TIL scissors were invented before paper!

Clearly due to a time-travelling inventor.

What did they cut? Mummies?

I would think rudimentary scissors came from shears to cut wool or hair.

In order to get practical paper, youd need the process of cutting wood to a T, which likely would have created scissors before hand if cutting has evolved to that point already.

Something new for the gameplay but I can settle for cosmetics

Hope to see some new archetypes without too much power creep.

Are you, in fact, reposting your own meme?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Shoot, did it post twice? My instance has been having some issues with federation lately I think.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah I’ve had to switch instance actually - I was on a small one before and was having issues seeing my posts from other instances. Teething issues I suppose. Still, enjoying the general good vibes and camaraderie around here anyway. Makes one feel much more inclined to post and participate, rather than just lurk and feel sad doomscrolling.

Totally agree. Yeah, I've deleted a couple of posts recently to try to avoid duplicates after they didn't federate right. I'm chalking it up to growing pains.

Ah damn, I missed that it was already posted here. I got it from elsewhere.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

It’s a good meme I enjoyed seeing it a second time. Appreciate your posts man 🙏

That's the measure of lemmy's success. We're in the repost era, now.
