Image on left is from 4 days ago, but the pimple was slowly forming over around 2 weeks.

The goop was sticky, not oily. Earphones are Panasonic RP-TCM130.

I was not able to find an explanation.
Something to increase cable lifespan, lubrication, rubber disintegrating, sweat and earwax that somehow got into the cable, dielectric grease, SCP-1407, no clear answer.

At first I thought the wires just somehow twisted. Nope.

If you put the yolk into a cup of soil, you should have baby headphones within 2-3 weeks.

You gotta be careful with baby headphones. If it's a boy, he'll keep the cord. If it's a girl, she'll loose her cord, and her teeth will turn blue.

In some states, you're legally required to.

Makes me think of that shitty grippy rubber material on cheap mice that becomes gooey with time. I would treat those as euclid until further testing

Euclid??? The greek mathematician?

[-] [email protected] 65 points 1 week ago

Euclid-class SCPs are anomalies that require more resources to contain completely or where containment isn't always reliable. Usually this is because the SCP is insufficiently understood or inherently unpredictable. Euclid is the Object Class with the greatest scope, and it's usually a safe bet that an SCP will be this class if it doesn't easily fall into any of the other standard Object Classes.

.......what is an SCP?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 1 week ago

Secure Contain Protect

SCP is a collaborative wiki fiction edited and written by lots of people for years now. It started as kind of a novelty, a fake wiki of heavily redacted files relating to an organization's attempts to contain cryptids and various weird things. Its evolved over time and has numerous narrative arcs etc now.

SCP-3008 The Perfectly Normal IKEA, and SCP-3333 about a spacial anomaly on a fire tower are my 2 favorites, but I haven’t delved all that deeply either.

Happened to my mate, it sucks a lot tbf

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago

Some sort of chemical reaction. My best guess would be a drop of CA glue that degraded the material over time.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

I feel like you maybe should replace those...

Sir, you are to remain in your present location until MFT Psi-8 makes contact. Any and all resistance will be met with force!

I am so intruiged by the fact that the mass of good accumulated at the one spot. The mystery of what pressures were at play for it to flow to that one spot.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Flux would be my guess

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Extra warm conditions?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nope.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
