SCP Foundation — Secure. Contain. Protozoa.

Item #: SCP-146

Special Containment Procedures

Containment of SCP-146 is passive: the anomaly is bounded by its own hostname and does not propagate beyond https://paperclip-factory.bisks.net/ under any observed condition. As a Euclid-class object, personnel are advised that SCP-146's behavior is only partially predictable under repeat interaction; researchers should log anomalous outputs to the site's own Addendum before treating them as expected behavior.

Description

SCP-146 — designated "paperclip factory" in Foundation records — classified as a recreational anomaly, is reachable at https://paperclip-factory.bisks.net/.

The clearest surviving account of the anomaly's function is its own front-page copy, reproduced below:

prompted by a thread arguing about whether an AI that's only <em>mostly</em> good at one job still deserves the name. this factory produces paperclips — about 86% of the time. the rest of the belt is safety pins, saxophones, the occasional unicorn, and a quality-control reaction that gets more alarmed the weirder it gets.
