SCP-001 - YOU Are The Anomaly

SCP 001 is a Paradox-Apollyon Class anomaly also known as YOU Are The Anomaly .

SCP-001 consists of all living members of the Homo sapiens species without exception. SCP001 currently include humans living in the relict dimension R-42 and the PD paradimension.
The danger to reality that SCP-001 poses lies in its anomalous capability for wide-scale replication of paradimensions.

This whole episode is a special kind of mind frick, like it’s like this file is the equivalent of a 2nd person video game, it just doesn’t make that much sense but does aswell

[miral]

Of course, it's also possible that the real SCP here is an infohazard: Namely, the idea that this SCP exists. Being told and believing this single piece of information could spell the end of humanity, just as it did in R-42, regardless of whether it's true.

Edit on 11/25/22: It's an infohazard, not a cognitohazard. Got them totally mixed up. My bad.

It's my head canon now that SCP-0000 is simply the deletion of the entire wikidot SCP site, thus removing the existence of the entire SCP universe.

[hunterwillis]

I like the idea of complex life turning out to be an anomaly, playing off of the Fermi's paradox as a solution/explanation. like in the distant future humanity becomes advanced enough to explore the entire universe only to find out that earth is the only place where complex life exists and that complex life evolves on it anomalously

[daitoray]

This scp-001 they could be talking about is the D-class from the SCP game. In the game, the D-class you play as can either deal with a 682 containment breach or the old man escape. If we do the old man escape, it's possible for the D-class to recapture the old man, the foundation will rescue the D-class and in the end ponder the idea of considering this D-class in particular an SCP because of his extreme luck and uncanny recognition of the most unpredictable hazards as if he has dealt with them before. As a result, the foundation will consider the person who is manipulating the D-class an SCP because we are able to control a D-class to do things in our place and train them to deal with the most unpredictable situations.

[dreadfulgames]

This is what 049 calls The Pestilence, hence why he turns people into mindless creatures so they no longer make decisions that speed up the end of reality.

[MagicHamsta]

So...SCP-001 is basically humanity being stored on a web server and using up all available storage space. SCP-0000 can delete all the SCP entries to buy more time but every decision/new entry uses up more and more space. The only permanent solution is to nuke/lock the database preventing new entries from being created.

It’s entries like these that makes me love the SCP universe. Rather than seeing it as simply a website where people can place their own made up anomalies it makes it like an actual reality. By being a person who thinks consciously about anomalies and submits them as entries we become anomalies ourselves for creating anomalies in the SCP universe and it makes me feel that the SCP universe isn’t as fictional as we think it is.

[ledumpsterfire]

For anyone interested, the "you split off into the choice you made while other versions of you are created for the other choices" is actually a very incomplete understanding of the theory.

If we all had our own wave function which responded to our choices, this would be true. We don't. We operate on the universe's wave function as a whole, so when the wave function transitions, which is essentially when any particle in the universe exits a state of superposition, it becomes all possible outcomes at once.

The version it was essentially ceases to exist, instead split off into all possibilities.

The implications of this are that this happens far more than when you make a choice. There are.. well it's hard to quantify, but an unimaginably large number of splits of you and the entire universe being made every second, with the original no longer existing, instead becoming all possible versions.

Your different choices will undoubtedly fall on that spectrum, but they are inconsequential in the grand scheme and have little to no effect on that scale. You are not the same version of yourself you were even a second ago, you're a descendant of you, a perfect split. By the time you've read through this, you will have been split many times more.

[AmaryInkawult]

The real SCP-001 were the Friends we made along the way

[VixxyFoxxy]

*you know its going to be a good episode when a Foundation agent rides SCP-682 into battle within the first 5 seconds*

[notimportant]

If the multiverse had a limit simply making the decision to end it would make another dimension. The limit would be totally unavoidable

[honestlywhatever]

I actually love how SCP-001 is a bunch of proposals. It's pretty cool imo

[nasty.habits]

So, according to this, the first human or homosapian was the first of our ancestors to make a decisions based on preference, instead of instinct. So, the true anomaly is not specifically humans, but the consciousness we developed that allowed us to operate with free will instead of on instinct alone. Sounds abt right.

[Tinkercraft]

Out of all of the dimensions I'm glad we are in the one where the scp foundation is a work of fiction

[OneCutSlash]

I've watched enough Star Trek the Next Generation, to know you defeat paradoxes and time loops, by flying your ship straight through them.

[allentheincubus]

Amazing to think that we're SCP-682 and SCP-049 have been trying to tell us this entire time that we're the danger but thanks to SCP-5000, we're stuck in an infinite loop

[annesNfan]

I believe Scp 001 is just an anomaly in another universe that either ended the universe or an anomaly or even something else (like humans in the spiral) that created other anomalies

[Semperverus]

The decision maker in the Many Worlds theory is not a conscious human, but a sub-atomic particle. The word "decision" here is being used as a technical term, and it does not mean a conscious, thinking decision, but rather like a rube goldberk machine's ball falling into one path versus another based on minute local environmental factors like the wind currents in a room or how hot or humid the air is, or how wet a surface is that the ball is rolling on.
