      Even if a reality bender did that it would become an untenable, arguably exponentially growing, paradox and annihilate itself from existence.

    Here’s how deep this can go:
    The Foundation was probably founded around 1900s. Precursors for various countries existed beforehand but they all pretty much merged.
    BUT
    The world has definitely “ended” at least twice, based on SCP 2000. It could be much more than that, potentially thousands of world-ending events.
    On top of that, various anomalies can revert or change the past, or see the future, so multiple timelines can exist at the same time, if you can wrap your head around that.
    Finally (for the sake of brevity) some anomalies just change reality completely, so the Foundation could “have” been around for millions years, across multiple planets, but a reality shift made it so only the last 200 years actually “happened”. So the Foundation could be reliving the same cycle over and over for who knows how long.
    In short: How long has the Foundation been around? Yes.

      These ideas you outlined and a convoluted version of "the multiverse of multiverse" ideas that I have that keep resurfacing when I encounter an SPC concept or article I like and want to try and incorporate in my headcanon.
      "IF" I ever get the nerve to write for the website/wiki, I would love to explore with a "new" department of the Foundation dedicated to mapping out the convoluted tangle of Times lines and try and work out relations with seemingly other versions of themselves in different worlds.
      A goal of mine (again "IF" I post it on the site at all) would set for a story that has the same kind of gravitas I feel when I read the "Ethics Committee Orientation" story. The mand thrust of the "Main" opening story is going to an entity like 3003-2 state, "If you are truly the thing that survival everything, then you have some work to do, including against yourself."
      I could go on and on in trying to describe how I would want to structure the "Core Histories" of the Foundation, but I will let that sit in my head or note for later use.

      Yes, there was a an SCP-001 called "project palisade", which was about how the world already ended and somehow came back, probably through SCP-2000. but no, we don't know if the SCP-001's are real or were just made up, plus the 05 council are the only people who remember the old earth, so if they are real then the 05 council would know, but they don't.

      This is actually a bit possible, organizations like the ASCI existed before the foundation until they all merged into the scp foundation/ uiu so it will be possible that there was some sort of research station dedicated to exploring anomalies around the early 1900’s that ended up experiencing a total containment breach ( probably because the termination thing with the general didn’t go too well ) eventually as explained on Syncope Symphony scp 2000 usually causes a glitch in reality and that might be what duplicated some of the entities found here but with a bit different versions, maybe scp 2000 was activated by someone working at the department.

      Things keep trying to write the foundation out of history, but history dictates that the foundation exists/existed, so weirdness happens like SCP-2000 being a very foundation type of facility despite its age, and it’s multiple origin stories. I’m partial to the one where the Administrator visits the gate of Eden and is told “prepare” and makes the modern foundation.

      @@GethIng001 The core of this topic is quite simple, at its hearth.
      The Foundation can't have a cohesive history even without world ending scenarios for the simple reason of different people having a different take on what the setting of the Foundation is/should be.
      To make an example with something I like 5001 "Sacrosant" to be the literal incarnations of the Broken God and Yaldaboath, but many don't like such an idea or even don't like to think that the BG and Yaldaboath are literal beings existing on the material plane, for whatever reason.
      Similarly, I really like the 3 Moon Initiative with Corbenic, it's something that really appeals to me my sense of "weird" fantasy/sci-fi that makes for the best SCP articles, but many won't like the idea of death leading to a fantasy world of immortal humans and many horrible things that may not kill you but definitely can turn you mad.
      To discuss a canon is definitely pointless, some articles are just good to be read and ignored afterwards.

    I kind of like the idea that, before the current, near inhuman SCP Foundation, there was a more normal, human group of people, trying to maintain the natural order. And as the SCP Foundation becomes less human, they struggle to contain the anomalous, because they are becoming the anomalous.

