Topic: is it true that...

It is designed in Sweden, but I don't think it's made there.  It seems too cheap.  Just checked wikipedia and I was right:

Although IKEA household products and furniture are designed in Sweden, they are largely manufactured in developing countries to keep costs down. With suppliers in 50 countries, roughly ⅔ of purchasing is from Europe, with about ⅓ from Asia; a small amount of products are produced in North America. Comparatively little production actually takes place in Sweden, though it still remains the fourth-largest supplier country (behind China, Poland and Italy). China accounts for about 2½ times as much supply as Sweden. For most of its products, the final assembly is performed by the end-user (consumer).

No, it's made in your living room.

Or garage, but damn that wit is quick D.

Horse meat is to meatballs what particleboard is to furniture.  I see zero conflict in Ikea's culinary policies or their design execution.

Ikea should sell fajitas or any food that requires the customer to put it together themselves.

I have no problem with horse meat. I'd knowingly eat it if given the chance, but I think it's bad form to start serving strange meats without warning a customer first.

That's what you get when you blindly trust a bunch of commie bastards like the Swedes.

Fish like milk?

Fish like milk?

doubt it, I believe when milk is put in water it removes the oxygen and therefore "drowns " the fish.

[6pairsofshoes]

How does that happen?  Does milk contain a substance that binds with the oxygen?  That makes me wonder:  how do fish breathe in water anyway?  Do their gills break the bonds of the hydrogen and oxygen in the water or is there unbonded oxygen in the water?

BTW, I was thinking of the comic, Fun with Reid Fleming, World's Toughest Milkman.

milk contains no H20

And fat!

That makes me wonder:  how do fish breathe in water anyway?  Do their gills break the bonds of the hydrogen and oxygen in the water or is there unbonded oxygen in the water?

Internet says that, like humans with air, oxygen is extracted from the surrounding water.  Gas exchange happens at the gills, where O₂ is taken in and CO₂ is released.  Like land lubbers. There is no chemical reaction taking place to break up the H₂O because oxygen itself already exists in the water.

They think they're people.

I don't know anything about fishes and aquaria, but I know that this is not true. Milk is nearly all H20.

my bad

Milk contains large amounts of proteins, sugars and fats, which are a valuable
food source for naturally occurring aquatic organisms including bacteria, fungi
and algae.
Usually the limited food supply in the water reduces or restricts the
population and growth of these naturally occurring organisms. A milk spill
however is an unlimited food source, and this results in a population explosion.
As the organisms break down the milk they use oxygen from the water. As the
population increases, the oxygen level decreases leaving none for the fish that are
present, causing them to suffocate.

That's all very well and good.  But the question wasn't whether milk or its consequences were good for fish.  It concerned whether or not they liked it.

Plenty of us like stuff that's bad for us.  Why should fish be an exception?

[chekovsulu]

I think we need to run our own experiment.  I couldn't find the answer within the first page of the internet search engine results.

I think Piranhas might like milk.
