Discussion Which anomaly is far less dangerous, to the Foundation and/or in general, than people imagine?
In other words, which anomaly is significantly overrated in terms of the danger it poses?
This might be a controversial opinion, but I think SCP-055 fits the bill.
Sure, we don’t know what it is, who it is, or where it comes from, and we forget about it all the time, but if it were truly dangerous, the world would have ended by now. Since we’re still here and everything is normal, and the world hasn’t ended, I don’t think it’s actually that dangerous.
It’s not exactly an easy entity to contain, but it’s highly overrated, as it poses no long-term danger.
