Steve Hoefer's [Rock Paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bravest-studio) Scissors Glove is perfect for people who have no friends. Now you can play with yourself in public without being embarrassed.

Rock paper scissors usually requires a friend with at least a hand, but Steve Hoefer has changed all of that. His glove actually learns from the player, so if you always throw paper first, it will start throwing scissors first. Brilliant! This glove will eventually be my new best friend.
