there :smith:

Toilet paper tends to be more expensive than a box of tissues anyway. :psyduck:

I'm no scientist, but wouldn't that increase the surface area so the soap actually melts faster?

If your choices are shave soap or pay outrageous prices for travel soaps, I guess I could see how that might save you a few bucks over a lifetime.

#lifehack: instead of buying travel soaps, cut a chunk off your already existing bar of soap!

additional #lifehack: instead of tossing money at Big Soap, boil hog fat with hardwood ash and pour the resulting slurry into a mold. Straight dope: free soap!

Real #lifehack: use liquid soap in a pump bottle so your soap doesn't melt in the shower and it won't have pubic hair and soap-resistant bacteria crusted onto it!

Oh, and Jones was there too.

I've seen my granddad buy massive bars of carbolic soap at the local carboot and then he just shaves bits off with a razor blade when he wants it, but he is around 85. So... #lifehack: shave bits off your soap with a razor blade if it's too big to fit into the sink otherwise?

Not that it stops him having to buy decent soap anyway, grandma won't touch it.

Use razors to slice up your wrists and never have to bathe again.

Paint a thing to give it colour.

Also, this is apparently a kid's room. Which is why it is decorated with a sushi cookbook and one featuring what appears to be 30 Italian recipes. Pretty sure the other book is also full of recipes, but it is in a moon language so I don't really know.

And does Ikea also sell paint, or do I have to go to another store to get the paint swatches to stick on the wall? Why don't I get this important information beforehand so I know if I have to make two trips instead of one before I lower my property value?

VVVV Nah, that's pretty safe. Once you get 244 of them together, then you could have some problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hwLHdBTQ7s
