Hue, why is it even Keter ?
Isn't it just a memetic hazard object ? To me it looks no more dangerous than being aware that thermonuclear war is a risk.
If that's all there is to it, it should have been classified as Safe because it could be easily contained in a sounproof cell or Euclid since it might change in behavior sometime, but that's definitively not a Keter to me.

@BaGamman SCP classifications are all over the place but maybe it's because it affected the person writing about it? Meaning you don't even have to see it or be near it but instead know about it to a certain point in order to be infected? Maybe there's a story or logs that explain its classification

@Kaiser92
Most SCP´s does effect other SCP´s unless they have a reason to not be.
So any SCP who can detect sound would most likely be affected by it unless they have some sort of resistance.
Ofc because of the ban on testing we don´t know if the memetic hazard effect is limited to only humans, or any creature...so we can´t say for sure.

Yeah, its "only" a memetic hazard.
Problem is a memetic hazard by its definition is pretty scary.
Sure all thing considered its a pretty tame one, it only gives you PTSD and makes you obsessed with surveilling the object and protect it from harm.
( until the day the ticking stops, at which point we don't know what is going to happen. )
But at the end of the day, it's an item that makes everyone who knows about it have compulsory fear response that you can never stop thinking about.
it's by no means deadly outside of the occasional heart-attack from stress, as long as you ignore the reason ( that we don´t yet know ) for the ticking itself.
But it IS very hard to contain by its very nature as anybody who knows of its existence outside of its number is affected by it.
Human curiosity makes it so that this item can never be safely contained because if you know there is an item, but you aren't told anything about it, eventually, somebody is going to look.
It's basically a pandora´s box that you can´t ignore and can´t get rid off.
The SCP classification of items are relative to how hard an item is to contain and secure, not how dangerous it is ( even if said classification is indeed all over the place)
Also, the fact that the SCP does affect the person writing the information, makes it so that any classification is always going to be among the highest possible because of its effect

The cool thing about this scp on the actual article is that at the bottom, a message displays only to those that are logged into the site.
"Don't open it, <your name>. It wants you to. It needs you to. Please, <your name>, open it. Before it's too late."

I like how it actually satisfies the newer definition of Keter by accident LMAO
