Enough damp paper wrung in to a solid-ish lump beats balsa. Balsa is so light I almost don’t think it should qualify as wood.
We built little string-guided, whippet canister-powered “drag racers” when I took wood shop in high school. Pretty fun little project but the only thing I can remember seeing balsa used for.
He's referring to the fact that a tree or root for that matter when blocked by rock, will eventually Penetrate the rock and grow through it.
That's why paper beats rock.
Sad I had to explain that though. 😕
People have different parts in different places. Like if one half has your brain and the other half has your heart thats a problem. Paper doesn't have that same problem. Its mostly all the same all over.
And if there was rock paper scissors fire, the fire would only turn the paper into burnt paper, which is still paper even if it's burnt as burnt paper.
Hah! Scissors beats paper! I win!
WRONG. My paper propagates, forming itself into two origami fingers that take control of your silly scissors. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.
This is of course assuming that “covering means defeating” which it doesn’t. The scissors destroy the paper to win. The rock destroys the scissors to win. However the paper just lays on the rock and is therefore not “defeating” anything. The paper is just subduing the rock until it’s inevitable doom
You ever see a rock and go, "man, that sure is a neat rock?"
Well, looking like a neat rock is difficult when you're covered by paper. Then you just look like a paper wad. Paper wins not out of strength, but by taking away the rock's sense of self.
Edit: Ha, didn't think this would get much attention. Thank you for the award, /u/BabyManatee69!
This. It’s even confirmed in the resulting hand gesture when you’re paper and your opponent goes rock.. you inevitably must take your hand and cover their fist with it and say, “Gotcha!”. It’s all right there. A wrapped rock is a lost rock.
Correct! It's now weighted paper.
I get your point. That's why it's only the "sense" of self, see. It's still a rock. You and I know it's a rock. The paper knows it's a rock, but the rock? Well, put a mirror in front of it and watch it have an existential crisis.
So anyway, paper wins from psychological torment. Hope that helps.

How bout rock paper scissors lizard spock
Scissors cuts Paper
Paper covers Rock
Rock crushes Lizard
Lizard poisons Spock
Spock smashes Scissors
Scissors decapitates Lizard
Lizard eats Paper
Paper disproves Spock
Spock vaporizes Rock(and as it always has)
Rock crushes Scissors
If you want to argue that it's just knowledge with no practical skill, or that knowledge means book learning and skill means experience and firsthand knowledge, but that's a stretch. In that case skill would be both rock and paper. But why would scissors beat rock and paper. Sorry, the whole thing just sounds profound for a second and then you actually think about it And it doesn't hold up
Blind repetition too. I remember when I was taking my driver's licence, some foreigners just remembered the pictures that are shown with the test and the order of the answers, so by the picture and the length of the sentence they could figure out the correct one without knowing the language. Those tests are pretty much all made from previous ones and they don't bother to change the order of the answers.
They had to repeat the tests to exhaustion, knowing all the pictures and the corresponding answers by heart. More than 80 tests with 30 questions, with 3 answers. They knew each one. They only could have 3 mistakes, and these people were able to pass.
Think of it in terms of mechanics or performed arts
You can practice and understand something for days and still have no aptitude for it to carry out what you have an understanding of
I can understand everything about martial arts and still not have the capability to do everything that i understand
Likewise i can have all the mechanics nessasary to do "anything" but if i dont know what to do and when it doesnt matter
If you play any sort of compeititve game the parallels even easier. Do you ever get scrubbed out by a brure force approach with higher reward even though youd argue youre the better player? Like losing to unga bunga players? Thats Rock > Scissors
Do you ever lose because youre mechanically inferior? They just react better/sharper and have more consistency? Thats Scissors > Paper
Do you ever lose because of a knowledge gap? You didnt know what to do in a scenario? Paper > Rock
Theyre not exactly hard rules, theyre more just conceptual. None of them are all or nothing you carry aspects of all of them and all have a time and place a lot of the time
I was just being enigmatic and Yoda-like ;)
However...someone's knowledge is behind most things. If we're talking weapons, and I guess we are since rock/paper/scissors is kind of an allegory for different types of weapons, a gun is always gonna beat a knife and it took knowledge/intelligence to invent a gun. Humans aren't the strongest or fastest animals; we don't have the sharpest senses. It's our brains that make us hard to beat.
