SCP-3159, entitled The Trashiest World in the Multiverse. 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. 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. 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.
u/alliteratorsalmanac [+2] (6 days later)
Too smart for the SCP wiki, eh?

Small typo
The Norwegian rocket incident of 1995 (when Russian radars recorded an unexpected missile launch, consistent with an attack from a nuclear-armed submarine, projected to hit Moscow in under than 5 minutes
Either under or less than.
u/None [+1] (2 days later)
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.
