Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: Due to the memetic nature of the anomaly, SCP-XXXX cannot be physically contained at this time.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a three-stage infectious cognitohazard which hijacks the thought processes of XXXX-1 to encourage its propogation, and is frequently mis-identified as a short story about an amusing event or anecdote. Progression is denoted both by the anecdote's level of complexity and the approximate incidence at which the anecdote takes up thought processes. While individuals infected with SCP-XXXX are difficult to identify in Stage 1 or Stage 2 of infection, at all stages they will utilize any method of gathering information (online search engines, library newsprint catalogues, gossip, etc.) for
"child receiving driver's license in idaho"the anecdote. While the exact phrasing of the XXXX-2 statement changes from month to month, the anecdote is identical across all XXXX-1 at any given time. Applying amnestics to one individual prior to counter-memetic neutralization will cause the SCP-XXXX statement to change in all affected instantaneously. How it does so is unknown.
[INFORMATION NOT AVAILABLE AT YOUR SECURITY LEVEL]

Stage 2: ([REDACTED]) At this point, XXXX-1 will begin seeing SCP-XXXXdid you hear about Mikey, the child receiving their driver's license in idaho? appear in place of text in written documentation.

Stage 3: ([REDACTED]) XXXX-1 who reach Stage 3 infection will become unable to cease thinking about the anecdote, and will display a low-level reality-altering ability, unconsciously altering physical and displayed text around them and inserting XXXX-2 information.