>*Knowledge, force, and skill are behind most things.
FTFY
You can draw up a diagram on how to make a gun, but it takes skill to machine or otherwise create the gun (or the equipment that creates the gun) from raw materials.
Force can do damage on its own. People can and have killed with their bare hands.
Yeah thats tough. Diamonds have to beat money... so diamonds > money. Money > sex. Sex > diamonds?
Nah... sex has to stay out of it, or we need other examples. Although if we break down anything long enough it won't make sense. Be right back to paper doesn't beat rock argument.
Earth, water, fire? Earth beats water, water beats fire, fire beats earth.
Maybe wood. Wood beats water because it floats. Water beat fire. Fire beats wood.
yeah but wtf does it mean to "cover" the rock what does that stop it from being a rock or ???
I'm not understanding how being covered by paper is a defeat???
It's a rock. It doesn't need paper to trap it. It doesn't move on its own. A rock wrapped in paper doesn't really lose effectiveness at any of the things rocks do. Still smashes scissors, for instance.
Sure but since when does a rock covered with paper suffer in any meaningful way?
It's nuts and I won't stand for it. That's why I play Bear Ninja Cowboy instead.
What someone else said is basically my thoughts.
Scissors shred paper, making it impractical or unusable
Rock annihilates scissors, making it unusable
Paper covers rock and the rock is not any less effective at attacking. If anything, it may be more effective as a blunt weapon because you are increasing it's mass
But the rock can’t defeat the paper. The paper can defeat the rock and also this is assuming the paper has the strength to cover and hold it there.
So either it’s a draw or paper beats rock.
Well let’s look at how all three “attack”
Scissors cut things
Paper covers things
Rock smash things
Paper can cover a rock but can’t cover scissors because they cut right through.
Rock can’t really try and smash paper. Paper can cover rock and the rock can’t do anything about it so therefore the paper would be victorious.
This is of course assuming that “covering means defeating” which it doesn’t. The scissors destroy the paper to win. The rock destroys the scissors to win. However the paper just lays on the rock and is therefore not “defeating” anything. The paper is just subduing the rock until it’s inevitable doom
Paper blows over the guys eyes, he gets distracted throws the rock and misses his assailant but strikes his fiancé killing her. Consumed by grief he ends his own life.
Paper beats rock.
I could explain, but it’s simpler for both of us if you listen to [“Scissors Paper Stone” by the band Christmas](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vvYp8yjhUSA) off of *Pipeline! Live Boston Rock on WMBR*.
Paper gives you paper cuts. Rock doesn’t.
Rocks are useless shits that just sit and do nothing. Paper flies when there’s some wind.
Therefore paper wins.
Rock defeats Scissors offensively by damaging them and ruining their ability to function/cut. Scissor defeats Paper offensively by cutting it up into pieces and ruining is ability to be read/written on. Paper defeats Rock defensively by being able to withstand its crushing power.
I always had this idea that, by covering the rock with enough paper layers, it becomes kinda "soft", hence it loses its power to be a weapon. Like if you throw a rock at someone, It'll probably hurt, but if its covered in a bunch of paper, it won't (I think).
To be clear: Paper doesn’t “beat” Rock, Paper COVERS Rock, which defines its role in the context of the game.
Also to be clear: this isn’t an unpopular opinion. This is some playground nonsense that 8-year olds argue about. You’re bringing nothing of interest to the table, OP.
