It’s actually hilarious how wild the redactions are in this. The entry about SCP-094, a massive void, engulfing Earth, ending the world, and killing everyone, is completely uncensored down to the date that it happens. Meanwhile, the Foundation redacts a hotdog restaurant’s name and completely redacts the date and entry of an Mexican soap opera ending.
One of the possibilities for hand 22 is that all humans will die in 2032 (removing the need for concern for public health). Which would mean it's prediction about SCP-094 could just be when the void breaches 1032's containment if it's left in it's box after that.

SCP-1032-03 text after midnight event: "Researcher [Redacted] does not have a hammer shoved up his [Redacted]" Estimated time to midnight event: Exactly 60 seconds
Interesting cosmological implication: even though the actual end-date of the universe has been expunged from the document, there must be a calculatable time left. Compare that to "the worst thing someone could possibly imagine", since it's moving so slow as to be undetectable, that implies that whatever its counting down towards will happen *after* the end of the universe.
It counts down to the end of something, that means that the worst thing to ever happen to anyone is currently ongoing and will go on for longer than the universe exists
The fact the clock kept changing its prediction regarding its own classification, instead of each classification being its own midnight event, hints at the possibility that the clock isn't actually predicting anything. It is making things happen. Between this and the "accident" with the oxygen tank, I'm willing to bet this is the case.
The article kind of states as much, that either the researchers tied to the project, or the foundation higher up themselves realize this thing is technically a reality shifter. But this scp predated the Type Green/Blue concept, otherwise the foundation, or the GOC would have safely smashed this thing a long time ago. In the canon of this article they are scared shitless of what it might be able to do, and don't want to risk it altering reality in a way that it can protect itself. With -21 its possible this is the hand it realizes where the foundation would have no choice other then to try and destroy it in an attempt to avert some massive Catastrophe, and this would basically be it setting itself up to reality bend and protect itself. At least from my understanding.
3:48 this is such a cool subtle horror, I love it. the fact that “the worst thing that will ever happen to anybody is so far in the future might seem like a good thing - but it’s actually horrific. what it means is that everything everyone has gone through and experienced so far is not the worst of it. the worst is yet to come. and it’s so far in the future that we can’t even begin to measure when it might be. this implies human suffering will continue for an incredible amount of time, and that implication with something as simple as a clock hand is super cool
Note that it doesn't specify that it will happen to a human. It says "anyone". That one makes me wonder about the correlation with SCP-094. If SCP-094 continues its exponential expansion, it will have consumed the visible universe within a few thousand years. How could anything happen to anyone if there's nobody left for anything to happen to? Possible explanations: * The observed growth of SCP-094 is dependent on factors which will change as it grows, or after consuming Earth. For example, the presence of a gravity well or baryonic matter. * SCP-094 could be generating a new universe within itself, and this is where the "anyone" will be. * The universe is truly infinite.
the end of a clock hands' rotation does not indicate the beginning of an event, but the end of it. this means that the worst thing that will ever happen to anybody will be in progress for an amount of time so long it is impossible to measure, which is kinda more terrifying.
@@MrEpic-xd8dz I don’t think the existence of the thing on the clocks hand necessarily guarantees its current existence, though. Notice the tense used: “the worst thing that WILL ever happen to anybody” not “the worst thing happening to anybody ever.” the tense could be in the future to emphasize that the thing happening spans across the universes existence, but it could also be because said “thing” isn’t happening yet. But I hadn’t considered that it could be happening already, and the fact it seems to go on for eternity is quite a chilling one
@@Tiniuc amen to that. I wonder if the clock - not moving whatsoever, therefor representing eternity - is saying exactly that. Not that the worst thing to happen to anyone ever will happen in an eternity, but that the worst thing that will happen to anyone ever IS eternity.
It’s a super super cool feature of these articles!! It gives you a hint of the danger and stuff of the ACP, and gets you thinking “wait, why would they need to do that? that’s absurd!” which hooks you and makes you curious to read more to see why exactly it needs the containment procedures it has. it’s also very cool to go back and read the containment procedures after reading the description to catch details you missed on the first read.
