I think we are going to either wipe ourselves off the planet, unless A.I. gets it done first. I'm terrified of A.I. I think we have definitely gone too far with all this "playing God" stuff.
@@Juliett-we7tcif u look into ai its actually not as far along as you might believe they Programmed it to trick you into thinking that.

I’m so glad I found this channel its hard finding good iceberg content where the creator puts passion behind it instead of just reading off a ChatGPT generated script
I worked with a dude who stumbled on to SCP videos, and later the wiki, thinking they were some massive government leaks, he literally came to work mind blown and terrified :D
I remember seeing this iceberg last year, I actually contributed by adding "Dinosaur Takeover," "Rogue Reality Bender," and "You Wake Up." So crazy to see someone covering it and talking about the ideas I added, glad you liked it and love the video
as someone who is/has been obsessed with the scp and creepypasta universe as well as apocalyptic stories in general, i am obligated to recommend the magnus archives podcast
The funny thing is about The Battle Cats is that their origin was explained in the old removed version where they are by USA as a superweapon against Japan for being to peaceful.
For me, the scariest part of nukes isn't that we'll willingly use them, but an accidental detonation being mistaken for a nuclear attack by an adversary.
Man I remember leading up to 2012 I was pretty nervous (also very young at the time so give me a break haha), I mean by the time it actually came around I was pretty confident the world wasn't ending, but what cracks me up is every single time the world doesn't end the theorists go into full damage control like "oh its actually 2029" or "the world actually DID end and this is the afterlife" or any other cope haha. Anyway great video as always man! Love the topics you cover. Edit: at a later point now, regarding the shy guy SCP there is a really cool short film here on youtube just called "096," highly recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it, super well done imo
I may be wrong, but I think the megafauna one is referring to megafaunal mass extinction. Throughout human existence we’ve seen a mass dying off of megafauna and the ones that are left, that aren’t domesticated, are mostly in decline. Their extinction is a threat not only because of their place in the food web, but also due to impact they are supposed to have on the environment.
I would watch a Video where you talk about ever Single SCP that exists, no matter how long that Video might be. The way your voice sounds kinda calming, you explain things interessting but easy to understand and your humor made me binge watch your Videos for days now. I already love watching your Videos after work every night with a hood wine
Thank you so much for this comment! I AM planning on doing an SCP video in the near future, but covering EVERY single SCP might be a bit much ahah (there's lots!) Thanks again so much for your support, hope you're enjoying the wine!
@@connors-curiosities Yeah, tjat would be a lot and way too much work. Bur i'm Just saying that i, personally, would watch such a long Video if it's made by you. You Do a great Job and i hope you continue what you do
The whole idea of a tidally locked planet has been used in Star Wars: Ryloth, the home planet of the Twi'lek (the tentacle-headed humanoids often seen as strippers or associated with crime) is tidally locked to its sun, so they have built a belt of civilization at the border between the light and dark side, as well as extensive underground tunnels
@@TheSCPStudio I don't even know what's canon and what's not, after Disney took my beloved universe to the chopping block. Is the Clone Wars series still canon? Because there is a "siege of Ryloth" arc early in the series (with the CIS using Twi'lek civilian hostages as meat shields to prevent republic forces from bombing their positions - war crimes yay!)
Supervolcanos don't typically erupt in explosions. 95% of them are just lava flows, including the Yellowstone one. The USGS has confirmed a Yellowstone lavaflow would only endanger the Yellowstone National Park.
So what I took from this is that memes are the perfect reflection of what the world is feeling at that time, and looking at memes evolution from bad luck Brian to whatever you think of now perfectly aligns with society’s evolution. It really is amazing.
soo happy to find your channel! these types of videos really ease my anxiety and i love that u do actual research cuz recently ive been getting alot of iceberg vids where people are mispronouncing stuff and giving misinfo 😭
Got the day off just enjoying my morning n found this video 2 hours of quality content it’s really hard to find something like this today Rn im 1h in and you are explaining everything sooo specific that everyone could understand! You’re great mane keep it up!💪🏻
From stupidly huge volcanoes beneath us, concepts that make the brain pulse with annoyance and the horrors of the void, all of this cumulates in the darkest realm of thougyt and mystery that our species could ever concieve or bear witness to... Brazil
Don't worry you weren't the only one wondering what's outside of the universe, and what's outside of that, and what's outside of that, and what's outside of that.... Also what came before the Big Bang, and what came before that, and what came before that, and what came before that... And all as I was sitting in bed as a kid having my own existential crisis just trying to go to sleep
