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.

A game about being bitten by snakes no matter what until roughly 10.000 years ago

Except paper

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

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

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

[-] letsgocrazy@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

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.

@emidio I choked on my saliva reading this.

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

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 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

Paper was invented in China by Cai Lun who died in 121 CE. It's definitely a lot older than 179 years ago.

[-] dabaldeagul@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

I assume with "-179" OP means 179 years BC, not 179 years ago

[-] Redjard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

I would argue that last time I checked we arent living in the year 1. In common usage -179 was 2023 - (-179) -1 = 2201 years ago
(the -1 is because there is no year 0)

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.
