Comment on The second matchup of the tournament

This takes me back to “gorilla, man, gun,” which was basically the baptist youth camp version of rock, paper, scissors. (It probably exists outside of that context, that’s just where I always played it shrug)

How does that work? Gorilla kills man? Gun kills Gorilla? but what’s the man/gun outcome

He already mentioned it was a religious thing, so chances are slim that the game is grounded in anything approaching logic.
kraftpudding@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah, but there needs to be an answer, whether grounded in logic or not. Is it man uses gun? Is it gun kills man, and they don’t understand the game?

Gorilla kills man, because obvious Man wins against gun because it’s an inanimate object Gun shoots gorilla because it doesn’t understand what it is and accidentally shoots itself.

It’s gorilla beats man, man beats gun, gun beats gorilla, it didn’t even make sense to me when I was 8

oh please rock paper scissors is also not very logical. so what if paper wraps a rock what does that accomplish?

If you’re the kid that lived behind me in my childhood, you wrap the rocks in paper, light them on fire, then try to them at the BBQ pit in my backyard. If anything, the rock and paper combine into a more powerful weapon.
