It took forever, but it hit me when you summed up the future predictions about halfway through. I love how it’s not at all out of character for the SCP foundation to be running all their ideas by a magic 8 ball. Now my question is, what if it was just a normal magic 8 ball and the foundation gaslit itself into protecting this hunk of plastic out of confirmation bias.

As a nerd who loves ancient tech, I really like the reference to the Antikythera Mechanism at the end when talking about the device's history For context, it is a clockwork mechanism created in ancient Greece found in the early 20th century stored in Athens' museum. Modern analyses using Xray to count the gear tooth reveal it was a complex device that could predict the movement of planets with impressive accuracy (there's a great bbc documentary about it that goes into further details, it is insane, they even accounted for the minute changes in the speed of the Moon around the Earth)

Haven’t read the wiki on this one yet, but I’ve got my prediction. Hishakaku organized the theft of SCP-8888 in an attempt to first undermine, then overthrow the O-5 Council, asserting himself as the sole leader.
@rocki_bb 9 күн бұрын
I see your prediction and raise you mine. SCP-8888 foresaw/predicted Hishakaku harming the SCP in some significant way involving SCP-8888 & made another prediction to avoid the situation which involved the SCP stealing SCP-8888 from itself. We already know all SCP-8888's predictions have been made for the SCP.

If everyone is so convinced that Hishikaku is a terrible person who sucks at his job, then why does the Foundation still employ him? Why did they ever hire him in the first place? How can he possibly be this freaking bad? I'm really tired of it. If he works for the Foundation at a high level, then he should have been exhaustively evaluated again and again and again thousands of times; it should not be possible for him to still have a position of such authority if he has no redeeming qualities.
