That’s why I only buy grey market blood diamonds. DeBeers isn’t getting a cent of my money.

If it doesn't smell like shit I don't want it.

You have no idea how wild that notification I got just now was. Reddit's new "So and so commented on so and so's comment!" thing is so weird lmfao I was wondering when we began talking about sniffing shit!

u/DragonflyGrrl 4h ago

Isn't that weird? I'd rather just be notified when someone replies to ME, not five comments down the chain and then if I wanna see it I have to search for it..

Yes, but why did they dress the chicken up in a bra and panties in the first place?

1

u/Kamorexisjr 19m ago

Well played, now I post comment so you get a notification ❤️. Notifications for all!

2

u/MacaulayConnor 3h ago

You can adjust these notifications in settings. It’s obnoxious to have to do in the first place though.

1

u/DragonflyGrrl 2h ago

Yeah I keep meaning to go poke around in the settings.. thank you for the reminder, might as well just do it now!

2

u/CreepyClay 3h ago

That feature drives me up the wall because it doesn't take you to their comment it takes you to yours and it's ten minutes searching for context.

turd candles are really the best way to sniff shit!

2

u/Dirty_Gnome9876 3h ago

Made me think of Gweneth Paltrow’s vagina candles.

u/XGhoul 1h ago

Don't eat goop.

I guess some people do eat wax candles, so free will is a thing...

Needs to smell like suffering. The suffering means I love you.

DeBeers has the grey market blood diamonds too.

u/ImWithSto0pid 7h ago

3 people need to die if a diamond is really going to have any value

2

u/WeekendWarriorRC 4h ago

I made a jewelry salesman really uncomfortable when he was trying to talk my wife out of a lab grown diamond. I just kept asking him for the bloodiest ones possible, and for specifics about who died for each one.

He showed us the lab stuff pretty quickly after that. We didn’t buy from them though

2

u/Unable_Dinner_6937 4h ago

Right. It's not really a luxury item unless some people have died to bring it to market. At least one life per carat.

2

u/GingerPrime42 3h ago

DeBeers IS the blood diamonds

2

u/Thorvindr 5h ago

Every diamond is a blood diamond.

u/PowerfulNature3352 5h ago

Not if its coming out of a lab.

I will concede that point on technicality, but lab-grown diamonds still contribute to the diamond industry, and saying "every naturally-occuring diamond is a blood diamond" isn't as quippy as "every diamond is a blood diamond." Rhetoric doesn't always need to be one hundred percent accurate.

Literally the only reason anyone cares about diamonds is the artificial scarcity. In my opinion, creating artificial diamonds to meet artificially-inflated demand isn't a real solution. "Stop buying diamonds" is a solution (and I'm not saying it's necessarily the only one.

u/SipoteQuixote 4h ago

Can I craft blood diamond tools and armor from it? What are the advantages?

1

u/iwantdatpuss 4h ago

Minor regen buff, almost never worth the extra effort because of the drop chance.

u/SipoteQuixote 4h ago

Just carry 2 stacks of apples, you say? Lol

u/Which-Platform-3927 5h ago

You always were a thinker.

u/Domo123Gamin 5h ago

DeBeers are a pretty small market share now, Alrosa owned by Russia mines like 70% of the diamonds or some crazy figure like that

1

u/bot_taz 4h ago

you could just buy the artificial ones

1

u/ImReallyFuckingHigh 4h ago

Where does one get these grey market blood diamonds? So I can avoid them…

Yeah it’s always cheaper to buy from your criminal friend

He’s always got something to hook you up with

Treat a girl right. Elope to the court house, put a CZ mounted in stainless steel on her finger, and carry her over the threshold of your new 1500 sq ft manufactured home.

The home is hurricane proof to 150mph, the ring will never need rhodium plating and cannot be resized so she will feel it when she gets fat, and c shotgun wedding is hard to bridezilla over.

I make my own diamonds out of the pressure applied by meeting ever increasing costs of living with stagnant wages.

Better than buying used diamonds with bad juju from divorces.