      ​​@@undeadprinceofchaos3731t would be frightening to work for them at all, considering they can kill you, wipe your mind or experiment on you at any time for any reason. They know where your family is. There are plenty of scps and stories about this including one where a superior is amnesticized in a coup and tricked into thinking she has to apply for her job like it's new over and over and is really living drugged in some cubicle or something. Every other article threatens to "terminate" people and they dont mean fire you after signing an NDA. Considering how armed many employees are esp the Mobile Task Force ones, youd have more strikes and collective bargaining, at least people trying to organise a union.
      That's the main thing I find unbelievable about SCP. Nobody would ever choose to work for them, because of such things, unless they had some kind of magically enforced labor contract.
      The D-class explanation of death penalty inmates ruins suspension of disbelief. Some of the most important SCP orgs are the ones in functioning democracies in the developed world. Almost none of which even have a death penalty. Many do not even have LWOP.
      The EU, Turkey, Japan, Canada and Mexico all do not have death penalty. Russia barely does because they haven't used it in over a decade. In terms of advanced democracies its pretty much limited to the US, India, S. Korea. The US is the only one of the 3 with a serious population on death row (2,500).
      In very Authoritarian countries you get more people executed but then they are generally executed pretty quickly as compared to US which has alot of built in opporyunities for legal appeals specifically for that sentence.
      The upshot is that in most places where you'll have a very organized functional and respected SCP, there just isn't a decent population of death penalty inmates that you'd be willing to set free if they got survived SCP experimentation.
      OK then, make it apply to long term 10+ year inmates in order to lower sentence ie ec the time off worth of ec experiment being proportional to the risk of death...I mean that could maybe work in US or S. Korea (you could also see them letting the poor or homeless do it for lottery) but again, in most democracies there simply *wouldn't* be a legal way for D class to exist.So now you're talking about the SCP having an extrajudicial paramilitary type institution in those countries. It's hard to accept as even the CIA who attempted a few measly tiny experiments on Americans in the mid 20th century couldn't get away with it for long. And that was like on a handful of ppl.
      Maybe this has been done, but I'd really appreciate a article or story etc that actually creates a mechanism for dealing with this. Assuming the main SCP verse is in our timeline/dimension etc. Like when you read a SF/F fiction the author does worldbuilding that convinces you to accept ideas like D class, or it's a whole different world altogether so you'll accept something odd as being part of it.
      I realize there is no set Canon but is there ANY canon that tries to explain the labor and d class issues? it seems like everyone just takes it for granted and handwaves it in.

    There’s a game called Lobotomy Corporation heavily inspired by the SCP wiki (I promise this is relevant to this video, just keep reading). To cut the chase short-also, minor spoiler warning for the game’s lore-these entities are extracted from the mind, specifically the minds of people put into stasis called “Dreamers”, and often manifest in forms based off fairy-tales, traumas, or other related stuff (this exact part of the lore isn’t relevant to the actual theory, but it’s something worth mentioning). These entities are called Abnormalities, and, as expected from something extracted from human minds, often have other entities similar to the original, though a bit off either thematically or functionally. The “relatives” of these base Abnormalities are called Aberrations.
    With this in mind, I theorize the Department of Abnormalities was originally a branch that held “aberrations” (or, in this case, “abnormalities”) of base anomalies. While I’m still uncertain why exactly the O5 would be so secretive over it, it’s possible (and this part of the theory’s a bit of a stretch) this was an intentional project that had to go defunct for pretty obvious ethical concerns.
    Sorry this theory can’t be more extensive or detailed, since this was written from a very brief realization I had while re-reading some of the pages here.

    I feel like that first article is some of his favorites and some unused ideas.
    As for the department, I kinda like the idea that at some point the SCP Foundation wasn't exclusively about anomalies. But reality got rewritten meaning these things got worse or out of control and either members of the O5 council remember how things used to be, or they think the SCP Foundation has always been about getting anomalies. Maybe there could be a story about how 002 actually was a different department of the SCP Foundation trying to deal with it before the department of abnormalities were notified, and that's why it's so different from all the other entries.

  • @jacobfreeman5444
    @jacobfreeman5444 3 года назад +6

    My head canon is the department was the begining but they reached a point where they realized they realized to properly do their job they needed to have existed before had been created. Thus they anomalously made themselves retroactively appear. The possible different iterations that could occur explain why we seem to have no clear canon and why there seem to be multiple precursor organizations that have a direct connection. The event that made them retroactively become a thing didn't make just one possibility, but many. And they all shift and come into contact with each other at different points. This is why the O-5 doesn't want anything to be known about the department. Unraveling what was done could reveal too much. About the Foundation and how you could defeat them. Keeping the secret of the department is just too fundamental despite the unintended consequences it may have.

    A call back to the old mystique of the SCP foundation. What I love is all the imagery.
    The technology as it is described, used by the Department of Abnormalities has this old, rustic look to it.; it's not shiny and chrome with holograms and minimalist elements but the feats they accomplish contrast really well with that.
    So you end up having this mysterious but incredibly powerful organisation the might even eclipse the power of the modern SCP foundation.

    This means that not only is it canon in this universe that SCP-999’s mother is no longer being subjected to torture to prevent his birth, and that the “horrible procedure we can’t even describe” is a cover-up to hide 999 from the Scarlet King, this means that it has been so for CENTURIES AT LEAST, so this person has been living an idyllic dream life for hundreds of years, which is what she deserves and more (and also implies that the actual “horrible procedure” wasn’t even that bad, it’s literally exaggerated to the point of horror just to hide that it’s no longer happening)
