* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3959 SCP-3959]] is an antimemetic hazard created by the Foundation in their (failed) effort to stop [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3002 SCP-3002]], which itself was created as a result of an unsuccessful attempt to contain [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1425 SCP-1425]]. While it works as expected, it doesn't stop SCP-3002 and is discovered to have a mild cognitohazardous effect. However, it begins to exert a very powerful cognitohazard, escapes containment, and gorges itself upon all information that it can across the entire world. The Foundation speculates that it may even retroactively erase what it redacts from existence/ever happening, but the redactions and antimemes make it impossible to ever know. [[spoiler: The Foundation also discovers an indestructible textbook containing all of human knowledge and history, that updates itself continuously, that SCP-3959 briefly infected. The Foundation managed to get it out and is now doing everything possible to prevent SCP-3959 from reinfecting it, but the [[WhamLine first 248 pages have been redacted]] and the Foundation predicts that SCP-3959 could [[OhCrap redacted the entire rest of the book in less than 1000 hours if exposed.]]]]

* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2100 SCP-2100]] is an underground facility located in Antarctica that is alien in origin and houses a neutron star that emits a steady beam of neutrinos. The SCP also seems to have some sort of fail safe to prevent personnel from messing with the equipment. This piques the Foundations curiosity further, especially since the neutron beam seems to be traveling faster than light and the 05 order the Foundation to move the beam away from the Milky Way Galaxy. [[spoiler:Naturally this turns out to be a mistake, since as soon as they moved the beam the neutron star slowed, the beam disappeared and astronomers immediately saw drastic changes in the Milky Way including 226 stars going supernova, 34 new black holes appearing, and 11 previously discovered stars disappearing without a trace. Interesting enough though none of these events actually ends up harming the Earth in any way, so the O5 don't do a Retcon despite the Site Director's pleas]].

A number of [=SCPs=] were either benign or dormant until the Foundation got their hands on them. It's only after some ill-conceived test is performed on it that it begins to become "uncooperative". When you're containing a minor deity, you do NOT want to make him uncooperative:

* A particularly memorable one is [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1322 SCP-1322]]. It's a portal to an alternate dimension. The inhabitants were friendly at first, until the Foundation offered to help them synthesize a vaccine to a viral epidemic on their side. Turns out the vaccine also acted as a SterilityPlague, dooming them to eventual extinction. They are ''pissed''.
** While not outright stated, it's strongly implied that the deadly viral epidemic (which was nothing but Flu) came from our world. So, the Foundation screwed the people in that alternate dimension *twice*.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-687 SCP-687]]: A test subject used it to escape through time and become The Cleveland Torso Killer and Black Dahlia Murderer.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1337 SCP-1337]] was harmless, until a rogue Foundation doctor had her parents executed and her home demolished. [[EyeScream Now she]] [[AndShowItToYou isn't]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1777 SCP-1777]]: Researchers accidentally kill a man who was given a weapon by an SCP. [[spoiler: Nice job killing King Arthur's heir.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1970 SCP-1970]]: Just an old TV that used tiny glowing humanoids for pixels until [[spoiler: researchers opened the glass and accidentally killed them.]]
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2003 SCP-2003]]: In one test, Foundation attempts to delay or prevent a society-destroying nuclear exchange in 2058 cause it to happen ''sooner''.
* This may have happened with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2399 SCP-2399]], a powerful self-repairing alien weapon that crashed on Jupiter and the Foundation assumed was headed to Earth:
--->██/██/1985- ''Period of radio silence, BARRIER Array'' (Foundation signal-jammer) ''is established''.\\
██/██/1996- Unit is out of range of target: Proceed to planet #3 in system
* Another maybe: [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-179 SCP-179]] [[spoiler: is a Thaumiel-class entity orbiting the sun who would point out dangerous things that were headed to earth, enabling the Foundation to save the planet. When a Foundation researcher was able to speak to her in 2003 she seemed to interpret his questions about her past as asking her to protect the earth (and possibly communicate with the Foundation) ''only'', which she simply couldn't do as there were "others" out there she cared for. The logs end with her not communicating or moving (pointing at threats) regardless of whoever is trying to speak to her]].
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2995 SCP-2995]], a tiny but powerful star in an underground facility in China, [[spoiler: is the only child of the Sun and is ''very'' displeased that the Foundation prevents its father's worshipers from freeing it from its cradle-turned-prison]]:
--->My fires will too scorch the heavens.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1122 SCP-1122]]: On a less deadly note, the family living in [[ZeeRust The House of Tomorrow]] isn't adjusting to the present very well:
--->Each new item has, without fail, had a negative effect on the house’s inhabitants. SCP-1122-1 [dad] has frequently been seen drinking, lamenting how [[IWantMyJetPack "things should be better,"]] while SCP-1122-3 [daughter] and SCP-1122-4 [son] have become more introverted and are rarely seen outside their rooms.
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-066 SCP-066]]: It was just a ball of colorful thread that made music and produced incredibly adorable effects... Then the Foundation just had to cut a bit of it off.
* The potential for this to occur due to gratuitous usage of D-classes (which, let's face it, is most of the time) is brought up on one talk page:
--->"It always bugs me when they send in the D-Class before the drones or lowered cameras or whatever. Good thing these dimensions always just contain a monster that eats D-Class personnel rather than, say, a button that makes the first person who presses it turn into a living God or something."
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2310 SCP-2310]] caused the Foundation to wreck itself when an overeager site director ordered at least a dozen tactical personnel into a house that effectively killed them all by [[IdentityAmnesia replacing their memories]]. Fortunately for everyone involved the replacement personality was [[NotWithTheSafetyOnYouWont ignorant about firearms]].
* The [[WellIntentionedExtremist Global Occult Coalition]], which aims to destroy all anomalous items regardless of their actual threat, is ''all about this'': They turned a [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1609 helpful chair]] into a very defensive pile of splinters, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1261 wiped out a village]] just because they were "infected" with harmless, "imaginary" (or were they?) flightless birds, and shot down an unknown spacecraft with a laser satellite... said spacecraft contained thousands of ''embryos'' from a (hopefully) alternate version of Earth suffering from a sterility plague.
* [[{{Aversion}} Averted]] with [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2240 SCP-2240-1 and -2]], a guy and his dead lover's ghost(?), respectively (perhaps they learned their lesson after what happened to [[BewareOfHitchhikingGhosts SCP-1337]]):
--->Regardless of whether we're dealing with a bona fide ghost or just a delusional reality bender, there is no reason to risk angering an invisible lover by putting 2240-1 through a gauntlet of invasive tests.
* Also applies to some of the [=SCPs=] themselves, sometimes due in part to Foundation intervention. [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2091 SCP-2091]], for example: A devoted grandfather didn't want his orphaned granddaughter to be at the mercy of strangers after his death. So he transferred himself into an animated bear statue. Well, she didn't have to go into foster care. Instead, they're now both locked up indefinitely by the Foundation (by the time of the entry, for four years).
* [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2803 SCP-2803-A]] is giant tumor that makes video games (SCP-2803-B is its "employees"). It was perfectly happy being a tech tycoon until it had an email interview with a Foundation researcher reminded it of its old job "obliterat[ing] [DATA EXPUNGED]":
