Item #: SCP-023-J

Object Class: Keter

Special Containment Procedures: Due to the widespread nature of SCP-023-J, all online video hosting sites are to be monitored by Foundation webcrawlers. Manifestations of videos containing SCP-023-J are to be removed upon posting or detection with the accounts of the uploaders permanently revoked.

Description: SCP-023-J is a video titled "Ocean Waves", SCP-023-J does not appear to portray any sort of anomalous effects other than the influence it has on those that watch the video.

Individuals that experience this effect will become apathetic to the video first, before quickly escalating to annoyance. In some cases, the viewer may even be amused by the nature of the video as well. Those that have watched the video will feel a compulsion to spread the video's effects to others by hiding it under an alternate link or concealing it as a different video file entirely. The effects of the video's influence is widely known throughout the internet and has often been used as the reason for being passed around from viewer to viewer; usually with the intent to agitate those that watch as a practical joke.

Upon reaching a certain timeframe within the video, [DATA EXPUNGED] with infected individuals subconsciously begin to produce the music in the video whether by tapping their feet or humming the tune, further increasing the rate of infection. Any person that defends or excuses SCP-023-J as merely being "catchy" must be suspected of already being contaminated by SCP-023-J's influence.

Addendum 023-J: Site-59 Boardroom Meeting

Site-59 Staff Meeting Regarding The Dissemination of SCP-023-J


Agent Diogenes / Dr. J. Sorts / Dr. K. Stuff / Dr. "Pops" I. Oak / Researcher S. Corbette / Researcher K. Kara


Dr. Sorts: So is this all we have to spare?

Agent Diogenes: Looks like it. Everyone else is infected and we're the only ones with decent enough credentials qualified to find a solution to this sort of thing.

Dr. Sorts: Well, let's get to it then.

Dr. Stuff: Uh…

Researcher Kara: We've run the diagnostics on the anomaly. I still don't understand — how can one harmless video affect so many people?

Researcher Kara: How do we know that this isn't a trend? For all we know this could just be another flash in the pan on the internet. We know how low of an attention span they have.

Dr. Oak: Yeah, about that? This has been around since the early days when people began posting pictures of cats with purposely misspelled text. We've been observing this thing for years now and it doesn't seem to be stopping soon. If you told anyone they were based for posting Longcat in the early 2000's, they'd shoot you a weird look.

Dr. Stuff: Based? Wait, based on wh-

Researcher Corbette: Years, huh? I figured internet culture would let this thing die out.

Dr. Stuff: Look, I don't even know why I'm here. I'm just a veterinarian.

Dr. Oak: Kyle, shush. We're in the middle of a debacle here.

Researcher Corbette: What's the situation outside?

Agent Diogenes: Four more sites have been taken down by the anomaly. Sites 19, 45, 81, and 98 have been compromised.

Dr. Sorts: Look, do we have any solution at all for this? Anything?

Researcher Corbette: Doesn't seem like it's going to blow over anytime soon. We'll run some tests on those that have been affected by SCP-023-J to check if there's ways to mitigate it. Besides, we're under lockdown, nothing can get in or out. We're safe in here. What's the worst that could happen?

[Silence]

Dr. Stuff: I still don't know what "based" means.
