Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-579-J (?)
- SCP-579-J is an extremely dangerous object, classified as Keter, that requires incredibly elaborate and costly containment procedures, including a dedicated facility with specialized materials and constant monitoring. However, the article humorously reveals that all crucial information about SCP-579-J, such as its actual description, origin, test results, and even details of its containment, is locked behind various "DLC" or "Telekill" payments, making it impossible to understand what the anomaly truly is or what it does. The joke is that the Foundation cannot access critical data about this highly threatening object without making these absurd "purchases," leaving its true nature a mystery.
- Mongrel complex (?)
- The "Mongrel complex," or "mutt complex," is a Brazilian expression referring to a feeling of collective inferiority when Brazilians compare their culture and nation to other parts of the world. Coined by writer Nelson Rodrigues, it initially described the national trauma after Brazil's loss in the 1950 World Cup, but Rodrigues expanded it to encompass a broader sense of self-deprecation and lack of self-esteem among Brazilians. The concept has roots in 19th-century ideas about Brazilian "inferiority," with some attributing it to miscegenation or tropical climate, though these views have been challenged by critics who argue for a more nuanced understanding of Brazilian culture.