I really like the “Project Serapis” reference, which is a reference to Kalinin’s SCP-2798, which in-turn is a reference to Kalinin’s SCP-001 proposal, “Past And Future”. For context, SCP-2798 is an anomalous energy field around the Earth created by the Foundation during Project Serapis by melting down a couple thousand human souls and combining a bunch of SCPs together to create a strange soul-slurry that they injected into the Earth’s mantle. The purpose of Project Serapis was to essentially fool Kalinin’s SCP-001 into not detecting Earth by making it seem like Earth has a single giant human soul. The side-effects of pumping the soul-slurry into the Earth included a lot of negative stuff, so the mystery of the article is “Why the hell is this necessary? What the hell is SCP-001 in this case?” The end of the article when it was uploaded was actually a countdown to when Project Serapis’s effects would fail, and SCP-001 would be able to detect Earth. It was actually also a countdown to the release of Kalinin’s SCP-001 which elaborated more on the threat that SCP-2798 was supposed to prevent, the planet of hands. The end of the countdown and the day Kalinin’s SCP-001 was uploaded was 2/11/2016. It’s fitting for a countdown SCP to reference another well-known countdown SCP. Also pretty cool to see one author reference another author’s event and canon.
@@josejavierotazu4788 On February 16, 2017, the reference was added as part of the WikiWalk Grand Crosslinking project. The Grand Crosslinking was a project where the community could come up with crosslinks if there was anything they felt could connect well (for example, in this case, linking SCP-1032 to SCP-2798). Photosynthetic, the author of SCP-1032, volunteered their articles, so Jacob Conwell, a member of the WikiWalk team, added the entry about Project Serapis. Actually, they also added the “Effective Containment” entry with SCP-094 too.
It's not entirely uncommon but I do like a subtle one. Sometimes it's a name drop, specific location, fictional brand or unique phrase. Then there's the more blunt of cross testing, continuations/alternate stories, anything sir blackwood and site wide containment breaches.
My theory is that "the worst thing that will ever happen to anybody" refers to Scranton and that his event occurs outside of spacetime therefore the hand is somewhat borked.
I think that it's actually Dr Talloran being tortured by scp 3999. Scp 3999 used time fuckery to torture Dr Talloran for eternity which could explain why the hand can't perceivably move.
@goldexperiencerequiem6619 @quinnalexander3825 Hate to be a killjoy, but both this and 3999 were written 5 years after SCP-1032 (2012 as opposed to 2017). You can absolutely believe that, of course. A lot of early articles crosslinked articles written afterword, so it's 100% allowed.
"Hey do you think we should use different kinds of tanks for nerve gas and oxygen" "Nah man, Ill just write VX in sharpy on the side here itll be fine."
6:10 "Freedom of the Press" with the prediction of the date being in 2073 and the clock not specifying what countries/nations it will end in, I'd love to think that this is a cyberpunk reference lol
If the "worst thing to ever happen to anyone" arm moves so slowly they can't calculate, but "the end of the universe" can be calculated, that means it's not the actual universe in which the clock finds itself in. Either that or it's tracking other universes too.
This one reminds me of the Weasley's wall-clock from the Harry Potter franchise. If I recall correctly, the multiple hands were each assigned to a member of the family, whereas the 'numeral places' were marked with things like 'at school', 'home' and 'travelling'. The twelve o'clock spot was designated 'in Mortal Peril'.
6:35 The end of humor is so interesting to me, why didn’t the foundation leave any notes about that? The idea of humor as a concept ending in 2052 is so interesting. Why would humor end? Do humans just lose the ability to find things funny in 2052?
Could be alot of things. Could be that the word humor just stops being used or it could be that humanity removes its emotions and pain like in scp 5000.
This would be on my shortlist of scps to reasign researchers to as punishment. Weve all heard the threats of reasigning people to keter duty. The idea being that keters are scary, difficult to contain, and typically dangerous. But this thing. This would be the worst thing to study. The day to day of researching this thing is just watching a clock. Reading labels, calculating times. Very very boring. Its not dangerous enough to require high clearance. Its not the kind of mind melting horror that requires amnestics. You just watch time pass, acutely aware of impending disaster. Monotonous anxiety. Ceasless, futile research. Worst assignment ever.
Agreed. While it was interesting when used sparingly in some of the early SCP entries, some authors started seriously overusing it. IMO, it shows a lack of creativity or imagination, since filling those out would have affected nothing.
I must say I don't much care for scps that seem to be written only as a required filler for a list of random basic quirky things that came off the top of the writer's head. It's so cheap and meaningless and I've seen it so many times.
Ok it expressly said that the new event on listed on a hand need not have a relationship to the previous? Then went on to list the themes presnt for every single hand? Also 18 and 19 are missing? Am I not getting something about this SCP? Cool concept though.
So you expect me to believe that the SCP has NEVER set a D-Class in there with explicit instructions to stop the hands movement? I call shenanigans on this one.
"The worst thing to ever happen to anyone". I think that all the events listed are things that currently exist at the time they appear on the clock. If that's true that means that someone is currently experiencing the worst thing that could ever happen to someone and will continue to experience it for a very, very long time. Probably longer than the universe will exist. That's pretty horrifying.
