“Um… did you guys lose a researcher by the name of Dr. Clark Clarkson? He’s in my arcade. Just sort of fell out of the ceiling. Says he’s SCP…”
If we did, I am unaware of it. This is to be expected, however.
Apple. Several. Opinions
—— dir. Jan Kolasinski, S170
I have no strong opinions on apples. At most, I find them neutrally agreeable.
What do you do with a drunken sailor
Dumpster.
Do Mekhanites actually drink window cleaner, or was my site director just tormenting me?
Hello, as I have stated in the past, I would prefer that all mentions of anomalous religion be brought up with entities outside of myself. I am not well versed in any of them, and I have neither the time to spare nor any desire to alter this state of affairs. I especially do not wish to discuss anything Mekhanite or Nälkä related, with the sole exceptions being my sibling, O5verthinking's SCP-5228 "The Pasta Surveyor" and my colleague O5-1 "The Founder". Thank you for understanding.

The Overseer was approached by a member of its support staff, a very quiet man who would be approaching retirement soon. This man was so quiet they often didn't realize he was present, so it was only natural that they concluded he must have something fairly important to raise.
"You may speak at any time, Safavi." Xyr tone was slightly more irritated than xe actually felt, but xe either didn't realize or didn't care. "You don't need my permission."
Safavi shuffled awkwardly, "Right..."
Several seconds of dead air passed, and the Overseer was about to urge him to continue, when he managed to find his resolve.
"You're Antarctican, right?" Perhaps if he had been less nervous, he'd have worded it more accurately, perhaps he would have given more context than holding up the novel he'd been reading.
Ten started to turn around to face him fully as she responded, "I suppose that could be said, yes. Why--" before she finished her question, she saw the cover. White, a light blue rectangle near the spine, a painting of some ice figure, and the title Antarctica, that gave some information, at least. Perhaps, if it kept up on current fiction writing, the author name could have given it some further information.
Safavi blushed in embarrassment, realizing that what he was about to ask could make him look incredibly stupid. "Well, what is the language like there?"
Ten blinked, "Similar to the Foundation, broadly, there's a lingua franca that is similar enough to where it's spoken elsewhere, with a few specific jargon terms. I'm not sure what you're asking me."
The staffer inhaled, steeling himself for a negative reaction, "Well, in my book, they call scientists "beakers" and--"
"Why?"
"I--don't know?"
"I know you don't, that was rhetorical. I assume this is set on a research base, and I can't imagine the primary research conducted down there involves beakers at all. Some of it, sure, but most of it?"
"It's set at McMurdo..."
"Well, I've never been there."
If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so?
I am fascinated by this question, as it indicates some belief that I gave ever loved anyone or anything. I do not use that language and do not feel it is accurate to my experience at all. Love is stressful, and I dislike thinking about kt.
Additionally, I have only experienced romantic and familial relationships for far less than a decade, so my understanding is uninformed, at best.
Assuming I am understanding how the word "platonic" is intended in this specific context, the differences are both very granular and very significant. These relationships present differently, by default, but the emotions involved are also distinct.
The only comparison coming to mind is how an acid burn, a base burn, and a temperature burn are all distinct, while being incredibly similar at the same time. That may be an uncomfortable metaphor for others.
So I take the no emoji rule doesn't applies to ask games, or do we have to type out the full question without the corresponding emoji?
I won't be reblogging any that contain emojis for the time being to avoid such an issue. I apologize for not thinking to specify on that front.
