Absolute Johannes factotum
- SCP-9559 (?)
- SCP-9559 is a large, ancient underground vault complex beneath Site-01, built in the late 16th century by thirteen powerful families, known as the Thirteen Dynasties. It contains thirteen chambers, each holding various mysterious artifacts that are believed to possess anomalous properties, though modern scientific tests often fail to detect them. The vault is contained through strict, elaborate rituals, including lighting torches, using special keys, and performing ancestral blood offerings, all of which must be carried out exclusively by descendants of the original thirteen families. The Foundation's leadership insists these rituals are crucial to prevent unknown dangers, regardless of whether modern instruments register any activity from the artifacts.
- Toilets in Japan (?)
- The article "Toilets in Japan" describes the unique and often advanced nature of Japanese toilets, which range from traditional squat toilets to highly sophisticated "washlets." While squat toilets are still found in some public places, modern Japanese homes predominantly feature Western-style toilets, with over 81% equipped with electronic bidets known as washlets. These washlets offer a variety of advanced features, including posterior and feminine washing with adjustable water temperature and pressure, heated seats, deodorizers, automatic lid opening, and even sound effects (like the "Sound Princess") to mask bodily noises for privacy. Beyond functionality, Japanese toilets also incorporate cultural aspects, such as separate toilet slippers to maintain hygiene between "clean" and "unclean" areas of a home, and increasingly include self-cleaning mechanisms and even integrated medical sensors for health monitoring.
