#2If you think that this would be right up SCP’s alley, you’d be wrong, it’s not included (yet). Here’s a Reddit discussion on the topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheBackrooms/comments/bs2zog/why_th....

#5I didn't know about the old meme, but the image made me immediately think of The Stanley Parable. Not surprising since TSP is probably a descendant of the meme.

Stanley Parable outdates Backrooms by like 8 years. But they’re all basically about liminal spaces.

Someone should convert an unused warehouse or shopping mall into a real-world backroom maze escape game.

Why do they say it's likely that the person who first posted the image on the message board got the image from the Internet Archive?

There should be more things in the world like Meow Wolf - this is an aspect of that in person exploration experience.
I wonder if anyone has a list of that kind of space.

I thought the same thing. If you look at the crawled page, it's only one of like 20 images that survived.
So either the crawl got lucky and saved the only relevant image, or there is survivor bias.
Then again, the actual crawl might be triggered precisely because the image was linked.
