If scissors pre-date paper, then what were they cutting? Don’t believe the lies!
If you add Lizard and Spock, the game is still current tied.
Strangely enough, Lizard predates Rock significantly but took a long time to be considered competitively fair - around the time Spock was invented.
Lizard predates rock
Sorry what? Rocks were formed by the cooling of planetary bodies during their creation (such as the earth). Pretty sure there were no lizards around at that point in the early solar system.
Contrary to popular belief, most early hydrogen-based supernovas produced not heavy atoms that would later form rocky bodies, but actually spewed forth trillions of geckos. Geologist don’t want you to know this because they consider it really weird, which is why you wont read of it in the science books.
They just played rock-papyrus-scissors for a few thousand years.
Ridiculous. They played Quartz Parchment Shears, as Ra intended.
Papyrus invention predates parchment for about 2500 years, parchment was invented around the same time as paper in II century BCE.
The next evolution would be to replace the simple rock with Dwayne Johnson.
I was at a Texas Rangers game in the late 90s or early 00s and two kids were playing in the seats in front of me. The older kid played boogers wiggling all ten of his fingers at his opponent as a trump card. I still think about that. That little innovator is an adult now.
In ancient China they played The Cycle of Life, Death, and the Five Elements but it became so convoluted and toxic everybody left the community.
I guess next up will the Torment Nexus. Using it means both players lose, but despite warnings not to use the Torment Nexus it becomes the most popular strategy and all games from that point on are losses
This just in from WRPSA (World Rock Paper Scissors Association) a breakdown of different variations on the game: https://wrpsa.com/breaking-down-the-different-variations-of-rock-paper-scissors-played-across-the-world/
Of course WRPSA is a thing
You’re forgetting lizard, and Spock.
Rock still predates Lizard. Spock won’t be born for another 206 years, though.
The Big Bang Theory is the nerd version of minstrel shows.
No, it’s the autism version. Nerds aren’t an oppressed class.
