SCP-055 is the unknowable anti-meme. It is an object that is contained in the SCP-Foundation Mythos.

In order to understand the nature of SCP-055, you must first understand the concept of an anti-meme. Where as a meme tries to proliferate knowledge of its an existence and nature, anti-memes try to keep information of its own existence and nature. Anti-memes are real, think about your password to this site or your browser history, you don't want everyone to know about that stuff, right? Anomalous anti-memes like SCP-055 are a hold other beast, as its anomalous property censors all information about itself and erases all memories anyone may have about itself. People will forget what they saw as soon as they stop looking at it along with a lot of stuff afterwards. Photographs will either be blank or otherwise missing SCP-055. Attempts to write downs what you saw as you are looking at it will cause the descriptions to be written in an indecipherable language.

Generally speaking SCP-055 can only be described by what it is not.
