Can Rock, Paper, Scissors Be Reinvented with New Rules?
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a game where participants respond with objects that "beat" the previous object in a creative and logical manner, following specific rules. The game emphasizes imagination and requires players to respond in the format "Y [verb]'s X," where Y is the new object and X is the previous one. Key rules include no time travel, no people or actions, no fictional objects, no repeats, and a ban on hammers. Participants engage in a back-and-forth exchange, attempting to outdo each other with increasingly elaborate and humorous responses. The conversation often veers into absurdity, with players debating the validity of their responses and the interpretations of the rules. There are moments of confusion and clarification regarding what constitutes a valid response, particularly concerning the timeline of events and the nature of the objects used. The thread showcases a blend of creativity, humor, and playful competition, highlighting the challenges of maintaining the game's structure while allowing for imaginative contributions.
