Hey there! I'm CityToast-- the author of this SCP. You did such an amazing job portraying this story. I love it so much.

[@sanicinapanic4264]

You did a great job

[@BeardOfDan]

This is a great SCP. Instead of trying some variant of Eldritch horror, or other spookum, it's (if not for smartphones and the internet) plausible. With the recent rise of mis/disinformation, and the attempts to censor it, it's probably worth sharing (outside of the SCP fandom) purely as a conversation piece.;

It's such a distressing thought that something happened but no one remembers it.

[@robertrosenthal7264]

There's a whole lot of that in the Foundation. Even the Foundation doesn't know how many times there have been "reboots of reality".

[@squidlipssupreme168]

Things in real life happen all the time and ot is swept away so fast people forget.

[@typhir5911]

There is no such thing as a true canon in the SCP universe as it is written by multiple writers, but given that SCP-2000 has been activated at least a couple of times and there are records of a scientist asking how many times do we need to relive the 20th and 21st century, could SCP-5135 have taken place in a previous version of these years instead of in an alternate reality? Given how highly classified SCP-2000 is, this is highly probable.

[@BadluckTribe]

My personal belief is scp 2000 is scp 1. All anomalies arrive from the restarts

[@typhir5911]

There are interdimensional and other anomalies that can't be explained by a reset like SCP-2399. Actually, this does cause a weird issue with SCP-2399 if it was set in the same canon. If we've been repeating the 20th and 21st century again and again because of constant world ending anomalies, then 2399 is repairing itself considerably slower than anyone in the SCP Foundation currently believes. Although the SCP Foundation has created a number of anomalies with resets though like SCP-3002, which was their attempt to have a global amnestic. There is also SCP-4011 which was created by supposedly a previous iteration of the Foundation on Mars that the current SCP Foundation has no idea what to do about. SCP-001 is a title that should never be claimed by any anomaly because it has developed its own mythos now and it is fantastic.

[@cyberprime9355]

"The war that never was" It is both a comfort, and an ominous warning. Perhaps the antimemetics had been in use since 2009, which is why we don't remember it? But regardless, it's still ominous

[@hounddogjakegaming]

So too

[@jboydayz]

That was what I was thinking too.

[@fadelsukoco3092]

I'm more interested in how the Foundation was able to cover up all of the damage caused in the war. Sure, antimemetics would help in suppressing public knowledge, but nuclear bombings and international invasions would be hard to cover up simply due to the fact that there would still be lingering fallout and spent/missing resources and people. That being said, the Foundation were able to rewrite history so that the Gulf of California always naturally existed after a Factory-corrupted incomplete Broken God rampaged through Mexico in SCP 001.

[@Piledriver2006]

Well, SCP-2000 has been used to reset the world ending before. Apparently, there were many more World Wars than two. This SCP could be the remnants of one of them. SCP-2000 was used when the world ended around 1976 and there's a number of remnants of that time, including SCP-2316 and SCP-4833. So it wouldn't be surprising if this really happened

[@ryansullivan7349]

My theory is it did happen in our timeline, leading to an extinction scenario, which lead to a history reset using scp2000. To avoid this situation arising again, two of the superpowers were written out of history.

[@benrussell-gough1201]

What is the name of that anomalous civilisation whose history keeps on being changed by a vampire book? They may have been one of the combatants.

[@pasdriey223]

@@benrussell-gough1201 no, i don't think so, that scp tells an chronicle of the civilisation know as daevites, and its not only one book, theres probally hundreds of them spread throughout the world, and they were extinct by some chinese empire, but, everytime it consumes blood, the daevites get to live a little longer, and some scp's are created by them, and every time they live a little longer, they create a new artifact that's anomalous.

[@raspiethesoviet]

If they were to do that, they'd have to rewrite all of reality from scratch, all of history, the world would be nothing like today. I think that the other two superpowers still exist (maybe it was Russia, or a superpower that still doesn't exist yet like an united Europe) but we don't know who they are because of the suppression of information.

[@ryansullivan7349]

@@raspiethesoviet sorry, when I used the Phrase "Written out of History" That's what I meant. When they use SCP 2000, they clone people, reconstruct the infrastructure, even move continents (see bottled message recovered from Mariana Trench). They then manufactured a new history of the world, usually just resetting to a previous point in the timeline, using amnestics. If the two superpowers they wanted to remove were, lets say, a united South America and United Africa (as examples), they could redraw maps and rewrite history so those superpowers never formed, instead replacing them with a number of smaller countries with histories that won't allow them to unite.

[@gsamalot]

That is a high likely chance it did happen, and also has to closest of sense. The fact SCP 2000 has done this more then once, the chances of this already happing is high. What ever the SCP is finding could be left over from the original scp forces who see it better to just keep this incident in history as it should be a faded memory that no one should ever know about at all.

I would assume that, with the 90+ megaton nuclear bomb being located in a heavily populated area, this really should be considered Euclid. Even if that's the only potentially dangerous part of the SCP, it's impossible to know if anything could detonate it and what that might be.

i would use scp 184 on the contaiment of that suspended tzar bomba.. and tlet it grow the contaiment building so large that it could encompase and soak all the damage of the bomb personally... even a tzar bomba cant explode en almost infinityl large space... but once detonated the building can later be demolished once the radiation goes down... just grow it big enough then send in some d-classes to disarm it... gg ez! Possibly you could use SCP | SCP-662 instead of D-classes.. (he would better be able to navigate the space too)

[@Nyghtking]

You know what I find the most interesting? i thought for a moment "There's no way even the foundation could cover it up, there would be evidence" and then I realized, there is. Everything under the classification of SCP 5135 would count as proof, and yet the foundation claims all it is is evidence of a war from another timeline, if they were going to hide something of that scale it would make sense to take all the evidence, classify it as an SCP, and claim it's simply an anomaly of a war from another timeline. As for other groups knowing, most don't want to show themselves and the rest the foundation has done a pretty good job of hiding, in addition the foundation has spies in each group of interest all over the world.

[@amyli7315]

But here's the problem: Why actually make a file about this "SCP" when you could just _not_ ? Just don't classify it! Keep it in some file and that's it! Even less suspicion about this _alternate dimesnion war_ .

[@Nyghtking]

@@amyli7315 Well since it's the foundation, everyone in the foundation is used to being surrounded by anomalies all the time, if they found intel that suggested the foundation had objects in it's possession that weren't listed in the files people would be curious, but give them an SCP designation, make a file on it, and claim it's from an alternate dimension and to the people working there it's just another anomaly and they won't question it since it's just business as usual for them.

[@yousaywhatnow2195]

@@randomgreek5682 idk about that, according to RealLifeLore’s video, a United Africa currently actually wouldn’t really be all that impressive, aside from being the fastest growing population in the world that is. There is a wealth of resources, but tapping them is difficult and a lot of them aren’t really wartime resources per se. There’s also the coordination issue because the massive diversity in ethnicities and languages could potentially make a United Africa sort of like a massive version of Austria-Hungary, though probably with Arabic, English and French (and maybe Portuguese) as a common lingua Franca (then again, Austria-Hungary also had a lingua franca or two, and it didn’t much help them).
