War and Peas 🧿

Before the invention of paper and scissors

This is a single-panel cartoon by War and Peas. The image depicts two cavemen sitting across from each other with a pile of rocks between them. They are both seated on rocks, facing one another. One caveman has long hair and a beard, while the other has a slightly more rugged appearance. The caption below the image reads, "Let's settle this with a game of Rock Rock Rock."

@JonnyT @warandpeas It was apparently invented in (and during) the Han dynasty (~206 BCE to 220 CE), before which was the short-lived tyranny of the Qin dynasty that came after the Warring States Period.

So, no, I don’t think it was a more peaceful time before the invention of rock-paper-scissors.
