* The identity of [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1447 SCP-1447-2]] is heavily obscured, but if you read carefully enough and have enough knowledge, you'll realize that he is [[spoiler: Creator/SteveJobs, who apparently went to Tibet in 1985 and created his own [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa Tulpa]], all the while another Steve Jobs replaced him in public.]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2090 SCP-2090]]: Professional basketball player [[spoiler: Tim Duncan]] is actually a god-like being and the sport of basketball is actually a ritual created by the Foundation to prevent him from accessing his powers too soon, done thanks to Foundation messages from the future. Even a throwaway line about "turning a hurricane on him" to get [[spoiler:Duncan]] into the sport is actually a reference to real-life as revealed in the comments: [[spoiler: Bluedanoob -- "Duncan started out as a swimmer and only began playing basketball in ninth grade after Hurricane Hugo destroyed the only Olympic-sized pool on his home of St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands." (the future messages have Duncan "The Devastator" appearing on the shore of California with "blood in the water")]]

* Zig-zagged with [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-1841-ex SCP-1841-EX]] - Franz Liszt, infamous for a rabid fanbase in a time where most musical composers didn't warrant a following that would put the screaming crowds of Beatles fans to shame, was thought to have some kind of memetic or magic effect that caused such hysteria in his fans. The Foundation eventually realised it was just mundane [[LoonyFan fan obsession]], but not until after they'd [[spoiler: assassinated almost every famously dead musician in the 20th century.]]

* [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/list-of-common-anomalous-misconceptions "List of Common Anomalous Misconceptions"]] is a tale set in the Vanguard timeline of SCP-6500, where the Veil falls at a later date than the Broken Masquerade. With that in mind, it sets up a lot of these as regular civilization struggles to get their records back in order:
** Gamers Against Weed participated in the War on Drugs.
** Louis XIV constantly bragged about being related to over 500 sun deities, SCP-179 included. This is, of course, a huge lie.
** The Satanic Panic being a Foundation psyop (the containment procedures for SCP-6237, a mass-produced demonology guide) is referenced again.
** The Industrial Revolution did not come naturally; [[ETGaveUsWiFi a group of mystics sacrificed a god of industry to provoke it]].
** Donald Trump's infamous hairdo is a Betelgeusian alien.
** The letter thorn had to be taken out of the English language because it caused migraines in native speakers.
** Creator/MarkZDanielewski has the ability to traverse narrative layers, and has done so in the past. It's noted, however, that ''Literature/HouseOfLeaves'' has nothing to do with this.
** The Illuminati's most popular depictions are a psyop by the Foundation and Creator/{{Disney}} working together.
** The moon landing was indeed fake, being a Foundation psyop to fight flat Earthers. However, so many people fell for it that [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve it became real]].
** The modern disdain of the portrayal of TimeTravel in ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' was likely intentional, as the series was filmed with orders from the Foundation to use incorrect information.
** Creator/{{Capcom}} beat Creator/{{Atari}} (or Arcadia, as the Foundationverse knows them by) to the punch in anomalous video gaming.
** SCP-169's species might have dug out the Marianas Trench and then teleported to become Olympus Mons, but given the ambiguous canon, that information could also be a psyop covering for the recovered document.
** UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison stole from himself in neighboring dimensions and timelines, not other workers.
** Suberted with the Large Hadron Collider; all conspiracies theories about it creating dimensional tears, etc. are patently false and are indeed mundane equipment failures.
