Anyone have a link/number to the SCP that was, I think, a pair of glasses that showed we were surrounded and observed by these huge, horrible monsters and the longer you wore those glasses, the closer they came to you, culminating in you getting killed/eaten by them.

Not quite how you remember it, but I think this is the one you're on about. You get killed gruesomely if you interact with the watchers, but otherwise they just sort of leave you alone.

There's one sitting on your bed, by the way. Just by the pillows. And there's another one by your window.

That's the one, thanks. Honestly, this type of SCP is my favorite because they reveal horrible things that interact with us without our knowledge, and I always like a good test/experiment log.

About the wacky / crazy researchers (please note, I'm going off my memory of a 'Site History' thread):

Originally, people were able to make whatever sort of 'character' they wanted. Then some writer decided to go whole-hog about it, and the rest of the higher-ups at the wiki realized that letting everyone be Practically-An-SCP-On-Their-Own was making people think that was okay. From then on, most 'characters' had to be a lot more mundane. The higher-ups were grandfathered in.

Character-Clef's gimmick of potentially being Satan was done by Writer-Clef on the fly during a decommissioning. He didn't think anything of it, but before he knew it, a ton of stories / fluff was written under the implication that Clef Was Satan. If I remember right, Writer-Clef considers it a bit of a Shame He'll Never Live Down. I can't remember the precise line, but it was something like "We don't want our SCPs to be Mary Sues, but our stories about how we kill Mary Sue SCPs made Mary Sue Researchers".

Personally, I wouldn't mind if every 'character' got the Unique Nerf Bat, with the exception of Bright. He's not overly powerful or anything, he's a guy that was doing an experiment on an SCP, it put his personality into it, and now Bright can never die because once someone puts the SCP on their neck, he's alive again.

This is the only canon researcher superpower and everyone knows it

Although they should cut the caption on the second picture to just "Dr. Gerald was told to take an ordinary school bus full of D-class to a nearby site" to make it funnier/not explain the joke.

So looks like they deleted SCP-1032. Can anyone tell me why it was so bad? I missed reading out on it. Or is there an Edit History link, which I can't seem to find?

Also, where are the Decomissioned SCPs kept? I can't find them on the site, and I wanted to link to the most terrible, self-inserty SCP of them all (other than Able); the nerd who could compel women to sleep with him and destroyed an entire facility after some Oedipus Complex things.

Ok after reading this I guess the idea is that Abel is attempting to kill every human he sees until he finds Cain and tries to kill him to get his revenge. At which point he'll die because of the Mark of Cain, only to eventually be reborn and start looking for Cain again. Or something along those lines.

Why does Cain have to have metal limbs though?

You didn't read back when Able used to explicitly wear "black pants with demon faces on them"? Also built a sword that incorporated drills and buzzsaws, because we "humans build such interesting blades"? poo poo was sickening.
Ideally Able shouldn't exist but if he has, they really should completely excise any mention of him using swords (which I'm guessing wouldn't be very farspread back in loving beginning of time) and have him use clubs or his bare hands, not being able to pull weaponry out of literal hammerspace, or have any respect for those who can best him because holy poo poo that is dumb

...this sounds interesting. Which one is this?

I think his entire thing is that he would always be present in a scene. Like, you'd have a paragraph that originally read:
"When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?"

But the SCP changed it to:
"When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? Also, Frank was there."

(you know this is a pretty big indictment of the annoying numbering/naming system of the website: every page is full of "anyone remember that SCP that could bla bla bla I totes forgot what his number was)

I feel really slow and dumb. I've read 093 several times, love it, understand that the object links to a dimension similar to ours where a god-like being visited us and revolutionised the world and started a huge war that had giant, lumbering monsters that would absorb people upon contact and the elders of this civilization fled to space and are waiting out the abominations.
Still, the last log confuses the hell out of me. What's with the leetspeak thing, and the guy flipping out near the end? Anyone could clarify that for me?

I thought it was kinda weird-cute until I got to the last 'access additional info' thing. It's pretty cool how it changes to Access logged. Delete/destroy after reading as per HP5810 re: forbidden knowledge disposal. Is that new? The hook of what Bugsy's true form is, now that's pretty clever.

...I don't really care for Redwall or anthropomorphic animal SCPs.

I liked the cropduster bit of the article. I've not seen the futurama episode but the fact that someone out there is doing human experiments in the wild is drat spooky. Or maybe not even experiments but full fledged 'wormfare'. It's a good and different take on parasitic species overcoming more advanced species.
But what the hell does 'TAGTTCGCTGTTC...' mean? Communication from the worms?

Nucleobases. They create nucleotides in the DNA (you know, Adenosine with Thymine, Guanine with Cytosine) which dictates a whole lot of our composition.
But I'm an idiot who barely passed high school biology so someone smarter than me could explain it better.
