After a weeklong trek across central Nova Scotia, the crowd-controlled Internet Roadtrip has reached the Halifax area, and for some reason the first thing they voted to do was to visit IKEA neal.fun/internet-roadtrip

Because IKEA! """IKEA! Just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norsemen IKEA! 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'm no longer allowed to sing that at IKEA or my partner will make us leave IKEA.)

I hadn't heard of internet road trip before and I was dumb for a second and thought they were actually remote driving a car. I was like "how is it they haven't hit anyone?!" Then I realized I was an idiot

Halifax had an IKEA when I was a kid - it was the first IKEA in Canada IIRC. We'd go there from NB to visit my big sister and hit the IKEA while we were there: it was actually a trip destination for some people. Then it closed, and came back in 2017.
