SCP 610: Fleshy Sarkic disease that consumes life and turns it into mindless zombies and abominations
SCP 6217: Oily Mechanite disease that consumes life and turns it into mindless zombies and abominations
Crazy how these things come full circle, hmmm?
I was just commenting something like this🤣. Both got their super disease that assimilates and disfigures.
SCP Foundation: "Hold on. What if we throw 610 at 6217 and hope they cancel each other out?"
@@RelativelyBest It would go reaaaaaaaalllly badly for 610, based on this.
These two being the sides of the same freaking coin of human suffering :v
I wonder an SCP/tale were they discover Mekhane and Yaldabaoth to be just the same entity messing with humans for whatever reason
@@RelativelyBest Keter duty be like.
Some toaster worshippers: "Maybe we should unbroke our broken god"
Foundation: *_Ah [REDACTED] here we go again_*
Time to un-unbreak this slag.
If we are a toaster, does that mean we are the broken god?
@@Gloomdrake no, I think I'm just a toaster. I mean me. Wait...
...spoilers
broken god followers are protogens with extra steps
Makes you think that the natural endpoint of this scenario is where Yaldaboth steps in as the antithesis to Mechane's thesis, smashing him back to pieces and creating a new universe. The ultimate Hegelian dynamic.
Oh, I like the hell out of that concept.
Well if a force creates an equal but opposite reaction then I think we could see something arise from a certain town in Massachusetts, something primordial, chaotic and all devouring
We then find out yaldaboth and mekane are one and the same😂
Or what if they smash instead?
I mean, they’ve always seemed like a balancing force in the SCP Universe to me. One might be meat and the other machine, one might represent chaos and the other order, but they’re both forces of creation. I don’t think it’s too far of a stretch to assume that, macro picture, they’re just two sides of the same coin
As a physics and chemistry teacher, I have to say that scientific terms used here are not at all random, and I like that, even if it is clearly fictional. I like these kind of details. The author may have some nice scientific background.
What do you mean fictional?
@@bradymiller9096 they mean that despite the story being untrue (there isn't really magic God iron that transforms stuff it touches into more of itself) a lot of the scientific terms used in the article are used pretty accurately

@@gravyd316 this is so much more annoying than missing a joke
"I have logically established that you have no free will, making your resistance pointless."
"Then why are you trying to convince me to stop resisting? Like, why would that even matter if I have no choice either way?"
"Um..."
I thought this also. Another point is "My god created everything even the natural laws that fundamentally drive the universe." "Then why did he have to change them to bring about the necessary form of life. Why didn't he just do that to start with?" they really half assed the determinism argument and Poor Chugaev did not have the tools or capacity in that situation to defend himself or his humanity.
@@anamewithnoface1330 Right. It always gets weird when characters who favor determinism have to _convince_ the ones championing free will to give up and accept that fate is static and immutable, as if that even matters from their perspective.
Like, suppose an omnipotent, omniscient creator deity does indeed exist and this being has this flawless design for the entire universe, from beginning to end, too grand for us mere mortals to comprehend. If so, then atheists only exist because that entity has judged that they _should_ exist, because they serve some grander purpose within that design. So, why do religious people even give a shit in the first place?
@@RelativelyBest I dont exactly know what happened right there, but it seems I may have deleted my comment somehow. but I have read your reply. Very nice to have a positive interaction in the comment section. Especially on such an otherwise esoteric concept. Wishing you well, friend.
@@anamewithnoface1330 Yeah, I got kinda confused there for a moment as well. I decided to delete a reply and just repost to start over, but in the process it seemed to delete your reply as well, which doesn't make sense?

90 minutes later: *existential dread*
¿Que?
How do you get existential dread from this, it’s not real, what should give you existential dread is our society is gonna collapse within the next 6 years because of governments
Welp, didn't expect to stumble into another super deterministic universe conundrum. And I can't help but imagine Mekhane somewhere in the aether of SCP deities, looking down at his followers and shaking his head. Like, "Hey, I sacrificed my wholeness to contain this fleshy b**ch, can you *please stop trying to get be back together?!"*
Awesome work as always, TES
Thicc goddess
yeah considering they've essentially created a mindless all consuming beast virus constantly integrating new flesh into into its mass, it's basically just iron based sarkicism at that point.
