SCP-871 is one of the weird ones in my opinion. Not in a what the heck way but in a "well that could be awful one day" way :D

It is a collection of 237 cakes that mutates to constantly gain mass. Apparently, you have to eat some of it regularly or it will grow so much that you won't be able to contain it. It could take over the earth within 80 days.

I am not sure if I would like to eat a cake that is part of a big mutating cake mass.

When it comes to odd (among all the oddness going on there in general) SCP-3999 immediately comes to mind, it's one of the more memorable entries in my opinion! And of course 2521 for the way it's delivered but I'm sure you know this one.

Funny in what sense? It's always been aiming for a serious / dry tone, and there are both more comedic and more spooky SCPs in every series really; I recall watching the video linked and apart of going into admin/writer drama it doesn't really explain why would it be better in the past and bad now, maybe apart of the fact that there are so many people willing to contribute nowadays it's I guess maybe easier to find stuff you wont like. Personally I don't see a huge difference jumping between series 1 and later ones though

Imagine the Purple Dot being an indicator of something spooky happening in the world or any other universe. Like a way for our forum to tell us something or warn us about something terrible. Like the Scarlet King gaining more power?

Or maybe something nice, like a Lagun being born in another galaxy.

Oh no, they are taking notes! SCATTER before they find our secrets!

I went to check the The Polish Branch of the Foundation and not gonna lie, I'm genuinely upset no one is working on a Lagun story. It's clearly an euclid; now secured, contained and protected (or consumed, we don't know)
