As a 51yo redneck man with a Monster/Diet Coke addiction and bladder issues, I must concur with the original statement. Basically, it really sucks having to pee every 10 to 15 minutes, having almost no warning from your bladder, and when your bladder does warn you, the sense of urgency is tremendous.

[@JonTheGamerGuru]

This SCP just feels like a fall out quest

[@nariknova7433]

Dr. Mobius from old world blues is basically this, a good guy brain in a jar, but he's the villain of the story because he has a slight drug addiction that makes him try and conquer the wastes while under the influence. Once you separate him from his drugs he's fine, just absent minded.

[@SteekSty]

i guess the foundation raided the BigMT

[@jeffumbach]

@@nariknova7433 that was a ruse as explained when you meet him, he made the rest of the Think Tank terrified of them so that they wouldn't try to leave Big MT and trash the world with their unethical experiments. It's hinted at right at the start "always the same transmission" that he has them in a mental loop of sorts.

[@SutasSjet]

Mobius is a bit of a connoisseur of chems in OWB. He goes a little whacky with certain ones. Still a good guy though. He keeps the Think Tank in a loop so they don't try to leave the crater and become super genius villains. They have zero value for human life beyond test subjects so it wouldn't be good to have them free.

[@FroJSimpson]

“713 different laser guns (in a bin labeled, “713 Different Laser Guns”).” Okay, that got a big laugh out of me. I love the quirkiness of human-based SCPs.

[@vynalldash_og]

"Too much Jurassic Park, not enough talking to girls..." Why is the brain in a jar the most relatable SCP I've seen yet-

[@Glassandcandy]

Because you yourself are just a brain in a fleshy jar People forget that the brain isn’t a part of them- it IS them. Everything that makes you consciously you is in the brain. You can replace your legs, your arms, get a new eye, even a new heart, but you can’t replace the brain because that’s precisely what you yourself are.

[@daniell1483]

I love SCPs that are weird, but not necessarily destructive. No cosmic threats, no ancient god that wants to eat humanity, just a really smart guy who has had his brain removed and makes anomalous gear. Perfect! I especially liked how the entire set up was plugged into a power strip that was plugged into itself!

@@AshBreather no.

[@DeadBaron]

Two things of note: 1) Doctor V appears to have notes and technology that allows him to dimension hop. This would explain why he apparently was able to launch rockets and build robot dinosaurs that got the HOA's attention, but since the SCP foundation didn't administer amnestics and didn't have any records of this, he likely did this in another dimension. 2) It sounds like some of his clones from his "cloning phase" survived and one was running that plant in Mexico, while two made it to London lol Also: Rockets that land on skids, childish robots, brains in jars... is this an adult Jimmy Neutron? 🤣

[@GhostChild191]

In the last recovery mission, they find notes signed with "EM." Then in the next paragraph, the brain says "I'm not Exactly Myself, anymore." What if "EM" stands for "Exactly Myself?" As in "The Original Professor V?"

[@Neutral_Tired]

​@@GhostChild191I think EM is probably Doctor Everett Mann, who wrote the article

[@nariknova7433]

"I am Jack's lack of OSHA compliance" has to be the funniest thing I've heard all week, I needed that.

[@bugjams]

For me it's "Snails will not undergo cold fusion, despite best efforts. Possibly weaponized?" Sounds like something out of Hitchhiker's Guide, same style of humor.

[@mangalink25]

I like how this one is a pretty nice guy. When you think of a mad scientist who is a brain in a jar you'd normally think they're a villain.

[@moonlight_scribe]

Love that the brain in a jar clearly still cared about its human connections with its long time customers and compatriots. Brain in a jar was a surprisingly compelling character.

[@Ravus_Sapiens]

No, he's thinking outside the jar; the box is where he keeps the ray guns... Honestly, this is simultaneously hilarious and infuriating. Hilarious because this is cartoon logic that Rodger Rabbit would be proud of; Infuriating because, as a physicist, this is exactly the kind of technobabble that I know people who talk about ("it's all about the quantum thing, or was it the imaginary numbers?"). I actually studied with a guy who believed infinite clean energy could be drawn from the aether...

[@99sonicrocks]

It's good to see an SCP that's just a regular guy for the most part. Some potential for tales with him helping the Foundation if they allowed it.

