Climate change.

The poop's been there for decades. But it used to be frozen solid. If it's starting to smell, I can only surmise it's because it's melting.

That raises questions about how the corpses are faring with the warming.

Oh, I think we're about to discover they're very much alive and teeming with activity, just not the kind we expect from pre-mortem mountaineers.

Off the top of my head, I can imagine a dozen or so industrial uses for scp-5140. The creepy pasta is sometimes in how society might respond to SCPs.

It's honestly surprising me how many Canadians are here. And if you're not, well, not many Americans can name British Columbia off of BC.

I'm actually from Denmark where we DO learn about the existence of other countries in school. Also, I personally have a curious mind in general 😁

And if you're surprised by how many Canadians are here, you should see how German the All feed gets at times. It's like Europe in the 40s except much less fascist 😄
