Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Also, how does a stick break scissors?

I like to think it's just the same logic as that old stick vs 1,000 US marines post. Scissors cut the stick in half? Now you have two sticks. Stick always wins.

Anyway it's not like paper beats rock has a whole lot of reasoning behind it

This is why I prefer Ninja-Hunter-Bear

Ninja beats hunter

Hunter beats bear

Bear beats ninja

There’s full body actions that go with it, but this is text.

I've never heard of it either. I'm no swordsman. But Mulan is definitely throwing Stick.

Paper doesn't beat rock. Paper covers rock.

okay sure, but that wins you the round if you picked paper and I picked rock? That's paper beating rock. That it does this by "covering" the rock doesn't really clear anything up

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sigh, you beat me 😛.

I'm guessing it's a regional thing.

"Paper covers rock, Rock beats scissors Scissors cut paper"

is always how I heard it said out loud.

Eventually. But only if they're really shoddily made scissors.

Really big stick

I always imagined the rock makes the scissors blunt. That would work for a stick too.
