If scissors pre-date paper, then what were they cutting? Don’t believe the lies!
Cloth?
WHAT?
#CLOTH
I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME. I WAS CHECKING TO SEE IF YOU HAD THE AUDACITY TO REPEAT IT!
CLLOOOOTTTH. THEY SAID CLOTH
Listen here you little shit.
You’re forgetting lizard, and Spock.
Rock still predates Lizard. Spock won’t be born for another 206 years, though.
I’ve always thought the hand signs would be difficult, but the best combination should be fire, water, sponge. Sponge soaks up water, water puts out fire, fire burns sponge to a crisp.
What piece of paper can really stop a rock?
Sponge is flat hand, like paper is currently. Fire is palm up, all fingers pointing up, wiggling, water is palm down, all fingers pointing down, wiggling. And you’re right, that’s an awesome variant.
The Big Bang Theory is the nerd version of minstrel shows.
No, it’s the autism version. Nerds aren’t an oppressed class.
If you add Lizard and Spock, the game is still current tied.
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.
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 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.
then where does the invention of the well place within all this?