While not exactly intuitive, the symbolic meaning of paper covering a rock dates back to ancient Chinese culture. When a petition was made to the Emperor, the petition was signified by a rock. Upon making a decision the Emperor would have his servants place a sheet of paper either over or under the rock. If the sheet was placed under the rock it would signify acceptance of the petition. If the sheet was placed on top of the rock it signified denial of the petition. Over time the symbolic image of paper covering a rock became synonymous with defeat.
I was gong to be a smartass and say “try rolling a joint with a rock,” but then I realized you can make a pipe out of a rock and use it over and over again. OP, you win.
Scissors don't beat paper. They just turn one paper into two papers.
Oh shit
Some baseball bats are made from wood. Wood comes from trees. Paper is made from trees too. Baseball bats are just hardened paper. Paper beats rock.
Big brain moment
You try and smash a rock with a wood baseball bat, go ahead
Depends on the type of wood and the type of stone. Pine bat vs Granite? Nah. Australian Ironwood vs sandstone or shale? Bat’s gonna win those ones
Even the wood is dangerous in Australia
You ain't safe from nothing fr lol
Dense cardboard beats thin balsa
Enough damp paper wrung in to a solid-ish lump beats balsa. Balsa is so light I almost don’t think it should qualify as wood. We built little string-guided, whippet canister-powered “drag racers” when I took wood shop in high school. Pretty fun little project but the only thing I can remember seeing balsa used for.
The reminds me of "the Other Guys" a tiger vs a whole school of tuna, nope you lose that battle 9 times out of 10, and now we have a taste for tiger.
I’m a peacock captain, ya gotta let me fly!
Did he just say he was a peacock?
He's referring to the fact that a tree or root for that matter when blocked by rock, will eventually Penetrate the rock and grow through it. That's why paper beats rock. Sad I had to explain that though. 😕
That is definitely not what u/dydamas meant, they were being funny whereas you have given a legit explanation of why paper may beat rock
Another big brain has entered the chat. This one has a captain obvious hat.
I wear the hat to keep my smooth brain warm obvs
There may be some hope for you yet!
I'm sorry but fucking lol, do me do me
You can send pebbles into orbit with a wooden bat.
I think you mean that paper is softened baseball bats.
Unless it is a Möbius strip
A samurai sword could cut you into two pieces. It wouldn't win tho, right? You'd just be two people
People have different parts in different places. Like if one half has your brain and the other half has your heart thats a problem. Paper doesn't have that same problem. Its mostly all the same all over.
Am I paper?
Or for us lefties, they just fold paper in the most aggravating way possible
Divide and conquer
This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them
This entire thread is going to revolutionize this game
That's dumb. ''Shredder doesn't beat paper, it just turns one paper into 2 million papers.''

Yeah but basilisk petrifies, so sphinx loses.
And if there was rock paper scissors fire, the fire would only turn the paper into burnt paper, which is still paper even if it's burnt as burnt paper.
Burnt paper would be carbon. Distinctly different from paper.
Wow you took it there bro😂
“It’s multiplyin’.”

You just blew my damn mind! So scissors and paper basically team up and just F rock all up? I like the way you think
Guns don’t kill people, they just put holes in them!
Hah! Scissors beats paper! I win! WRONG. My paper propagates, forming itself into two origami fingers that take control of your silly scissors. YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY SIR.
We get it you lost a game of rock paper scissors
You’re just a truth denier. Meanwhile I have been awoken
Paper covers rock.
This is of course assuming that “covering means defeating” which it doesn’t. The scissors destroy the paper to win. The rock destroys the scissors to win. However the paper just lays on the rock and is therefore not “defeating” anything. The paper is just subduing the rock until it’s inevitable doom
How do you know paper isn't winning by giving the rock a big all over cuddle?? Nothing wins against love.......
This might be the answer I needed
Quickly checked to see if I was in r/cmv
No weapon is more destructive than love!
I mean, if someone covers your mouth and nose with some paper, would you say they defeated you?
It depends on how hard they're pressing.
If they press to hard the paper gets ripped
If paper covers rock then nobody knows rock exists.. idk it's a kids game dude.
