What do they mean by "fake arrow decals?" They're real arrow decals. Just not helpful ones.

Did they book him for graffiti or something? This doesn't sound super illegal

thereisnews.com is a satirical site and not actual news

I mean, I'd believe that both someone else did it and someone couldn't get out after.

Woo!

This makes me happy! I've been working to re-engage my skepticism, and called this one!

huh?

I first added a link to "https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/02/11/fact-check-viral-ikea-story-social-distancing-arrows-satire/6709720002/"

and said that the page is allegedly a satirical site.

but the site says that it's satirical on the frontpage, so it wasn't really nessecary to have all of that 😅

Ah, I understand. I do think the edit note is a bit confusing and unnecessary, though

I wonder if you could get charged with manslaughter if someone very dehydrated got lost in the labyrinth and died of thirst

Don't arrest him. Make this guy speaker of the house!

It's like using vim as your text editor.

Vim user: What are arrows?

I think they mean hjgk

Imagine seeing H, K, and L on the floor of a computer shop during the pandemic to direct foot traffic.

Edit: obviously my dumb joke is dumb. I guess an H would need an underline. To fix this inelegance, you could just use only Js.

That's just how a regular IKEA is. Poor guy arrested for doing his job!

As if this is even needed. Getting lost in Ikea is part of their layout. He probably got arrested because it accidentally showed people the exit.

I thought decals would be a video game development term. Is it not?

No a decal is any kind of graphic printed on things. Like the Police livery on cop cars or the advertisement on Nascar cars

It is used in game engines and 3d modeling tools, but the term is much older taken from something being stuck on something else, like a sticker.
