I made a pilgrimage and got my very own blahaj a few days ago and let me tell you, it is even softer than I expected.

The fabled Blahaj cuddle pile.

Now I finally understand the instance name.

i can absolutely relate, my friend bought me one and they're way softer than anyone ever expects. i swear they put melatonin in them.

What's up with the popularity of those

Unsure if this is sarcasm or not, but the name of this instance is also what IKEA calls that stuffed animal - BLÅHAJ (pronounced blow high, translates directly to blue shark).

No I know, but that's part of the same meme, I wonder where the whole popularity comes from

[–] LazyCorvid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Afaik, it became a trans symbol because it has the same colors as the trans flag. (Blue, pink and white)

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Huh. I guess it does. Would make sense

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 year ago

Its a trans symbol now but to add - its large in size, which makes it more appealing to adults. Also, trans people are a demographic that deeply enjoys stuffed animals.

god i really want a blahaj