Hey man your stuff is right up my alley, hate to say it took Wendigoon for me to find you but ill sub no the less great vids and i wish you the best going forward.
Have you considered that the Brazil entry could be related to the 1985 dystopian movie? 🤔 Btw, I've been binging your channel over the weekend and I love your content. ❤
The Grey Goo Scenario just reminded me of this game called Star Control 2, which was an old MS-DOS game. You can play it for free by finding something called "The Ur-Quan Masters" if I remember properly. It has a bunch of 3DO Content addons that I would say improve the experience with the dialoge & whatnot. Anways, getting back on topic, there is an Enemy you start seeing once you enter Hyperspace. One of these enemies are known as Slylandro Probes. I think they looked something like Red Crystalline things with electricity running through/between them. I don't recall how you find out, but you find out they were probes sent via a race of beings that can't leave their planet (Think maybe they were for of lifeform living cloud type beings that couldn't leave due to nothing being able to be done via materials/ship making. These probes priority for breaking targets down into materials for making more copies of itself was accidently set to the highest priorioty, meaning instead of giving information about the aliens they were used by, they instead after a bit instatnly turn hostile to you. Make sure to ensure your settings are done properly. Get someone knowledgeable to double check your work. 😆
The Noospheric Contamination seems to be something I have seen in Fallout and which is a part of other stories set after an apocalyptic event. All structures and authorities break down, so any semblance of humanity and society before the collapse is gone, with different survivor groups, some driven by drugs or madness, developing their own completely new and different values and systems, far away from the norms of the pre-apocalyptic society.
Im glad ive spotted your chanel content is fantastic keep up the good work also i hear a slight welsh there in your accent if im wrong please correct me im just a huge fan of the welsh accent probably the most amazing accent in the world
love this channel so much and I'm so glad I found it! a couple of suggestions for future videos: ocean iceberg? and would you be able to add your sources in the description? :)
Excited to watch! But right out the gate, what's going on with your camera? It's getting striped after image of you when you move. Hm, I'll pretend it's because you're secretly a SCP, and move along with watching.
Brazil is probably referring to the movie Brazil and that we are just sitting in a dentist chair getting our brains drilled out but it’s destroying our mind so badly that we think we are actually a brave knight flying to heaven with the love of our life in our arms. Watch Brazil, it’s a great movie. It has Robert D’nero in it
33:23 space expands within its own boundries. Imagine a grid on a a4 peice of paper, imagine that the grid is space, now imagine this grid becoming smaller and smaller. So youve created more space but the a4 peice of paper stays the same. Its kinda the same with the expansion of space
Per your time collapse theory: If we were to freeze time, I don’t think we would see just darkness I think the photons themselves are also effected causing them to also stay in place therefor making everything into a “picture” essentially But much like you, something I never thought about until you said something 😂
There may be a high degree of overlap, but "The Simpsons" Apocolypse Iceberg would be so entertaining! I mean, a whole town of billboards trying to kill you would be a good starter..."just don't look, just don't look".
Ok as a writer, I kinda love the idea of a pataphysical world and god. Humanity is a long and epic tale being written by some sort of entity. Sort of nice in a way
Wild theory for how the world will end? Let me know down below! 💜
Rogue experiments.... we are going to create something we cannot stop
I think we are going to either wipe ourselves off the planet, unless A.I. gets it done first. I'm terrified of A.I. I think we have definitely gone too far with all this "playing God" stuff.

33:23 space expands within its own boundries. Imagine a grid on a a4 peice of paper, imagine that the grid is space, now imagine this grid becoming smaller and smaller. So youve created more space but the a4 peice of paper stays the same. Its kinda the same with the expansion of space
These got dumber and dumber as they went on. Some of them are literally stories from fiction books.

Reverse rapture sounds alot like that one Black mirror episode where one scientist was able to prove that there is an afterlife.

How do we know Earth isn't a C'Thulu egg?
The black hole is umm missing sir
“Wtf you mean it’s missing? Who lost it ?”
It went into.. ANOTHER BLACK HOLE!!
Interesting thought about freezing time making humans unable to see
Per your time collapse theory:
If we were to freeze time, I don’t think we would see just darkness
I think the photons themselves are also effected causing them to also stay in place therefor making everything into a “picture” essentially
But much like you, something I never thought about until you said something 😂
