 What to do when a member of the public finds an anomaly? Members of the SCP Foundation are likely aware that the general public are often arrogant, ignorant, and have little sense of self-preservation. Please watch this short educational film on how to deal with a member of the public who has discovered an anomaly. If you encounter a member of the public who has discovered an anomaly, you should convince them they are hallucinating. Try this phrase. Wow! I do not see anything. You may be experiencing an audiovisual hallucination. Have you been near any chemicals or recreational drugs lately? You may need a more carefully targeted message. For example, say a member of the public has encountered SCP-1000. In a capitalist nation, try this phrase. Haven't you heard that Bigfoot and by extension any hairy anomalous creature is a communist lie? In a communist nation, try this phrase. Haven't you heard that Bigfoot and by extension any hairy anomalous creature is a bourgeois lie? These phrases will deter most members of the public and they will continue as normal. If the member of the public continues to pay attention to the anomaly, you may need to apply amnestic drugs. If you must apply amnestics, do it quickly as long-term exposure to a member of the public has been linked to reduced IQ and problem-solving ability. Thank you for watching. You are now prepared to interact with a member of the public. Secure. Contain. Protect.
