TIL that diamonds are actually very worthless and even can be manufactured in labs but some jewish oligarch company owns all the diamond mines in the world and controls the price.
>>225010704I've thought about this. if I get an alien wife I will buy them an earth diamond. otherwise I'll just give them zircon
it's even worse than that, they don't so much "control" the price as they manipulate it through advertising and social manipulation etc.
>>225010704yeah diamonds are worthlessgold or silver actually have some value
>>225011331Don't forget artificial scarcity
>>225010704the only useful application of diamonds that i know of is for cutting tools, they obviously use the synthetic ones. I don't really blame the jews for scamming foids because they're retarded and would fall for another scam if this didn't exist.
Do other countries have the 'you need to spend 'x' times your monthly salary' in your wedding ring psyop?
>>225010704Diamond is the hardest material on earth they use it for industrial equipment like saw blades and drill bits. Not many people are willing to mine it because it's an absolute bitch to get out of the earth, it's stupidly labor intensive.
De Beers is actually getting crushed by synthetic right now, look it up You are a bit late to the party. Every other woman has a gaudy 4 carat stone on her finger now.
>>225011411Why would i want gold and silver that melt at around 1000C when platinum exists and melts at 1768C?
i always thought of diamonds as of some social engineering ploy praying on retarded femoids (or rather, their partners)transparent stones that you can barely tell apart from quartz that shit's so lame
>>225010704They are not worthless at all.Industrial applications for diamonds that could be formed in different shapes are endless. It's the hardest natural material, the best thermal conductor, one of the best electrical insulators.Making cheap large diamonds at any given designed form would unironically be a game-changer for the world.As for De Beers, the fact that foids love blood diamonds is on them. This is the only monopoly in the world that is not grounded in the reality of economic scarcity. It's a monopoly of the mind (of foids).
>>225011505kek reminds me of that story that papuan highlanders used to value sea shells because it was rare, and they had no idea about the ocean. well after contact they got flooded with sea shells causing sea shell inflation and everyone and their mother covered themselves with sea shells
>>225010704It is kinda funny watching da jooz seethe because china is flooding the market with cheap synthetic diamonds.
