### Post:

[SCP-3159, entitled The Trashiest World in the Multiverse](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3159). Features a transcript from a parallel-universe Jerry Springer. On the lighter side for an SCP. Basically an attempt on my part to crystallize some of what's unsettling about daytime TV.

[SCP-3171, entitled When the Bell Tolls](http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3192). A clock that tells you the time of your death. Partly based on suggestions people gave me in one of the munchkinry threads here. A little long. 

A failed SCP entitled [Statistical Significance](http://zoltanberrigomo.tumblr.com/post/167426702262/statistical-significance). This one features only real-world facts, accurately described. Most people on the site hated it, complaining it was too densely written.

> Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it almost looks like SCP-3285-004 and SCP-3285-005 are the votes that happened on 1/7/2015 and 9/20/2017.
> 
> Nice writing.

> **u/entropizer** [+2]  (a day later)
> 
> I don't like Statistical Significance because SCP's shouldn't be mundane. I really like When the Bell Tolls.

>> **u/LiteralHeadCannon** [+7]  (2 days later)
>> 
>> I like it as a thought, but it really doesn't work within the context of the SCP Foundation.  Surely the Foundation has numerous ways to prevent a threat so mundane as nuclear war.

>>> **u/LogicDragon** [+1]  (2 days later)
>>> 
>>> It might work if it weren't the anthropic principle but some kind of benevolent (or "benevolent") anomalous force. Or maybe it *is* the Foundation intervening somehow.

> 
> Either under or less than.

> I think Statistical Significance would be interesting as background data for another SCP. Perhaps something that ties the anthropic principle together with the temporal shenanigans present in 3171. As-is, it's more like an excerpt from a trivia article than an anomalous object.