It is interesting how its so similar to 610.
I dont understand it completely but what is the real difference between organic and synthetic?
Both can make mechanical constructs out of the same material.
I think thats the crux of the issue but when you break it down enough, they really are similar and the only difference is our descriptions. Are they really that different?
Taking this scp into mind, mekhane and yaldaboath is synthetic vs biological respectively.
@@desperado3236 the real difference between the two was supposed to be organized sentient thought and reason vs primal animalistic instinct and emotion. Individual souls vs a collective animalistic hive mind. Since the difference between biological and mechanical is arbitrary, but later scp stories forgot that and now they're pretty much the same thing. An insane cult making horrible flesh monsters.
Ohh finally, some Church of the broken God content. I do love this one because, in resent years, many articles kinda defaulted the Church as "good" vs Sarkism as "evil", when in reality they are both dangers to the Status Que.
It's odd when they center around one singular person, because these things just become the end of the world as the SCP wants it. So why is there a next number? World's dead, right? Or are we hopping over to C-138 and doing it all over again? That's why stories need to be stories and SCPs need to be SCPs. This is not an SCP, it's just a short novel. It contains no real usable canon simply because it's an end-point. There is no after, so why classify it as an SCP? Shove it in the stories archive where it belongs.
I want some Sarkism good SCPs thrown into the mix
@@downindeep369 I remeber one, not sure of the Number, that is a Woman that uses the whole Fleshbending to act as a Doctor. And the Sarkite Nation, that was covered on the channel, mentioned that it has the best Healthcoverage on Earth.
@@downindeep369 SCP (I forget the number) The Republic is a nation in Southeast Asia where Sarkicism is the majority belief system. It's a functioning, stable Democratic Republic that the GOC and Foundation have cordoned off for the sake of Normality. They're not warmongering or conquering or anything. They're basically a normal, sane civilization with Sarkicism being public.

ANOTHER 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTE BANGER!
Bless you, Mangg.
It seems there is always 2 constants:
-exploring will always make bangers of interesting material in just the perfect way that makes it nice to listen to at work.
-the Broken Church are going to fuck about and find out to our detriment.
Detriment? Did you not hear the words of The Broken God? The logic is irrefutable. You can fight it, if that is your nature. But even that serves the will of Mekhane.
I say we fuck around and find out.
I do find this interpretation of the Broken God wholly unique; rather than simply being a god of machines and information/sentience, this interpretation is much grander in scope. This version symbolizes mechanics of all kinds, from organic to inorganic, with energy and force being the tiniest manifestation of this Broken God.
What I personally find so fascinating is that - while this story has a bent towards Fatalism - the inherent dialogue used really reminds me of real-world discussions and rhetoric I've seen in regards to religion. While 'faith' is a common theme among Broken God SCPs, it's rare that the concepts and discussions had about The Broken God are anything *but* blind faith. Ironically because I disagree with their conclusions, it's particularly funny to me to see this sect essentially call every other Broken God sect "Too Individualistic," which is something I personally associate more with Sarkicism.

Thanks for giving us so many videos longer than an hour. It's a real treat. This is definitely one of the best SCP channels, and my personal fav.

These videos you've made have kept me sane while working, giving me lots of stuff to listen to. Sometimes I forget you still upload new ones instead of having already done everything😂
there r literally thousands of SCPs he's got content forever babyyyyyy
same! I've listened to every single minute of SCP content oh his. I work 8 hours a day, have a 30 min lunch break, and listen to 2-4 hours after work, be it music, podcasts, etc. took a suprisingly short time to get through all his content, but it's very enjoyable!
'what if chemistry just started working different one day, worldwide?'
it's the SCP version of the Dies the Fire series
Most of this channels stories are better than some movies i love how creative the writers are. And this mans has the perfect voice for it
Exactly. Well said.
