The internet is brimming with clever do-it-yourself content that awakens the inner jewelry designer and electrician in people who would otherwise leave it to the professionals. Well subreddit r/DiWHY is proof that some amateurs out there should really think twice before diving head-first into that new crafting hobby. Check out these laughable DIY repairs and designs that range from mildly dumb to downright dangerous.

Meet Djunkelskog, Ikea's stuffed bear that apparently became all the rage recently after @stargazeridiot tweeted, "I don't want a man I just want a Dujngelskog," along with a couple pics of the big stuffed bear. People have since been replying to the tweet with photos of their own Djungelskogs, or comments about how much they want a Djungelskog of their own. 

Now click here if you want to buy a Djungelskog of your very own for just $35 (not sponsored)!

Stuck in meetings all day? Trying to finish your homework at the last minute right before class? Whether you're a student or a drone of an office worker just trying to make it through the day, you're probably at least marginally stressed out, and we understand that. Take these memes as our condolences.

How do you make a soap opera parody even better? By filming the whole thing in a Burbank Ikea and calling it "Ikea Heights." 9 years have passed since the series first made its way to Youtube, but this 7 part web series is still full of laughs. Bonus: fans of Fresh Off The Boat and The Office will instantly recognize Randall Park in his hilarious role of jilted husband. 

Boredom begone!

Fyrkantig, Sparsam, Dagstorp, Grundtal. Unless you speak Swedish, these words can only mean one thing: Ikea.

But no more. Ikea, who for years has named their comfortable, affordable, and dorm room-ready furniture by following a pretty strict system, is now in the trolling business, and business is good.

Last night, for reasons unknown, so for now we’ll just assume that they thought it would be funny, Ikea replaced the names of their products with common Google searches. So suddenly a thing like Lattjo becomes “My Family Doesn’t Respect Me” and Memnes becomes “My Friend Only Talks About Himself.”
