* The [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub Antimemetics Division]] tales follow the titular Antimemetics Division. This division deals with "Antimemes", which are essentially ideas that eat ideas. Victims of Antimemes are effectively erased from the world, as all memory of them, or even all records of them, are destroyed. The first Antimemetics tale, "We Need To Talk About Fifty Five", introduces Mraion Wheeler, the division chief. In it, she is described as having a "loving husband and two kids". Later tales tell us a lot more about her husband, but the this first tale is the only one to make any reference to her having kids. Word of god confirms this was intentional.

* The suggestion to nuke SCP-682 was rejected, because "if it survives and develops resistance to nukes, then we are totally screwed". But what's the point of avoiding the possibility of it developing resistance to nukes ''if you are not going to use them on it in the first place''?
** Because not only ItOnlyWorksOnce, but also mutates in order to counteract/replicate said power. Generally, it prefers the former, especially if it took a lot of damage; in this case, if it doesn't do that, then we would have a radioactive 682. This would be a major problem.
** There are several other reasons as well. Nukes are not an easy thing to hide. Since only North Korea has even tested a Nuke in the last two decades, it would be a very hard thing to explain away without risking the general public finding out about the Foundation. In the case there is a major containment breach on the site, a nuke is the last resort to prevent a Keter class from running away. You would hope that at the very least, the nuke would hurt that lizard badly so it can be recaptured in that situation.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1055 SCP-1055]] grows in size depending on how many people are aware of its existence. Naturally, they've taken some measures to keep its true nature under wraps, including tricking all agents into thinking that its "caretaker" is the SCP, and restricting access to its true nature on the site. Or at least, trying to; information which is supposed to be deleted can be read and seen by anyone. Just by reading the page, [[YouBastard you are making the SCP a greater threat]]!

* SCP-001 states that The Factory has a claim on the souls of all SCP personnel, and some of them just... disappear. This is an in-built justification for fans who just give it up one day, for whatever reason. In-universe, it explains why they're so cavalier with the lives of D-class ("D" for "Disposable") personell. If they can feed it full of {{Mooks}} souls, it won't get hungry for researchers.

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-5007 SCP-5007-A]] is an intertidal reef from which [[{{BodyOfBodies}} SCP-5007]] originate from. At the center of -A is -B, a large, deep pit, containing some sort of [[{{EldritchAbomination}} many-eyed, tentacled horror]] designated SCP-5007-C. One comment in the discussion page pointed out on how the shape and location of SCP-5000-B inside -A makes it appear to resemble an eye. Since -C is inside -B, does this mean that the entirety of SCP-5000-A, -B, and -C are merely parts of a [[{{EldritchAbomination}} bigger entity?]]

* SCP-5002 was a mystery writer who, whenever she reread something she wrote, caused it to occur in reality, albeit with some of the details - mostly names and places - changed. One D-Class said he was terrified of her because he could never be sure if he was responsible for his actions, or if 5002 had written them. [[spoiler:Agent O'Connor says in the last part of her report that Lowry may not have been fully responsible for killing 5002 because she might have forced him to do so by writing a story. But how many of the events leading up to 5002's death were orchestrated by 5002? Did she force Dr Yau to fall in love with her, or Director May to want revenge so badly she let a serial rapist roam free? Did 5002 simply want to die, so she wrote her own murder and the rest was a coincidence, or did she specifically set things up to make her death one that suited a mystery novel?]]

* SCP-2006 may look like a typical Joke-SCP but think about its motivations and what it's capable of. It's motivated by causing fear and is capable of changing into what it believes frightens mankind. What if it discovers what really frightens humanity? The fact that it can't be destroyed adds more reason to take this SCP seriously. And one tale implies it knows exactly what scares the Foundation.

* Just about any "creation story" one would be able to come up with for how most of the [=SCPs=] came about.

* Some of the more beneficial [=SCPs=] were discovered in the possession of people who were relying on them to survive. SCP-348 (the soup bowl that produces soup if you're sick) was being used by a child with neglectful parents, SCP-1689 (the infinite potato bag) was the sole food source of a small Siberian village with 200 residents (and had been for more than a century), and SCP-2295 (the teddy bear that makes organs for injured patients) was discovered in a crashed mail truck on its way to an injured child, courtesy of his grandmother. There is no indication that any of these people received the help they needed after their respective [=SCPs=] were confiscated.

* A tale-specific example: SCP-053's crosstest with SCP-978 is actually really wholesome, what with 053 happily riding through the countryside on 682's back while a bunch of smiling people follow, right? But what if one takes this as canon to the Competitive Eschatology, wherein we see 053 and 682 doing exactly that as ''HorsemenOfTheApocalypse''? Is 053's greatest desire to herald in the end of the world?

* Part of [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-6373 SCP-6373]] is a puppet known as Âme that is completely empty, while the other three puppets contain human organs. But in French, "Âme" translates to "soul", so the puppet might've not been empty after all...

Goffard might've found a way to imprison his wife's ''soul'' in Âme, the puppet that also goes through horrendous abuse as part of the show...

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-j SCP-____-J]] is a joke SCP that makes people procrastinate, leading to a bare-bones article as it affects the researcher writing it. Seems funny, but then you remember that it could make them procrastinate on doing basic, life-sustaining activities such as going to the bathroom and eating, thus leading to a slow decay of living skills and eventual death. If the article was written differently, this could easily be a proper SCP.

* SCP-1440's immortality gets a lot more grim when you consider that given he was still an old man when first found by the Foundation fifty years ago, he was probably old enough to have experienced a past XK-scenario that required [[ResetButton SCP-2000]] to restart humanity and thus he has "witnessing the apocalypse" as another reason to [[WhoWantsToLiveForever regret beating Death]]. But it gets worse when you consider [[WalkingDisasterArea his effect on civilization]]; was one of the catastrophizes that required SCP-2000 to be used [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom accidentally triggered by him]]?