SCP-1032-011 "PRESIDENT *****'S TERM IN OFFICE" The day this video was uploaded the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash. March 19, 2024. That's quite an eerie coincidence. 😬
Hold hold up. "Worst thing to ever happen to anyone ever" moves too slow to be calculated. But the end of the universe was (presumably from it being redacted)???? Fuck 682 then. Damn thing outlived us all. The only thing left in the now non universe
I can't listen to it because there's no background music or sound effects it's just too quiet for me :-( and it sounds like a great story but I'm so used to SCP experience and how he narrates all his SCP stories same with lighthouse horror dark somnium and Jordan groupe.
lmao that "2020" hand is clever. Surprised the foundation hasn't caught on. (the implication being the pandemic, but apparently that hand has been a part of the skip since 2019. I have not checked the legitimacy of this claim.)
Hello Mr. Volgun, I am a long time fan and enjoyer of your content and have been looking into voice acting as a hobby/job. Are there any tips or advice that could help me such as where to find jobs? Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I love thinking about these reality warping objects as it they were once living beings. Simply unaware of how their powers worked. And now they look like a clock "predicting" creating new futures. Just the hole idea your own power could be so vast you are unable to realize it once you use it. I love it. If you were a god, but wiped your own mind and turned yourself into a toaster. Could you ever come back?
One of the worst scp ive seen in a hot minute. Its a great idea, but the sheer redactions make it horrible. If youre going to write a list of events and dates, you cant redact half of it
Im of the belief that the clock isnt sentient but ends up predicting things so well it causes self fulfilling prophesies rather than xausing the events themselves
You can tell the researcher who redacted this document is a fan of the soap opera and hot dog vendor because previous attempts to interfere with the predictions have ended in unexpected ways and by redacting the names and dates no other researcher can try to interfere in them.
This is why I like the earlier entries. They're just so much better. I don't need to hear an 8-part series on how a thing that never happened indeed never happened. Just add some foreboding and and some humor here and there. Not that hard to make a good SCP entry.
people still write tons of entries like this "shortest pages this month" is literally linked in the wiki sidebar specifically for people that prefer entries like this
"His guards were initially unable to determine the cause of death until it was discovered that his oxygen tank had mistakenly been filled with VX." VX gas effects are distinct- was that statement supposed to mean that the guards were idiots, or is this just another oversight? I know SCPs aren't written by the best and brightest, but come on, man...

You just watch time pass, acutely aware of impending disaster.
Monotonous anxiety.
Ceasless, futile research.
Worst assignment ever.
i feel like the author of this made too much use of expunged data...
Agreed. While it was interesting when used sparingly in some of the early SCP entries, some authors started seriously overusing it. IMO, it shows a lack of creativity or imagination, since filling those out would have affected nothing.
I must say I don't much care for scps that seem to be written only as a required filler for a list of random basic quirky things that came off the top of the writer's head. It's so cheap and meaningless and I've seen it so many times.
This one was a really fun one. Just weird for weird. Even made me laugh. Thanks for presenting this 😃
Ok it expressly said that the new event on listed on a hand need not have a relationship to the previous? Then went on to list the themes presnt for every single hand? Also 18 and 19 are missing? Am I not getting something about this SCP?
Cool concept though.
The list is what currently displayed on them. But with some exceptions, you don't know what the next text is gonna be.
Love the clock render. That's one sinister looking clock.
So you expect me to believe that the SCP has NEVER set a D-Class in there with explicit instructions to stop the hands movement?
I call shenanigans on this one.
They've tried that enough times with other future-predicting SCPs to not be willing to risk it.
The clock knows we skipped a year at some point.
I LOVE the old SCPs! Keep'em coming!
The more you can live your life without knowing when something will end... If only the Foundation could learn to leave things be.
"The worst thing to ever happen to anyone". I think that all the events listed are things that currently exist at the time they appear on the clock. If that's true that means that someone is currently experiencing the worst thing that could ever happen to someone and will continue to experience it for a very, very long time. Probably longer than the universe will exist. That's pretty horrifying.
But what about #14, #18 and #19?!?!
Lookin forward to see this ! This is new to see a new SCP commentary made by Volgun !
9:22 you son of a...
This is one of the coolest SCPs I've seen in quite some time
The way this guy narrates, I keep expecting him to sprinkle in the occasional “Lil pilgrim”
1032-08, you can say that again!
Hell yeah, let's go more declassified info.😊
Woo hoo I love lazy writing tropes
Kinda interesting idea. Feel the concept could have been pushed a bit more
It was literally just used as a shitty joke/reference thing
SCP-1032-011 "PRESIDENT *****'S TERM IN OFFICE"
The day this video was uploaded the President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi died in a helicopter crash. March 19, 2024.
