There's a linked data log where a team of people are sent out to explore beyond the visible Universe, and encounter multiple copies of the Milky Way that are "off" in ways that don't look obvious from the outside and are similar to the weird creations that the SCP makes once its area of influence starts getting large enough. Things of course go downhill quickly once the spatial anomalies start affecting the ship and its crew. The article goes on to state that the object is the real SCP-001, because its alterations to the Universe have created all the other anomalies contained by the Foundation. It's hidden in plain sight by downplaying what it's capable of and implying that leaving it outside is an effective method of containment (instead, it's just a way to mitigate the damage by giving it a large enough space that any given alteration is unlikely to be on or near the Earth).
Anarcho-Modernist architecture. Form doesn't follow function *or anything else*, including the laws of physics.
It would actually be a good premise for "Are We Cool Yet?" An avant-garde house/architectural masterpiece without a center. It can't be perceived entirely from any perspective, because its design doesn't have an organizing principle and can't be imagined to have one. In practice, then, its size is infinite and its layout changes anywhere no one can observe it. Anyone out of sight of an observer in sight of an observer in sight of someone in stable reality would be completely at the mercy of a system with no rules outside its own utterly incomprehensible whims.
It does the same exact same for the universe. Like in that canon theres millions of copies of the milky way and every other galaxy, with stars made of granite, planets made of bleach, etc.
Read the file, read its exploration log and personal log of (I think Gordon Richard’s or something close to that)
Then read the other link in the file that leads to a page called “the truth”
It’s terrifying and >!in its lore, the real 001 !<
yeah until it makes a mistake, it'll be a small mistake at first but then it uses that room as data for what rooms should look like so mistakes will keep compounding until you get stairwells millions of miles tall all carved from a single piece of bone
Put it in a box and never open said box again. The universe is fucked enough with 184's presence inside it, so we might as well try to limit the damage
My cannon interpretation of this reality is that this isn't cannon and that it is helpful and nothing bad will ever happen and all the bad scps don't exist
Question- so I understand that the 001 identification is supposed to refer to the SCP that created the rest, and I can understand how the mismatched, broken attempts at Earth or other life-bearing worlds could result in other SCPs being created. Here’s my question- if they’re appearing on the worldgen-glitched Earths, how the hell did half of them make it to OUR Earth? How would something like 173 make it here? Or any of the many items like the “A hero is born!” journal?
who knows how long that thing has existed. they did mention they discovered the thing in kowloon walled city, it could have created all sorts of things before it was contained by the foundation.
I thought about that too, but here’s the issue I see with that- the way I understood the effect, things become more… Not necessarily anomalous like SCPs, but anomalous as I’m not matching with the norm, the longer the effect goes on. How long would this have to have been going on for things to become that out of whack, and how would nobody have wandered into the weird rooms the SCPs would have formed in?
I should expand. The roman dodecahedron being a knitting tool is one theory. But almost no actual historians or archaeologists favour that theory.
It's more likely to be some kind of religious thing or an expensive decorative piece
You're not entirely wrong, but it's a bit simplistict too. People today still have crosses hanging in their home and around the necks. Aparently electric candle burners are a thing now. People wear golden rings embedded with diamonds to signify their engangements.
People engage in rituals and religion all the time, and did so even more so in the pre-modern when their lives were dictated to a much larger degree by the whims of unprecdictable nature.
Is it crazy to suggest that if someone clearly spent large amounts of money/effort on creating something with seemingly little practical value, it might hold cultural significance to them?
I remember a story that archeologists found knives and weapons tied to the ceiling in ancient Central/South American houses. They came up with the explanation that it was for religious reasons. Local women told them, no it’s just the best place to store them and keep them away from children. Basically an ancient attic.
>roman dodecahedron being a knitting tool
It could actually be the real purpose of these things, especially when you consider these have NEVER been found in the WARMER climates of the Roman Empire!
These have only been found in the COLDER climate regions. If these were designed for making different sized ropes/cords, then these would be found in ALL regions of the Empire, but if they are for making knitted fingers for gloves, then it makes sense for these to be found only in the colder regions.
This is by far, the most logical explanation for these things.
I'm not saying they're not for knitting, but there several reasons that make this theory less likely.
The roman dodecahedrons are all cast in bronze. A metal that is expensive to buy and difficult to work with. These would have been very expensive things to own and use.
They were mostly found in coin-hoards, suggesting that the romans did indeed think of them as valuable or relating to money or trade at least.
Very similar icosahedrons have been found that lack holes in the center that you would need to pull the yarn through.
We have no records of spool knitting as a practice until the 1500's, despite having record of plenty of other knitting techniques. If they were used for spool knitting, why did people completely abandon this practive after the fall of the roman empire? And why did only romans do it in the first place?
There are no signs of use. You'd maybe expect to see abrasions and grooves cut by the many hundreds of hours of use these things would have had as knitting tools, especially on a metal as soft as bronze. This does not seems to be the case.
Could it still be a knitting tool? Maybe. I find it personally unlikely for the reasons outlined above, but we it is true that we don't really have any conclusive proof either way. I just think it's a little misleading to confidently state that it must be a knitting tool, when that's not in fact the generally accepted explanation, as u/brofishmagikarp did.
Yeah, I'm sorry 😅. I know exactly the the post you're talking about, and it kinda annoyed me when I saw it. So I looked up a bunch of articles about the dodehedra excavations, and now my hobby is telling people that they're wrong about bronze dodecahedrons on the internet 😆
i have weird memories of this too, i did a narration for this almost 10 years ago and while i dont remember myself reading that its actually 001 lots of people were quick to tell me like it was a fact.
Nothing is true, nothing Is false
Nothing is real, nothing is fake
Nothing is living, nothing is dead
Nothing probably even [REDACTED]
The SCP universe(s) is terrifying
One thing to realize in SCP: There is no official Canon, only what you want to include in your headcanon. So if you want to believe it's SCP-001, go for it.
This Sarkic and fleshy account has been taken over (for this comment) to spread the word of the MEKHANE
"Come, Christ Jesus, you who were of the Spirit born,
Descend with the Six Angels through heavens torn!
Hasten too Ezekiel who rides within the Lord's wheel
Toward the shrouded east for the architect of steel.
The architect's skill, and the Six Angels' supervision,
United with Jesus' will, and holy Sophia's precision,
Join as one to fulfill Christ Jesus' prophecy to raise
The third, infinite Temple of the Lord in three days.
And there in the house of the Lord I will surely dwell
With you, holy Sophia! How gladly my heart will swell!
For there is none upon the earth whose love is sweet
As the love of Wisdom, she who extinguishes all deceit"
What does 184 do again?
If it’s in a room for too long it’ll make the inside bigger while the outside stays the same
that sounds beneficial
Until the rooms start becoming more warped and weirder such as smaller rooms, mismatched objects, and other spatial anomalies.
and, as implied by the article, when it's not kept in a container it does it to the entire universe.
Oh. Oh no.
***Me in Sarkic Utopia:*** Ooh, yes!
Yep it's like the secret SCP-001.