I hope in my lifetime i will see triple a video games go into this universe, i mean imagine a horror game with this storyline, absolutely horrifying
I loved the ‘debate’ between the researcher and AI at the end. Very thought provoking, despite the scenario being so outlandish. Great video, as always
whats funny is the argument dies the moment you decide not to be a part. Because that must be the broken god's will. (Not to mention that the Anomalous routinely does things out of the rules of mechanics, and even further that some Anomalies directly contradict this one ofc, but that's SCP.)
Look up Sam Harris's debates on this if you enjoyed the free will stuff
@@awsomebot1 the claim that we don't have free will and all our actions and thoughts are predetermined doesn't hold up because that would make it impossible to have knowledge that such is the case
@@shawcrow5780 Why not? If a machine programmed to compute logically was fed "enough" accurate data, it should be able to reason out the nature of their workings and thought process, no?
@@EXaberz what is “logical?” what is “enough” data? the materialist cannot justify an answer these questions, nor can they justify what their criteria for justification are.
Ngl, the prospect of iron and sulfur turning into a tar like liquid infecting everything seems like the perfect fit for the blood of the broken god.
This isnt the first similar thing scp 217 clockwork virus is also known to be the blood of the broken god
Ah, the SCP named after me when I come out of my room for dinner
listening to this video while at work doing chemical analysis in iron samples collected from a lake was fantastic
When Day Breaks + Clockwork Virus = When the Broken God Breaks Chemistry
The authors description of B2 is just absolutely amazing
The fact that there are legends who can read long SCP articles and compile them into videos is just.. wonderful
Just got done with 6004 and you upload another one so soon? Hell yeah thank you!
I was worried for a few mins there when I didn’t get the notification lol
Same train and I thought it was because I live in the u.s.
Same for me. Otherwise, though, it might have returned to the four o' clock schedule.
These are my work audiobooks and have lasted me weeks. Thank you so much for all of these!
So happy to see this one done! I was lucky enough to help crit this one back when 6kcon was happening. Re_Spectators is one of my favorite fellow authors for their HEAVY use of scientific jargon. Another GREAT one of theirs is SCP-5814. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

@@michaelandreipalon359 kurw-oh wait
What's that supposed to entail?
I love high concept SCPs like this one. Some of them can feel a bit TOO big at times, with stuff like anime demons from the Kaktusverse or trying to tie 682 into every 001 proposal, but this feels like if Star Trek TNG and X-Files had a baby and the baby wound up outperforming both its parents.
SPOILERS:
I mean, "We needs to kill god with chemistry before we all become consumed by the holy apotheosis of the T1000" is fucking TASTY! SAVOUR IT.
Personal pet theory: 682 is 001. Some dudes found it, couldn't kill it, kept trying to kill it, realized something fucky was going on, gradually found other fucky things. Kept on trying to kill 682. It wasn't called that yet, though. One day, someone asked how they got started, what was the first thing that made them realize how crazy the world is, and they feel super embarrassed going "we found an immortal lizard", so that's why there's all these 001 proposals- every time you ask the question you get a different answer.
Scp 001 is a phenomenon that requires mystery to exist in the world, or the world will cease to exist. As the sense of mystery disappears from the modern world, the foundation needed to create a permanent source of mystery they could ensure. Thus, they made scp001 unknowable and constantly rotating and mysterious.
By telling you this, I've put all of existence in jeopardy
This is why the Scarlet King should be on call when this malarkey happens.
Ngl this first photo freaked me out but it kinda made sense as I watched the video
Interesting! This seems to break down the opposing ideas of Sarkicism and Church of the Broken God into a conflict between the chemical interactions of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen, and those of Iron and Sulfur. And whether he realised it or not, the Head Researcher was originally a Sarkic.
This was definitely a big inspiration for the idea (from my end at least while writing) because despite having different outcomes, both sarkicism and CotBG are manipulations of base elements. Part of me even might say they are the same base concept understood from different histories
Hm... I've heard about an interesting aspect of grey-goo-scenarios in general.
Essentially, what makes this scenario pretty impossible is simply heat generation.
Any work generates excess heat, as there is no process spending energy which is absolutely perfect.
And the insane amount of work changing anything into grey goo on a global scale, would simply generate enough heat to destroy the grey goo at some point. At least in all scenarios, where the grey goo overtakes everything in a rather short time (like hours, but even when talking in years).
