It'd be the kind of thing I'd want a historian's help with. Things like including chairs in a region where chairs weren't popular until the 16th century.

I have a vague recollection of an SCP buried in the Terms and Conditions of a software licence that does DATA EXPUNGED ITS HORRIBLE THE HORROR THE HORROR DATA EXPUNGED but it's classified as safe because no one on the planet is so far recorded to have actually read it. Maybe a joke SCP? Might have been read by the SCP Legal department, and no one cared it happened to a Lawyer.

They tried sealing every orifice, and after a few months it grew a new anus. But during those few months everything was fine. And the bugs are indestructible, so you don't have to worry about keeping them alive. Seems like the containment is obvious. Cruel, but obvious.

Once they're in space, you just have to point them in the right direction and the poop will self-propel them.

Seems to me, since it took 2 months for the thing to start pooping again after being sealed, you just seal them all up, shove them in the rocket, and launch them towards the sun. Two months to get them onto the rocket and launched from time of sealing. Not a difficult time table.

If the author thought of that, of course, there would be some kind of addendum that was like "also we tried that but somehow it made 682 escape and kill like an entire orphanage also there was a lot of poop".

When they put them in the rocket they started pooping faster! Look I'm sorry but it's pretty iron clad.

Now I'm wondering about kinetic energy and relativity related issues. :v: The most obvious set of answers implies that the bugs will eventually accelerate to a ridiculously high percentage of light speed.

Drop them through that portal to the moon. It's just a few dozen ladybugs, so a model rocket under the weight limit for the portal should be enough for them to reach escape velocity on the moon.

Yeah, just glue them all together so their anuses point the same direction, and away they go!

Feed them to the half-a-cat. Then it's some other universe's problem.

(My headcanon for the half-a-cat is that her body is stuck in a very small interdimensional portal and that some parallel Foundation, in a distant part of the multiverse, has her other half.)

Or give them to the guy who randomly hops between dimensions and tell him to drop them off on his next jump. The Foundation is not lacking in ways to send things to other dimensions. I think there's about five entries featuring some sort of bottomless pit or one-way portal to another world.

There's also that one about a cell phone that transports you to Hell if you answer it with no one else present, but I don't think that will help with the ladybugs.

There was something about an inscription found in the original location of the ladybugs, which appeared to be a prayer in Latin from a group of people seeking immortality and invulnerability, plus something about creating eternal monuments. I guess the idea is that whatever God they were praying to (there were references to great worms and locusts, so an insect God?) granted that wish by turning them into poop bugs? But I agree that indestructible infinite-poop bugs don't really need a backstory.

Though I also like Facebook Aunt's idea about anomalies being dumped in our world by some Foundation-like group trying to get rid of them. Are there any articles based on that premise already?

Does anyone remember what SCP # is that alien probe that sends out a signal to test if the people of a planet are capable of a certain level of technology, and if they send a signal back it sends a message to their homeworld? It also had an Arecibo message-style image of an alien. I think a goon wrote it.
