      I might've been wrong actually. The difference between 0 and 1 is greater then the difference between 1 and infinity. 0-1 is nothing to one thing. 1-infinty is one to everything. Nothing has no chance but one thing does.

That's a guaranteed 0% chance. the odds of 1 beating infinity are to fine for humans to calculate but it is at least an existing chance. The difference between 0 and 1 is immeasurably greater than the difference between 1 and infinity.

      When you're around an animal long enough you know what they want. When my cat passed she wanted a bath, she didn't fight like she always did she just wanted to feel warm and clean and she tried to fight when I took her out of the water. Then she wanted to snuggle and watch adventure time and that's just what we did. She died in my arms a couple hours later, watching the first Fiona and cake episode of adventure time

    To be submitted to the SCP Ethics Committee:
    You do not let a sane dog die in a cold mettle box, or on the hard road shoulder.
    This is the debt we, as a toolmaking species, owe the universe for daring to shape lifeforms into tools.
    You may have to put a dog down, but when you do you hold it, and look it in the eye, and you tell it it's a good dog, first. A dog, thanks to us, can no longer be a wolf: we have changed them, root and stem, and we can never be free of the moral obligation that entails. If some... distant tool maker, eons from now, found the last dog, dying far from us, I hope they would have decency to do for us, what Dr. Bloom did for the creators of the Harbingers.

    Emotions aside, I'm happy the writer of this SCP put in the detail that a ship that generates this much heat REALLY NEEDS an efficient cooling system. Space is generally a vacuum. So, its pretty difficult to radiate much heat away from it to cool down when something on the ship is actively heating it.
