humalien said: the sound in this room is so strange…
[Strange metal clinks, like the sound of metal being hit by a hammer, or being hit with other pieces of metal in general, accompany each footstep, along with the general sound of metal rubbing over other pieces of metal. The room’s acoustics make it all sound hollow though, like a far off echo.]
Okay so for anyone who doesn’t know what this room is, this is the Memory Void, and it’s in the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany. This installation is actually something you’re SUPPOSED to walk on. That’s half the point of the installation. Each metal face is meant to represent the faces and voices that were silenced by the atrocities of the concentration camps in World War 2. Stepping on them and making them sound out is meant to give the voiceless a voice, to force us to remember them.
Finally something is being done about fucking furries
For some that don’t know, this is actually a Japanese Zoo-keeper training program. People dressed up and act like animals while the zoo-keeper and guards try to catch them. It’s not furry cruelty. It’s just a training program for Japanese zoos. Read the article if you don’t believe me.
wow thanks for clearing that up i genuinely believed that swat teams were shooting furries with guns and throwing them in prison thank you for your clarification
a friend of mine linked this to me a while back, saying it was the funniest thing he’s ever watched. i watched it, chuckled a bit. didn’t think it was that funny. bit of a disappointment.
flashforward to two months later. i’m sitting in the library, dead silent. i’ve completely forgotten about this video until now, but then in my head i just hear the opening line, “hey there youtube, uh, stu here” pop up and i just lose it. i can’t stop laughing. i’m laughing the hardest i’ve ever laughed in my life. i’m desperately trying to stop laughing and i just can’t. people are staring, gawking at this poor man trying to suppress his laughter with some kind of contorted mixture of joy and horror on his face. i spent the next half an hour in a toilet cubicle, cackling to myself about a fucking spicy chipotle chicken pizza unboxing video, trying to calm myself down
please do not watch this video it is a ticking timebomb
my fave SCP is Geoff who is basically a regular guy who doesnt even work at the SCP foundation but just happens to keep wandering into high-security parts of the building by accident somehow and escapes containment the same way
like it says its an SCP on probation because they cant prove if he has some supernatural power or if hes just a guy who knows all of the passwords to the SCP foundation
I think my favorite part are the transcripts
“Commander Price: Alright people, it’s go time! I
want suppressing fire on this thing NOW! Neptune squadron, hit it with
everything you’ve got! If this thing gets one claw to the surface, then—
SCP-008-J: Hey, I remember you!
Commander Price: (Exasperated and enraged) FUCK!
SCP-008-J: Can you help me out? I’m a bit turned around. I’m trying to get to Grays Street.
Commander Price: WE’RE 3,000 METERS UNDER THE FUCKING OCEAN!
SCP-008-J: (Produces smartphone) Well that explains why my map won’t load.
Commander Price: WHO THE FLAMING CHRIST ARE YOU!?
SCP-008-J: Geoff, remember? Hey, are you on Facebook? I feel like I keep running into you! We should be friends!”
Geoff is tormenting this poor commander for no reason.
I like the non horror SCPs. Most of the horror ones are ok but the non horror ones are amazing.
My favorite one is a book that when you read it makes you fall asleep then you have an amazing fantasy adventure,
SCP-1230. It doesn’t steal the energy of people, it doesn’t make you die if you die while dreaming, it’s just the most kick ass adventure of your life.
Also it’s sad because the book tries as hard as it can to make people happy but one time this guy who is super into fantasy and stuff used and was asleep for like day and in the dream it was 200 years. The after he got out he killed himself because he just couldn’t take going back to the normal world. When that happened the book grew depressed and sad. The pages were wet as if someone had been crying on them and it keep saying it was sorry.
Eventually a researcher used a sticky note to communicate that he wanted to talk with it. He then fell asleep and met with the manifestation of the book in the dream world, he talked with him and was able to learn what happened and through visiting him and using sticky notes he was able to help it out and it eventually started displaying
“A hero is born” on its pages
again.
I LOVE THAT
One of my favorite SCP’s is this giant, old house that nobody dares to touch because they all think it’s haunted. Eventually, the researchers find that the house isn’t haunted, but hosts an inter-dimensional portal, and some sort of Lovecraftian horror is communicating with the tenants.
He’s not really evil or anything; he’s actually pretty laid back. It’s just that he’s just kind of racist against carbon-based life forms and is really passive-aggressive.
My favorite is the toaster that makes people talk about it in the first person. Even the entirety of the report is written as “I am a toaster. I toast bread just like any other toaster” People don’t even realize they’re doing this and there are no negative side effects they’ll just go right back to normal when they leave the toaster it’s ridiculous
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the site, but the more ‘mundane’ SCPs were always my favourite. A good story doesn’t need to be complicated.
my favorite -J SCP is the belligerent killbot that can’t defeat anything, no matter what it’s matched with. the researchers give it a potted plant to fight and it loses. i can identify with that.
what about the SCP that’s literally a magic box of pizza? Think about your brand, make, style, toppings, and boom immediately a free pizza exactly how you wanted. I can get down with that.
There is an anomalous region that was permanently transformed to fit a good-willed hippie’s desire after he talked to an old desert deity as thanks since she was feeling lonely for a long time.
A calculator that has trouble with big operations but tries its best to be helpful to its kid, a bowl of soup that helps kids get well when sick or injured and gives fatherly messages, a fictional man who enjoys the written adventures he can invade, a literal tickle monster, a cat cut in half…
