For additional context: this was the winning entry in the SCP's Short Works Contest[1]. The idea was: can you make a good SCP entry in under 500 words? Bonus points if it's under 237 words, the length of the first ever entry.
Of course, the entry with zero words won.

- hatsuseno 5y agoSeems like that's a common thread for 'shortest X' contents, like that 0-byte IOOCC entry.
- selestify 5y agoWhat's IOOCC (no Google results), and what was that entry? Could you link to it?
- chowells 5y agoIt's a misspelling of IOCCC - international obfuscated C coding competition.
- Skunkleton 5y agoDoes misspelling count as obfuscation?
- zerocrates 5y agoThey probably meant to say "IOCCC," the International Obfuscated C Code Contest and they're referring I think to this entry: https://www.ioccc.org/years.html#1994_smr https://www.ioccc.org/years.html#1994_smr

- Jarwain 5y agoThe SCP Foundation is a fictional wiki describing paranormal objects or entities (each labeled SCP-##), written from the perspective of the "SCP Foundation", SCP standing for Secure, Contain, Protect. Each page describes a new object, research done on the SCP, and containment protocols. It's a fun read and easy to get sucked down a rabbithole
- askvictor 5y agoSCP also stands for "Secure Containment Procedure" when used in the context of a numbered SCP, as distinct from the SCP foundation. I really like this from the idea of conveying information - the containment requirements come first as they're most important. It's a useful thing to think about when writing and email. Also really like it as a global collaborative writing project.
