On//20, a researcher, hereafter referred to as D-12654, was allowed to read SCP-3008 aloud as part of a controlled experiment. D-12654 became fixated on constructing a specific piece of furniture, a POÄNG chair. Despite attempts to intervene, D-12654 continued to construct the chair, eventually completing it in a matter of minutes.
SCP-3008 is a script for a television commercial for IKEA, recorded on a standard VHS tape. The script, written in Swedish, appears to be a standard advertisement for IKEA's furniture and home decor products. However, when acted upon, SCP-3008 induces a powerful anomalous effect.
When an individual reads or recites the script aloud, they will begin to experience a strong compulsion to construct IKEA furniture, regardless of their prior interest or experience with such activities. The individual will feel an overwhelming urge to visit an IKEA store, purchase specific furniture items listed in the script, and then construct them according to the provided instructions. SCP-3008 Script
Testing has revealed that SCP-3008 can be used in conjunction with other anomalous scripts to create complex, IKEA-based reality distortions. Further research is required to fully understand the potential applications and risks of this discovery.
On//20, a researcher, hereafter referred to as D-9881, was allowed to read SCP-3008 aloud as part of a controlled experiment. D-9881 became increasingly agitated and fixated on constructing IKEA furniture, eventually abandoning the testing chamber and fleeing to an IKEA store.