That's quite an eerie coincidence. 😬
Excellent lecture Dr. Miller
*Millar
Hold hold up.
"Worst thing to ever happen to anyone ever" moves too slow to be calculated. But the end of the universe was (presumably from it being redacted)????
Fuck 682 then. Damn thing outlived us all. The only thing left in the now non universe
I can't listen to it because there's no background music or sound effects it's just too quiet for me :-( and it sounds like a great story but I'm so used to SCP experience and how he narrates all his SCP stories same with lighthouse horror dark somnium and Jordan groupe.
The scary part is the redacted "The beginning of...". It depicts DEATHS, so what death could be beginning?
lmao that "2020" hand is clever. Surprised the foundation hasn't caught on.
(the implication being the pandemic, but apparently that hand has been a part of the skip since 2019. I have not checked the legitimacy of this claim.)
Hello Mr. Volgun, I am a long time fan and enjoyer of your content and have been looking into voice acting as a hobby/job. Are there any tips or advice that could help me such as where to find jobs? Any response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you
I love thinking about these reality warping objects as it they were once living beings.
Simply unaware of how their powers worked. And now they look like a clock "predicting" creating new futures.
Just the hole idea your own power could be so vast you are unable to realize it once you use it. I love it.
If you were a god, but wiped your own mind and turned yourself into a toaster. Could you ever come back?
boo!! did i scare u guys
Aw man I soiled my undergarments
SCP-1032-07 actually kinda concerned me considering the steady decline of internet humor nowadays
this is an awesome SCP, I love the kinda meta ones like this
According to this SCP my 57th birthday will Mark the end of humor in my 72nd birthday world market end of the phrase you can say that again
Would these incidents be "Threat level midnight" events?! (If you know, you know)
SCP-1032-13 does not constitute SCP-1032's first failure. It was 100% correct.
So was 2020 a failure, or is it saying 2020 lasted forever, even into 2021
The GOC approach may actually be the best course of action with this one.
One of the worst scp ive seen in a hot minute. Its a great idea, but the sheer redactions make it horrible. If youre going to write a list of events and dates, you cant redact half of it
Wait, president of WHICH country? *checks the news* UH OH.
im back to watching your stuff despite saying i would earlier, um i meant to but forgot sorry, anyways...
Im of the belief that the clock isnt sentient but ends up predicting things so well it causes self fulfilling prophesies rather than xausing the events themselves
It's not predicting. It's choosing the event itself and mocking us by setting a timer.
You can tell the researcher who redacted this document is a fan of the soap opera and hot dog vendor because previous attempts to interfere with the predictions have ended in unexpected ways and by redacting the names and dates no other researcher can try to interfere in them.
Must have been Iran's president. Because homie just kissed a mountain.
Watching this in 2024, I wonder what 1032-11 says now?
This SCP freaking predicted covid 8 years in advance!
2020 felt like it lasted for two years... I don't think it was wrong.
For me 2020 ended on February 24, 2022 :(
Correct... but not quite.
This is why I like the earlier entries. They're just so much better. I don't need to hear an 8-part series on how a thing that never happened indeed never happened. Just add some foreboding and and some humor here and there. Not that hard to make a good SCP entry.
people still write tons of entries like this
"shortest pages this month" is literally linked in the wiki sidebar specifically for people that prefer entries like this
Is that a jab at SCP 5000?
Can you do SCP-970 which is the looped rooms? :)
another doohicky from Are We Cool Yet's Meow Wolf clone exhibit. lmao
1032-13 was not wrong. It felt like 2020 lasted that long.
I feel like it is anything it could be potentially on the clock hands if it wanted to.
God I hate these SCP entries when it's filled with pointless redaction.
Maybe it's like a hyper intense butterfly effect that can label itself
I think they were actually referring to the mayhem that was 2020.
Does anyone make a replica of this? I’d love one for my oddity shelf
I like how it's equally ominous and funny :D
🦖💕
not gonna lie why write something then redact half the page so engaging
no prediction SCP is complete without Covid jokes
So many facepalms
Such timely puns and points
Me when: [data expunged] ends at "irrelevant
"His guards were initially unable to determine the cause of death until it was discovered that his oxygen tank had mistakenly been filled with VX."
VX gas effects are distinct- was that statement supposed to mean that the guards were idiots, or is this just another oversight?
I know SCPs aren't written by the best and brightest, but come on, man...
I don’t think the average person KNOWS obscure knowledge about gasses
