The Easy Unmake Oven

Summary:

An anomalous oven that 'unmakes' whatever is placed into it into base parts, depending on how long it's left on.

So here's the idea for this SCP

Basically it's an oven that unmakes whatever is put into it. For example, a prepped chicken, left in the oven long enough, will eventually be 'unmade' into a live chicken, along with separated piles of any spices or seasonings used, with some even reverting to their pre-processed forms (pepper into peppercorns, etc.)

I'm still debating on contents of further testing, but I'm also wondering if there's anything I can do to take it beyond the idea of "A thing that does a thing. " Maybe a level of sapience, or anomalous properties of the unmade ingredients.

What are your thoughts?

What if you put a human body part in it?

Probably turns back to carbon and water. A wild guess. Or you can do [DATA EXPUGED] to make ppl wonder

Ah, excellent question! I was considering a testing log exploring this option, in various forms. [DATA EXPUNGED] could make for some interesting ideas, as would a simple reversion to base compounds. I'll keep those ideas in mind!

I would be glad to see some cross-testing with other SCPs. That sounds very interesting.

P.S. A very, very wild thought - putting a pregnant woman in there, to make "Painless abortion"? Maybe?

What happens if you put something inside the oven and don't take it out?

Hmm, good point. I suppose you can only go so far before you hit the molecular level. Perhaps I'll incorporate some sort of timer to prevent regression from going too far. But the idea that something could happen if it was left on is very intriguing! Especially if in-universe, a researcher realizes they quite literally left the oven on, and becomes worried about what that could do. Thanks for that!

This sounds like a really interesting SCP. Looking forward to when it gets released.

Thank you! Glad to see the idea is intriguing to more people than myself

Saitama HD, MomGetTheMayo, LovecraftianCrusader, and McDoggo, all of this feedback has been low-effort, vague, and unhelpful. As stated in the Critique Forum Guidelines:

Staff prioritize threads with no replies. If someone leaves a relatively generic comment, that lowers a thread's visibility and makes it less likely that a staff member will leave a review. If you're not inclined to write a thorough review (i.e., covering concept, execution, a few examples of specific fixes, and so on), please hold off on making the first post so a more experienced reviewer can address the thread first.

While asking questions about an idea are a great way to brainstorm, all of you have failed to address the idea itself in any way, which deprived this user of valuable criticism.

Additonally, LovecraftianCrusader, while few topics are too taboo for a horror wiki, all sensitive topics need to be handled in a mature and respectful way. The suggestion that this SCP should be used to terminate pregnancies is one made in incredibly poor taste. Do not continue to make suggestions like this in the future.

Researcher Morrison, given the degree to which this thread has been derailed, you have official staff permission (granted by Uncle Nicolini) to make a fresh thread for this exact same idea, should you wish.
