Timeline reading "All ties" from the far left until "Invention of scissors, -3000". Then it's reading "Rock advantage" until a second marker called "Invention of paper, -179". The final description from there to the far right reads "Balanced".

For a more exiting game of rock/paper/scissors, play for 5 points, each win 1 point, except if you win with rock, thats give you 2 points.

That actually sounds fun! I first thought it's a joke but it sounds like meta strategy.

Actually it's just strategy but meta makes it sound cooler so meta strategy it is.

For obvious reasons, the scissors weren't added until the discovery of metal in the Iron Age.

Except paper

[-] kamen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Imagine it being called "Rock paper scissors" before the latter two having been invented.

We should start playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Blaartuu, in anticipation of the invention of Blaartuu.

What did they cover their rocks with before paper?

[-] chetradley@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

A rock would kick paper's ass, I don't care what they say.

Sorry, shall I make another meme for you to spit it out?

Memes are for swallowers!

Lizard is between rock and scissors. Spock is born 127 years in je future in the 129th anniversary of the January 6th Capitol Riot coup attempt.

Pretty sure paper was invented a bit earlier?

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 year ago

You may be thinking of other media for writing like papyrus or animal hides

[-] emidio 5 points 1 year ago

Indeed the mainstream media before was papyrus which is a bit different than paper. There was also an interesting thing where they cut bamboos to make some planks which where stringed together. They would write on the inside of the planks