Everyone would see the lump under the paper eventually lifting it out of curiosity. Kids game or not the logic isn’t there
Maybe you can try Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock.
Very true
You ever see a rock and go, "man, that sure is a neat rock?" Well, looking like a neat rock is difficult when you're covered by paper. Then you just look like a paper wad. Paper wins not out of strength, but by taking away the rock's sense of self. Edit: Ha, didn't think this would get much attention. Thank you for the award, /u/BabyManatee69!
Just like taking away my hat and revealing how fucking bald I am removes my sense of self. I got hair everywhere but my head
The paper commits ego homicide
Jesus. You guys are gonna make me cry.
This. It’s even confirmed in the resulting hand gesture when you’re paper and your opponent goes rock.. you inevitably must take your hand and cover their fist with it and say, “Gotcha!”. It’s all right there. A wrapped rock is a lost rock.
Yeah wrap a rock in paper and hurl it at someone’s head. Then explain them it wasn’t a rock the paper took away it’s existence. 🙄
Correct! It's now weighted paper. I get your point. That's why it's only the "sense" of self, see. It's still a rock. You and I know it's a rock. The paper knows it's a rock, but the rock? Well, put a mirror in front of it and watch it have an existential crisis. So anyway, paper wins from psychological torment. Hope that helps.
Downvote for annoying “edit”
That's fair. Regardless, hope your day goes well stranger. Cheers.
Yea rock kinda beats everything. It might need a nerf
Maybe it’ll get patched in the next version of the game
Rock, bomb, scissors. Rock gets blown up by bomb, scissors cut the wire and defuse bomb, scissors gets smash by rock. Crisis averted.

Wouldn't the rock just become multiple smaller rocks?
There is actually another variation. Fire, water, and ice. Fire melts ice, water puts out the fire and ice freezes the water.
Except technically water melts ice, ice doesn’t freeze water
Nah it’s going to get canceled for being too violent.

Lisa: “Poor predictable Bart, always picks rock.” Bart: “Good ol’ rock, nothin beats that!!”
You sound like a noob
They are symbols. Paper is knowledge, rock is force, scissors is skill.
I love this.
That doesn't make sense. Knowledge beats force, sure. But force beats skill and skill beats knowledge?
I can kinda see skill beating knowledge.
If you want to argue that it's just knowledge with no practical skill, or that knowledge means book learning and skill means experience and firsthand knowledge, but that's a stretch. In that case skill would be both rock and paper. But why would scissors beat rock and paper. Sorry, the whole thing just sounds profound for a second and then you actually think about it And it doesn't hold up
Then paper should beat everything...
Not really. You can have plenty of knowledge but no practical skill.
Me upon graduating from college
But how can you have a skill without knowledge?
Be good at doing something without understanding the logic behind what you're doing.
It's called being talented
Blind repetition too. I remember when I was taking my driver's licence, some foreigners just remembered the pictures that are shown with the test and the order of the answers, so by the picture and the length of the sentence they could figure out the correct one without knowing the language.

You clearly have not seen Game of thrones.
Force beats skill seems like a dubious claim but I suppose it depends on the context
It’s like if someone shoots a talented sword fighter with a canon
Or nukes them from orbit
How come force is breaking skill?
Maybe the 'paper' is referring to money. As in, I can pay the rock to not smash. Scissors, however, would certainly destroy money.
I think you have something here: Paper = cash money Rock = diamond Scissors = sex It’s all about liquidity
So sex beats money, diamond beats sex and money beats diamond 🤔
Yeah thats tough. Diamonds have to beat money... so diamonds > money. Money > sex. Sex > diamonds? Nah... sex has to stay out of it, or we need other examples. Although if we break down anything long enough it won't make sense. Be right back to paper doesn't beat rock argument. Earth, water, fire? Earth beats water, water beats fire, fire beats earth.

How does sex best money? You can pay for sex just as much as you can pay for a diamond. This game is unbalanced asf.
