As a Swede currently living in California who also has visited IKEA in several different countries I can report that the general experience of visiting IKEA is pretty much as stressful and disorienting here as in Sweden. There are some local variations in the product portfolio both due to different standards like in bed sizes and kitchen and cultural differences. You cannot find a cheese slicer in my nearest IKEA and…

The Swedes are using cheese slicers too? I always thought the Dutch were the only people in the world to use cheese slicers.

Yes, but it was invented by a Norwegian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Bj%C3%B8rklund

it says "talk about anything". How could you prank that ?

Men furiously masterbating on the other end of the line might ruin the experience for a few people.

Depends on the people, doesn't it?

What exactly do you mean?

The far-right in Sweden have a habit of creating fake accounts in the purpose of spreading racist propaganda.

The Swedish left has gone completely off the rails, to the point where merely addressing a demographic shift gets you accused of spreading "racist propaganda". When the Swedish authorities cover up mass sexual assaults because they were committed by a particular group, that's not propaganda, that's just good work - we wouldn't want those imaginary SS divisions to take advantage of such inconvenient realities.

Finn here. How else are you supposed to slice cheese?

Knife i guess or buy factory sliced. Most cheeses in america is a bit to soft to slice with a cheese slicer anyway.

The abuse of the @Sweden Twitter account is obvious -- just look at the lebanese immigrant Elias Kreidy who wrote “I’m the immigrant f king your daughter while you’re trying to sleep ignoring her moans calling me ‘daddy'”. Now imagine this guy answering a phone line as an ambassador for the country! NSFW article about the tweet: http://www.infowars.com/im-the-immigrant-fking-your-daughter...

This site seems to be run by a conspiracy theorist [1]. Next time a more reasonable source would probably be in order. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_%28radio_host%29

Use Google Translate. Obviously English sources for Swedish news is hard to find. It is, afaik, not the first the time @sweden account has been used for trolling by douches.

Yes, and so do you. Sweden actually does have a statistics bureau. And they do make statistics. They just wrap them up real discreet. Native swedes are becoming a minority in Malmø, the third largest city in Sweden, and apparently home turf for one of the Brussels bombers.

Please provide links to the data and numbers in that case.

Ok, I'm not sure why I was downvoted for a simple question, but thanks HN! Way to encourage open discussion.

I upvoted you on both your comments because of the unfairness of downvotes without explanation. I can find nothing wrong with your comment.

Ditto. I hate when that happens, so upvoted as well

And for the record: The cheese slicers sold at IKEA are horrible, slicing way too thick slices.

Can't wait to see what /b/ will do with that.

I'm not Swedish but I'm living in Sweden. This past weekend, my girlfriend, who is Swedish, wanted to participate in this phone number thing. I told her it was a terrible idea and I had to show her /b/ to convince her.

/b/ is actually educational when it comes to showing people the really bad face of the internet.
