  It’s not an SCP. It’s just a…vending machine from 1985. That’s how they all worked.

    I once found a vending machine where I could pay for skittles, it wouldn’t give them to me, I’d get a refund, then I’d pay for them again and get TWO SKITTLES. I keep that location to myself but it was a godsend.

    Between that and the killer soda machine from Maximum Overdrive.

      The SCP Foundation is a secret organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting various anomalous entities. The website is an archive of top secret documents including entries for each entity, called an SCP followed by a number, containing a practical name, detailed description, the effects of the anomaly, experiments performed, containment methods, pictures, etc. Objects can be anything, benign looking household items, monsters, seemingly normal humans, etc. There’s nearly 5000 entries on the site. It’s a pretty fun time sink if you’re into short horror stories. Most of them only take a minute or two to read. There’s also multiple games, most notably SCP Containment Breach and tons of spinoff material.

        So it’s like deep fiction to the tune of the game Control?

      A creative writing project where the stories are all loosely based in a common universe where there is a secret organization protecting humanity from an evil force which manifests as a broad variety of different monsters.

      come up with a weird supernatural concept and write it in the format of a lab report

      SCP-80085
      Special Containment Procedures: put it in a secure room and don’t fucking touch it.
      Description: SCP-80085 is a McTasty burger as served by the McDonald’s restaurant chain, seemingly immune to rot and decay. Anyone who touches it fucking dies instantly from clogged arteries causing a heart attack.
      Addendum: Somehow Steve survived touching the burger, he took a bite and fucking exploded when he swallowed it, holy shit. Burger seems to have regenerated though.

      Google it. It’s pretty fascinating.