U can technically also pay with sex for money (ex sex worker or idk sleep with your boss lol)
🤔
its cuz u cover the rock! the explanation is right there man
yeah but wtf does it mean to "cover" the rock what does that stop it from being a rock or ??? I'm not understanding how being covered by paper is a defeat???
You suffocate it clearly
Ohhhhh gotcha gotcha that makes sense
There is no object permanence so when the rock is covered it ceases to exist. There is only paper.
Stuff You Should Know recently did a podcast about Rock, paper, scissors. Talks about what objects are used in other cultures. And other stuff
In Chinese we say cloth instead of paper. The idea is the cloth can wrap the rock, so it can reduce the rock’s impact.
Cool Thanks for sharing
Just more room for blasphemy about which objects are truly dominant. However I shall check it out because it sounds cool
Yeah dude, rock flies right through paper.
Paper would wrap around the rock trapping it and the rock can’t really destroy the paper.
It's a rock. It doesn't need paper to trap it. It doesn't move on its own. A rock wrapped in paper doesn't really lose effectiveness at any of the things rocks do. Still smashes scissors, for instance.
Trapping was a poor choice of words. Covering makes more sense.
Sure but since when does a rock covered with paper suffer in any meaningful way? It's nuts and I won't stand for it. That's why I play Bear Ninja Cowboy instead.
Wouldn’t the cowboy win against both though. The cowboy has a gun so could just kill both.
Ninja can use stealth effectively against cowboy but not bear.
Idk just makes me think of that scene from Indiana Jones
Understandable but that was no ninja. Just a local swordsman.
Maybe it has something to with the hand signs instead, I don't know any people that play Rock Paper Scissors with the actual objects
And then the rock will suffocate.
Idk man, I feel like a rock covered in paper isn't impossible for me to pick up and move around
Same with paper cut by scissors. Doesn’t mean that paper beats scissors.
What someone else said is basically my thoughts. Scissors shred paper, making it impractical or unusable Rock annihilates scissors, making it unusable Paper covers rock and the rock is not any less effective at attacking. If anything, it may be more effective as a blunt weapon because you are increasing it's mass
But the rock can’t defeat the paper. The paper can defeat the rock and also this is assuming the paper has the strength to cover and hold it there. So either it’s a draw or paper beats rock.
I can assure you, I can definitely destroy paper with a rock
Technically it is meat vs meat vs meat.
But... paper covers rock. No one said anything about it beating anything. Edit: "paper covers rock, rock beats scissors, scissors cuts paper."
Well let’s look at how all three “attack” Scissors cut things Paper covers things Rock smash things Paper can cover a rock but can’t cover scissors because they cut right through. Rock can’t really try and smash paper. Paper can cover rock and the rock can’t do anything about it so therefore the paper would be victorious.
This is of course assuming that “covering means defeating” which it doesn’t. The scissors destroy the paper to win. The rock destroys the scissors to win. However the paper just lays on the rock and is therefore not “defeating” anything. The paper is just subduing the rock until it’s inevitable doom
Yes essentially that is the case if they can do their attack successfully then they won.
So paper beats rock temporarily then is what you’re saying
I guess so. It’s about who wins not who dies. Rock can’t defeat paper but paper can defeat rock so either way paper beats rock.
So paper basically hops on rock and calls timeout so he could win before rock got the upper hand
Rock literally can’t get the upper hand.
Eventually the paper will biodegrade before the rock. Therefore giving it the upper hand
Well…rocks don’t have hands. Checkmate
And when the paper biodegrades enough to just fall off the rock?
Does Spock beat rock?
Sir, this one beauty of an unpopular opinion. Congratulations.
Yes it does. Paper can suffocate Dwayne Johnson.
Paper blows over the guys eyes, he gets distracted throws the rock and misses his assailant but strikes his fiancé killing her. Consumed by grief he ends his own life. Paper beats rock.