On the other hand - we are playing with literal gods here, able to change the rules of the univers at will - so it get's some leeway :D
Weird to say but I HATE horror in all aspects but for some reason scp and namely this channel allows me to listen and let my imagination run amok and it’s not scary. Weird but I love it. Thank you for these videos and hope you continue this long into the future. I will continue to listen again and again. Thank you for these videos
Amen brother, or whatever the church of the broken god says
I'm exactly the same!
You should totally make a video going over some smaller SCPs that mess with the fundamentals of the universe! A good one to include in it would be SCP-2046.
So this SCP cannonically makes the pipes falling sound effect, got it
First impressions remind me of some cross between the Church of the Broken God, the Sarkic Cult, and maybe even the Daevites.
Robot cultist at the end sounds like master lvl reddit fedora tipper, this is great
As long as one drop of the oil exists, the joyous work continues.
SCP 674 please can you make a video about the exposition gun
This SCP is basically if Cthulhu decided to weaponize Ice-Nine and it's amazing.
Thank you, Exploring, for these video essays focusing on some of the higher-concept SCPs instead of just another one on 682 or 049.
Can you imagine the sarkites and the red death sitting there being eaten on a molecular level, turning into machines, thinking gg well played, rematch in another parallel uni.
Another great night listening to this man's voice.
The Exploring Series makes my end of the workweek... complete.
I don’t know if there are any other Magic: The Gathering players out there, but this gave me major phyrexian vibes and I was so happy with that

Beasts is absolutely amazing, glad ur hooked
I have always thought about writtting an SCP, but with just how much goes into making one it always seemed a bit daunting to me, even if it would get accepted when I finish it
I know how you feel, I sometimes come up with idea for some scp thought sound cool but I don’t think the way I write them out would allow them to be accepted, but it’s worth trying out
Started panicking when no 2 AM.
A great treat to listen to on a long shiddy drive, to a long shiddy job, on a (I'm sure) long shiddy Monday. Thanks man! 😊
Emergendeez nuts
These are like Saturday morning cartoons for me now.
Except they're released in either Sunday or Monday, depending on the time zones.
At the end there, the debate about free will follows so many of the same points of argument I would expect and use myself
Love your work, I've listened to practically all of your videos, always something to look forward to on workdays
Hanging out for a new lore topic exploring series. I like the SCP but would like to hear some other topics someday.
We've waited for so long... and it's here
That was some anime level bad philosophy at the end there. The most basic rebuttal to it is that _If everything in the universe is deterministic, then my rejection of your arguments are the will of your god. If I am a machine programed to falsely believe that I have free will, then you are the fool for trying to convince me to go against my programing._
I get that the good Doctor is under the influence of the anomaly and not functioning at full capacity, so no blame on him for falling for it, but it is a singularly bad argument.
Can the broken god priest really be called foolish if his actions were simply the products of his machinations as well? I think he's merely amusing in the fact that the doctor still believes in free will despite "machines" producing life-like behaviours before his very eyes like the cells and tentacles. Like when you see an interesting harmless box with a button and you push it just to see what it does. You know it will always do what it's been designed to do, but that doesn't mean you yourself know what that is.
The conversation is probably there just to clarify its own ideas to the reader as the priest has no real reason to try to convince the doctor other than his own amusement.
"Wait... It's all machines?"
"Always has been"
“What about bacteria and viruses?”
“Nanotechnology.”
“What about consciousness?”
“Operating system.”
This is really the only thing I look forward to during the week. It makes Mondays so much better
Thanks bud these narration get me through my shifts. Keep up the great work!
How to know if todays SCP is one of the weird ones; Number is post 6000, check,
TES video is more than 60 minutes, check.
Yeah, it's gonna be a weird one today.
So they finally patched SCP 217, it's a considerable upgrade.
I'm also pretty sure this was a Futurama episode
My man you are always coming thru in the clutch when I need something to get me through my nights at work
Anyone else watch this guy in the past years this is the guy I would watch in my childhood
This SCP is a wierd way to explain what "emergence" is.
