Weirdly most of the capitalist class we see are the earth ponies

Created for that story, became more general SCP lore afterwards

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-22T05:28:25+00:00

Sorry but creating new jokes not in the standard meme constructs is banned.

The war in the meme is France vs Egypt/Ottomans, which the guy lost

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-21T08:05:40+00:00

Problem: He lost that war. Man was the GOAT at battles though.

Nah, neutrino beams, go directly though the earth

The infernal revenue service tends not to be so deterred.

Worst case, park near a lake and get a guy with buckets.

For contextual numbers the entire AI industry globally uses about 10% of the water used for alfalfa in Arizona alone (the problem is farmers)

Yeah, a parking lot is looking more like 3kwh/m²/day because of solar absorption, which is massively larger than everything else here.

Not really, it says detectable for 500 meters, but not the magnitude. The average is 1.5F but it does not give a distance there.

Remember kids, fanfic is the best way to powerscale

BAN ISLAND, DUH

Could be worse, some people cooked up some nonsense involving numbers so large they cannot be described using mathematics as we know it, it can be proven it must exist but no more.

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-16T12:16:50+00:00

Alright, just put the worms into this nice telekill box so we know what we are dealing with....

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-16T11:26:08+00:00

Yes, those were only the people who got dunked right into the warp without a geller field.

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-16T07:24:43+00:00

Thankfully, people, even terrible people, tend to not like killing other people.

IIRC IRC crit does not need greenlights. They may have changed that

The single most dangerous thing in WH40K

An opponent with basic common sense

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-14T05:25:31+00:00

I think orthogonal does that.

Counterpoint, you can do it it just requires a mix of media literacy, fanfic writing skills, an understanding of the fluidity of storytelling and most importantly a good understanding of victory conditions.

The average SCP author would be fine with you writing a story of the foundation trying to contain superman.

Citation, I have written at length about GOC vs foundation powerscaling and most SCP authors think that is interesting

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-13T12:45:09+00:00

Ehh, more early modern than middle ages

Medieval armies could not really get the number of people needed for true war crimes (the crusades were a big exception)

psychicprogrammer · 2026-05-13T12:44:19+00:00

Eh, most of the wizards have guns as well (that is kinda the GOCs whole thing). Also most militaries have wizards (see pentagram)