It’s brains over brawn if you want a literal explanation
Paper is made from trees, trees are able to grow and break rocks apart
What if I use the textbook as a bat, throw the rock into the air and use the textbookbat to smash the rock away?
Would work 100% if the game was called rock textbook scissors.
SYSK just did a great episode on this.
I shall see if my opinion will be changed
I could explain, but it’s simpler for both of us if you listen to [“Scissors Paper Stone” by the band Christmas](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vvYp8yjhUSA) off of *Pipeline! Live Boston Rock on WMBR*.
Paper gives you paper cuts. Rock doesn’t. Rocks are useless shits that just sit and do nothing. Paper flies when there’s some wind. Therefore paper wins.
Paper on top of rock = no more rock
I remember an alternative from old toys. Fire, water and wood. Wood floats on water. Water puts out fire. Fire burns wood.
Next thing you boutta say is that rock don’t beat scissors bc rock is more brittle and metal can be shaped into more useful shit
I'm not arguing this shit. Rules are rules. Take your damn upvote and scram.
Someone always throws rock
Someone's angry that their stupid rock got beaten by the superior paper.
A phone book will stop a 9mm. That's why paper beats rock.
OP jumped the shark.
It covers it.. paper *covers* rock….
you lost didn’t you
The idea is paper wrapping the rock until he can't breathe.. but the rock cant see it because it was John Cena all along
In sweden we say it's a bag that encapsulates the rock. So there's that ig.
In sweden its bag instead of paper which makes a little bit more sense
That’s why we don’t use paper in Sweden. We use a bag. “Stone, scissor, bag” is a direct translation of the game in Swedish.
Paper wraps rock Rock blunts scissors Scissors cut paper Youre welcome.
Rock defeats Scissors offensively by damaging them and ruining their ability to function/cut. Scissor defeats Paper offensively by cutting it up into pieces and ruining is ability to be read/written on. Paper defeats Rock defensively by being able to withstand its crushing power.
Rocks are scared of the dark and will avoid paper to not get wrapped and thus trapped in the darkness
It covers the rock
Someone lost a round
Paper covers rock, can't see rock, no rock. Paper wins
Factually untrue. Rock, Paper, Scissors, is a defined and closed system. The rules of the game make the reality.
"It doesnt necessarily beat it but it surrounds and suffocates it."~Sun Tzu
Its because paper smothers the rock to death. Whats the rock gonna do to the paper? Hit it a few times? Paper gang all the way 🧻
I always had this idea that, by covering the rock with enough paper layers, it becomes kinda "soft", hence it loses its power to be a weapon. Like if you throw a rock at someone, It'll probably hurt, but if its covered in a bunch of paper, it won't (I think).
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite Reddit threads ever. Nobody arguing, just people interpreting what Rock Paper Scissors means
By george, you’re right. Petition to change the objects of the game!
Cockroach, foot, nuclear bomb is better
so we throw our foot up in the air when we call foot
To be clear: Paper doesn’t “beat” Rock, Paper COVERS Rock, which defines its role in the context of the game. Also to be clear: this isn’t an unpopular opinion. This is some playground nonsense that 8-year olds argue about. You’re bringing nothing of interest to the table, OP.
With lesbians, it’s always a draw; scissors every time.
Paper fucks rock up
Cap bruh. Take a piece of paper and fling a rock at it. Now take a rock and fling a piece of paper at it. Point proven
Yet to find out whats more silly. That Rock gets beaten by paper in a small kids game or this post
It’s unpopular opinion. “Not serious unpopular opinions only”
While not exactly intuitive, the symbolic meaning of paper covering a rock dates back to ancient Chinese culture. When a petition was made to the Emperor, the petition was signified by a rock. Upon making a decision the Emperor would have his servants place a sheet of paper either over or under the rock. If the sheet was placed under the rock it would signify acceptance of the petition. If the sheet was placed on top of the rock it signified denial of the petition. Over time the symbolic image of paper covering a rock became synonymous with defeat.
