IKEA Bought TaskRabbit and the Internet Reactions Are In

September 28, 2017 4:07 PM EDT

The Internet’s having a ball with the news that IKEA is buying TaskRabbit.

The deal will make TaskRabbit, the online marketplace people use to hire “rabbits” to help with anything from moving to odd jobs, an independent subsidiary of IKEA, according to the tech news site Recode.

One of the ways TaskRabbit helps its customers with general task avoidance is by connecting them with people who can take care of the dreaded task of putting your desk together.

So naturally, the news was ripe fodder for Twitter users who quickly leapt online to joke about IKEA’s latest move.

The furniture assembly connection is the only talking point that matters. See below for the best reactions to the news.

still no flying cars but uh now Ikea owns the company that assembles your furniture for you https://t.co/cMeJIgDZgH

I always wondered why IKEA was not monetizing the ecosystem around itself. I guess now don’t have to anymore. https://t.co/9ume2n2v4v

The nugget in this story about TaskRabbit being for small jobs like "making a trip to IKEA" is incredible given IKEA just bought TaskRabbit. https://t.co/Jrhx22o2uC

Does this mean some poor souls at Task Rabbit have to make a career out of deciphering Ikea hieroglyphics/instructions every day, all day? https://t.co/TE5a5yZoxa

Looks like #IKEA bought #taskrabbit. So you can hire someone to buy your groceries, but you have to assemble him first.