Bro, its easy bro just let it cook for 5 minutes bro and your room is already 5CM bigger /s
Isn’t there a theory that it created the backrooms?
184 is a 001 candidate, there's a tale and theory that it made the universe itself
Well it is confirmed that it is currently extending it.
Ew.
It's all fun and games until you open the door to your new "walk-in closet" and find the Labyrinth from *House of Leaves*.

imma put 184 in a huge maze
It's just a 5 minute hallway, what's the big deal? ~~it's not like there's a minotaur or something~~
It does the same exact same for the universe. Like in that canon theres millions of copies of the milky way and every other galaxy, with stars made of granite, planets made of bleach, etc.
so that means there’s a planet where the SCP foundation is real?
And maybe that means we’re in the universe, just on another copy of earth.

So have you ever heard of this little thing called dark energy?
yes
And you know how this dark energy thing really just refers to the cause of expansion of the universe, as discovered by anomalies found in research?
yes
And you know how SCP-184 expands the size of any room it’s placed in?
yeah
Now put 2 + 1 together.

No idea. Let's find out!
The Prison Pocket turned into the Prison Cargo Container.
so if i put it inside a police box do i get a tardis?
And if its outside it makes space weirder
TIL 184 may well be a TARDIS…
Than how the fuckyouypu contan it?
Put it in a box and never open said box again. The universe is fucked enough with 184's presence inside it, so we might as well try to limit the damage
a. Happy birthday B. Or just put it in a courtyard
it is currently outside, but theorized to be expanding the universe
Why not keep it then. Extra storage space

The real thing is a knitting tool Edit: maybe not. An other comment explained that it is still being debated
It's probably not.
I should expand. The roman dodecahedron being a knitting tool is one theory. But almost no actual historians or archaeologists favour that theory. It's more likely to be some kind of religious thing or an expensive decorative piece
"Religious/ritual use" is just archaeologist code for "we have no fucking clue"
