| 0:00.0 | Self-replicating SCPs. |
| 0:04.0 | There are lots of different ways of making an SCP threatening, from increasing its killing potential to making it hard to stop, to simply making it harder to understand. |
| 0:16.0 | One of the simplest ways of making a single SCP threatening is by giving it the ability |
| 0:21.6 | to easily reproduce. |
| 0:23.6 | Mostly, this is a trickier issue for the foundation to handle in containing it. |
| 0:28.6 | When one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight, and so on, the foundation |
| 0:34.6 | has to remain constantly vigilant, or things can quickly run out of control. |
| 0:40.5 | We're going to take a look at a handful of self-replicating SCPs, not all of which are threats, |
| 0:47.0 | but all of which can make more and more and more of themselves. |
| 0:53.0 | Let's begin with what is perhaps the most quintessential self-replicating SCP, 871. |
| 1:00.0 | SCP 871 is currently a collection of 237 cakes, varying wildly in appearance and size, |
| 1:08.0 | covering the entire range of foods described by humans as cake. |
| 1:13.7 | The smallest observed so far was a mini cupcake, with the largest being a 22-kilogram Baum Kuken, |
| 1:21.4 | measuring two meters in length. |
| 1:24.2 | When any instance of 871 is consumed by a human or a collection of humans, it is replaced |
| 1:30.3 | approximately 24 hours afterwards, with a similar cake appearing on a flat surface in the vicinity |
| 1:36.8 | of the location where the previous instance was eaten. |
| 1:40.8 | If any of the cakes are substantially damaged through any means other than human consumption, |
| 1:46.0 | they will be replaced instantaneously. No negative effects have been observed to result from |
| 1:52.5 | the consumption of these cakes, even in cases where several instances are consumed, |
| 1:57.8 | accepting those expectable from eating large amounts of cake. |
| 2:02.9 | The danger of SCP-871 stems from the consequence of these cakes not being eaten. |
