This is the discussion related to the wiki page SCP-677.
"Various heights, ranging from two centimeters upwards, have been recorded, and the maximum speed, judging from its current position, is unknown."
I suggest replacing that segment with:
"Various heights, ranging from two centimeters upwards, have been recorded, and the highest obtained speed to date, based on calculations of SCP-677's current trajectory, is █████. Maximum obtainable speed is unknown."
<3 this thing. Love how the article starts right off with 'item is currently somewhere near SATURN.'
It feels like the entry would be better if the last line of Event 684-0034X were removed, leaving the fate of Personnel 2/677 more 'up in the air,' as it were.
That would make the striking of the warning about recreational use and replacing it with an 'I told you so.' more pertinent to 677's current location.
"Guess 2/677 broke the record after all, he will be missed.
Or the restraints actually were successful - and Personnel 2/677 is in fact still firmly attached to the SCP, about a billion miles from here…
More like he will be pink mist, after being accelerated to escape velocity from the lower atmosphere 😂
What I would like to know is that will be left of the site and the surrounding area once the SCP, which in this context pretty much amounts to an indestructible object accelerating towards Earth from outer Solar System, has eventually impacted… Thinking of this seriously creeps me out and it's a pity the author doesn't seem to have thought of this particular problem.
Even so, this thing is awesome and definitely worth an upvote.
Nah. Under real circumstances, the force UP is more then the return force because you have to factor in wind resistance, so the initial jump would have more resemblance to a bomb going off - and a takeoff at multiple times the speed of sound would shred the jumper.
I imagine standard physics has done what it always done with SCPs - and taken a vacation.
Well done, Pineapple! Worrying about conservation of momentum and energy upon touch-down but ignoring them at all other stages… Me smrt and stuff, or my suspension of disbelief works in rather unpredictable ways.
Seriously though, you are right on both counts. One, given the way a pogo stick works if the take-off caused no significant damage, neither should the touch-down. Two, it's probably best not to think too hard about laws of physics here :-)
…huh. Okay, I'd call this straightforward Safe, except that it's explicitly uncontained and somewhere deep in interplanetary space due to its anomalous property. So… do we change the class to just Safe, or to Uncontained, or what?

I'd call it at Neutralized.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
It hasn't been Neutralized, though.
I'd actually just read Drew's description and not the article, so I assumed "in space because of its property" meant "we lost it in space guys"
now that I actually went back and reread, I'd call it at Euclid.
Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
Actually this is one where I don't even mind the split object class, but Euclid or Safe would be fine, honestly. Euclid based on the possibility it could be spotted [and our inability to prevent that], Safe based on the vanishingly small likelihood that it would be, given how much crap we have floating in our orbit.
But "Uncontained" isn't an object class, it's a status description.
Derp. Yeah, you're right, uncontained isn't a class. What can I say, I'm tired. :-P
So then, Safe?
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
I'd actually say get the consensus of a few other staff members in this case (given Roget's opinion above), but either way, I can buy either classification.
Although if you could buy either classification, there's also an argument to be made for just picking Euclid as the higher classification XD
I say safe.

Safe.
