Item #: SCP - XXXX

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: A front company of the Foundation is to maintain copyrights to the social media app ████. Any uploads of SCP-XXXX are to be taken down for copyright reasons.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-2 are to be kept in medium-risk humanoid containment units, with the addition of sound-proof walls. Food is to be delivered intravenously, with personnel having no contact with SCP-XXXX-2 instances. Attempts to find the parent company of SCP-XXXX are ongoing.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a novelty iPhone app designed for the purposes of playing comedic sounds. The majority of these sounds are punchlines from comedic videos uploaded on now-defunct social media app ████, and testing has shown anomalous properties in ██% of these sounds, most of which only cause temporary memetic effects.

SCP-XXXX-1 is a sound effect that may be played on SCP-XXXX. Recordings, and even direct copies of the sound from the app’s files have not been shown to display the same anomalous properties. It consists of an unidentified male vocalizing the word “████” in what is believed to be a mocking tone. This sound effect has been shown to display an addictive property. Any human being hearing it will be compelled to hear the sound effect on a regular basis, regardless of whether anyone else is listening. When deprived of the app or sound, victims will go through extreme symptoms of withdrawal. Amnestics have not been shown to cure these effects.

Approximately █ days after initial exposure to SCP-XXXX-1, affected subjects will become instances of SCP-XXXX-2. SCP-XXXX-2 are humans only capable of recreating SCP-XXXX-1 with its anomalous effects without the use of SCP-XXXX. Within ██ days of becoming SCP-XXXX-2 instances, subjects will cease all physical actions. After reaching this point, SCP-XXXX-2 instances will repeatedly vocalize SCP-XXXX-1. Basic reflex tests have shown that SCP-XXXX-2 instances are still conscious.