[@CodeguruX]

He's kinda scatterbrained. But that doesn't mean he's not allowing their continued existence in all realities just for company. Clearly a jovial SCP, but so far beyond the SCP's control to "allow" him to do or not do anything. The best way to fool anyone is to act with a nice and pleasant but quirky demeanor. Not many people look in any other direction but towards you when you're innocently entertaining enough and assumed to be of no consequence or threat. As for them finding a way to disrupt his life support... wouldn't you want people to think there's a surefire way to impede or kill you when it actually doesn't bother you in the slightest? I mean, to put things in perspective: "He's a brain in a jar, when he wants to be."

[@ianszabo2079]

Honestly he’s how I imagine half the 005’s

[@ozymandiasramesses1773]

This is exactly the moment when my brain became a brain in a jar.

[@Hotshot2k4]

Everybody in the comments talking about him being an inventor, when it's clear that logically, nothing he's invented should work. So what I got out of this is that he's neurodivergent and obsessed with the idea of being an inventor, while anomalously having the power to manifest whatever he sets his mind on inventing. It's a charming story and he seems like a swell guy, but he could easily be a threat if his powers really are unrestricted and he realized it.

[@ErisApplebottom]

Well seeing as he wasnt able to get snails to undergo cold fusion, maybe hes more like an orc where he has to believe that it works in order for it to work.

[@tobiasnexusfurry]

"How did it happen?" "You know, I'm not entirely sure anymore" I think Team Four Star got some inspiration for their Dr. Gero gag of not remembering how he made himself a cyborg from that

[@widdershins3785]

Immediate favorite entry! Kind of quite love the notion that while maybe his memory is failing him, he might just as equally be partially lying about what he does and doesn't remember. I'm pretty sure once you've lived past a century or so you learn to not self-incriminate. I get the feeling also, he's been alone in a basement like this for so long with only robots and the internet (and now those have been taken away) he's just dreadfully lonely enough to cooperate with the Foundation enough to have his mechalimbs and toys returned to him. He's so totally providing so much to Dr Wondertainment.

[@SadLizardPerson]

I am now a fan of Doctor V, he seems really cool. The fucking plug pluged into itself powering a shit tonn of things is genuinely so funny.

[@SiennaBlossom420]

perhaps i'm the only one who got this feeling, but it definitely feels like the good doctor may well still be in business, selling his creations just under the foundation's nose. Not to say thats definitely the case, but his vague answers, generally casual attitude towards the foundation, and the brush with the Professor V factories do hint at such a possibility. Certainly if I was a foundation scientist I wouldn't trust anything 2099 said, at least not at face value.

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

This is one that can really make you think 🤔 it seems simple but what if there is something more going on here? I mean this is obviously a very creative person who has casually managed to create so much on their own. All these notes describing all manner of things that, when asked about them, he always has a simple casual answer. Strange how he can’t remember some things, but I guess that’s why he has so many notes. With the mention of clones I do wonder if this is the real scientist. I mean why would you limit your from being able to move if something went wrong? What if this brain is a copy that’s basically a “think tank”? This would give a level of freedom to keep the business going

[@jwalster9412]

I think he simply got carried away, maybe he was tired dog having to move room to room to look through his notes. So he built these rooms, machines, and a jar to store his brain so he could live eternally without hiccup. Either that or he got very sick and this was a last resort, but he can't remember that/take notes. Also, it seems like there are a few unintentional side effects of his inventions. Maybe a few of his clones got out to different countries, maybe alternative universe versions got into that universe, it seems like there's more of him than he thought. Maybe some one or something has alot of his inventions or some of his notes and is copying his business.

[@zeliardforty-two4692]

@@jwalster9412 also some good theories!

[@RequiemPoete]

That was my theory. He's a cloned brain and the gaps in memory are because of deliberately not downloading them or glitches with the brain or memory transfer process.

[@1000niggawatt]

It's a reality bender that imagined he's a cartoon scientist.

[@bugjams]

I was thinking he sounds like a reality bender. Possibly a child who never really grew up? He talks about doodling in school, but also says he owned a house and talks about the HOA, which is something a child wouldn't have to worry about. Maybe both. Maybe he was a child reality bender, but due to his "inventions" all becoming real, he just believed he was really smart, and that physics just worked however he believed. So he grew up, became an adult, but never stopped making whacky inventions because, to him, there was nothing whacky or abnormal about them. People wanted them, after all. A reality-bender child who grew up never realizing they were even a reality bender at all, believing everything they did was normal and within the realms of baseline physics. Now he's a brain in a jar.
