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.
Now do Snakes and Ladders
Need to add the nuke in 1945AD. Strong nuke advantage
F tier, unused in meta since launch.
I want to make a joke about Oppenheimer but I haven't seen the new Barbie movie

Good ol' rock.
Nothing beats rock!
Except paper
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.
We should start playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, Blaartuu, in anticipation of the invention of Blaartuu.
What did they cover their rocks with before paper?
Leaf
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?
Memes are for swallowers!
Pretty sure paper was invented a bit earlier?
You may be thinking of other media for writing like papyrus or animal hides
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.
I assume with "-179" OP means 179 years BC, not 179 years 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.
