"Kušum" is Sumerian for "to abandon."
Also, the Sanskrit word "Jalakara" means weaver, and the Witch-Queen of Bogal Mountain's name refers to the greek goddess Hecate.

Nice touch.
Though….I hate SCPs set in the future on principle. Feels like a cop-out almost.
This one….is very endearing, actually.
On a more thorough reading, I love this SCP. I am very annoyed at all the world ending SCPs out there, so this one, the idea of something that will save Earth in such an event, but isn't yet present….I love it!
Fun fact: "Clusterfuckocalypse" makes this only the fifth surviving mainlist skip to have the word "Fuck" in the title.
One thing, though:
After SCP-001's flooding of the Arctic Circle on 7/18/2560, SCP-3319 has caused no discernable of approaching flood waters
Think you're missing a word there.
If anyone is wondering, the others are Fuckworms, The Town That Got Fucked By Bears, This Fucking Guy Did All The Murders, All Those Fucking Ideas, and "It's just fucking golf!"
Okay. I have to ask.
In addition, two black crescent moon symbols have painted on the side of SCP-3319, over an inscription reading "YOU ARE WATCHED • YOU ARE PROTECTED • YOU ARE LOVED".
Do you mean 'symbols are painted'? Or 'symbols have been painted'? If not, what have these symbols painted over the inscription?
Since reading, I oscillate between 'Naaah, just a silly typo' and 'BUT WHAT IF IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE STORY?????? HUH???? HUH????'
Please help!!!!!
I don't dislike this, but I don't like it much either, I must say. It's a little of too much (= e.g., too many iterations IMO, that end up confusing the reader as to what is really going on) and a little of too little (sorry) (= e.g., if people disappear within 500 m of the thing, wouldn't the Foundation try to find out more about where and how? This whole description doesn't really feel like the, um, scientifically stubborn Foundation!).
But it might just be me…!
ETA shit, forgot! Also, you keep referring to an SCP-001. Which one? Existing? Still on the drawing board? ;> => the whole story and world-building feel incomplete.
I'll just go ahead and say that the SCP-001 in question is, insofar as we know, exclusive to that iteration of Earth. If it's in our universe, it hasn't yet been documented.
Oh. It WAS 'have been painted', then.
001: not clear.
Postmortem-Vector-44 "Corbenic".
+1 all the way!
I think this, like TL333s said, uses little bits of other skips but does it in a way that is not too obvious.
I'll have to read it again because I think I’m missing somthing…
E: i get it..
That was a riveting read, even without having read most of the Corbenic skips. The chain of apocalypses occurring and the weirdness that goes along with it is just a lot of fun.

"YOU ARE WATCHED • YOU ARE PROTECTED • YOU ARE LOVED".
At some point, someone saw this, and it inspired the idea that Santa lives here.
I swear there is another SCP that says that, but I don't know which one…
If I recall, it's on SCP-3922 which is the censorship software with a bunch of dudes in Gas Masks and tactical armor that appear in media and take out criminals.