1:19:57 is basically what it is, IIRC.
We ARE machines, in a way. Our cells are just molecular machines, built from molecules that we would consider dead and souless. Somehow, these molecules have combined to form life, and these molecular machines have combines to form us. This is emergence. Molecules are not "alive " in any sense of the word, but cells, which are just very specific arrangement of molecules, are. Our cells do not have a consciousnesses, a purpose, or even what we would call free will, but we do.
The sum is orders of magnitude more complex than the parts. Life can be born from dead building blocks, patterns can arise from pure randomness, and a God can emerge from all the laws and matter in the universe.
That's definitely NOT The Broken God. At 56:40 the cultist denies the free will, even talks about how all we have is instincts. But Mekhane specifically fought for the ability to reason, logic and choose for themselves. The instinct, this all 'make us whole' vibe? That REEKS of Sarkicism.
its mekhane and yaldabaoth lovechild they finally stopped fighting each other❤
One combat specialist, a 'tactician', and a scientist; the latter of whom bug out as soon as their partner is incapacitated on the grounds of 'don't worry about it'. I'm really starting worry about the Foundations field operations logistics, that is absolutely piss-poor team composition AND a sloppy deployment.
Fascinating. It's like a combination of strange matter infection and prion. Very cool.
The mentioning of instinct protecting him and sensing matter itself is dead reeks of yaldaboth. The god of flesh but also instinct and primal urges such as self preservation and continuation of life, usually as flesh monsters but that's not the point. Arguably you'd lose yourself in a Sarkic equivalent too but some imply retained individually for the more evolved.
"As long as one drop of the oil exists, the joyous work continues."
Me: If all life is predesigned, explain the platypus.
BG: Now hold on, I was drunk that day.
That tactician got shot in the arm and said: "Tis but a scratch" and walked it off. The fucking legend.
Emergence Day has arrived
"Everything is machine, to proceed as developed."

When Apollyon is “pretty simple” you really remember all the crazy SCPs read on this channel
SCP’s BACK ON THE MENU BOYS!
About seven years ago, I hit a bad mental health patch, and I became terrified of the fact that I fully believe that the mind is just an emergent property of the physical brain. My husband was studying meditation at the time, and any time he brought up the annihilation of the self, it would send me spiraling into anxiety and depression.
Once my situation had improved, I came to the conclusion that if there is any chance at all that free will is unfalsifiable rather than illusory, I am morally obligated to act as if it exists.
I may be a robot, but I'm not going down without a fight.
56:29 - 56:42 That's a very intriguing perspective and would probably make a good subject for a philosophical discussion or thought exercise.
I just use these to fall asleep very fast. Like 5 minutes tops and I'm passed out. Thank you monotone reading man, you've single handedly improved my sleep.
This is definitely one of my absolute favorite SCPs. Incredible cosmic horror revolving around an entity that usually just drives weaboos to fantasize about steampunk utopias. The incredible detail of scientific realism, especially during the submarine log, is just incredibly awesome.
Anybody else miss Lord Blackwood stories?
I always love hearing stories of the broken god
Big "From the moment I understand the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me." Vibes
Awesome i love the quality of your vids keep up the amazing work! Thank you so much
I thought this scp had something to do with the church of the broken god, my initial interpretation was that it was the oily blood of mekane itself.
“So, its always been machine?”
“Always has been”
I didn't expect this. I thought it was just going to be an anomalous emergence. I loved this, truly, but...I think I was moreso hoping for an anomalous emergence. No entity behind it. Just the universe itself inexplicably shifting paradigm, and chemistry as we know it coming undone. Safe bonds become unstable. Hydrophilic materials becoming hydrophobic. Acids behaving like bases. Not becoming bases. They are still acids, but what that means is quintessentially changed. Everything we understand about chemistry would become obsolete, and soon after, life itself.
It's reassuring to see the large #s of views on these videos, if It means what I hope it does; more to come for quite a while. 👍👍👍 keep up the good work.
Best 6 words in a TES video - "I'll be reading the excerpts verbatim."
That thing living in the toilet at Applebee's... Definitely a sarkic horror
