To points #4 (and #5), I feel like IKEA keeps backburning brash collections (e.g. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/maevinn-cushion-cover-stripe-multicolor-50574958) in contrast to their cool/calm/beige/minimalist Swede looks.

And yes, butter art...I bought butter socks last week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So true, IKEA has some hidden jester core gems. The iconic orange donut lamps (varmblixt??) are so fun and totally fit the bill too.

And omg I need butter socks! The obsession is so bad that my friend came over this week and thought the butter I had sitting out to soften was a candle 😂

*taking notes for my family holiday get togethers* If I'm dressed like this will they not kick me out for my hot takes?

😂 speaking from experience… my more ~out there~ fashion choices have not prevented arguments over family holiday dinners (in fact sometimes they start them). But I have yet to show up in full Jester Core attire. Please let me know the results if you try!

I was looking at the Pinterest trends “primary color” prediction and found it interesting but I find it WAY more interesting in the context of Jester Core. Also, I’m way less online because I’ve never heard of it but the way you broke it down deserves and award.

Yes I kind of feel like the Pinterest predictions are a bunch of micro niches that maybe tie into larger trends. The data scientist in me want to know whether they had a hierarchy of groupings in what I assume was their ML model :D

And thank you! To be fair I learned about Jester’s Privilege back when my TikTok screen time was embarrassingly high.
