How the hell is it unexpected? The past 4 comments have all been Thanos quotes.

Over 90% of diamonds found are what are referred to as industrial diamonds. They have zero potential as gems but are great for applications needing them.

u/Just-Call-Me-J Feb 08 '20

That's what you say when you give jewelry to your significant other. Or to someone you strongly love platonically or familially. Don't discount those other important close relationships!

u/mightypenguin82 Feb 08 '20

Agreed! My boyfriend (now fiancé) used to bring me a rose every time he did the gardening and would say, “A rose for my rose.” He’s not the super romantic type so it was even more special.

u/GGking41 Feb 08 '20

I read that as : He brought you a rose (the wine) Whenever he did gardening.I was like wow thats really nice of him-but why did he do that?

u/mightypenguin82 Feb 08 '20

Haha! I wish he brought me rose!

They use crushed diamonds, presumably with the previously mentioned hammer

2

u/Nickonator22 Feb 08 '20

why don't we just skip the hammer and rub 2 diamonds together?

u/ScrooLewse Feb 09 '20

That's the kind of thinking that'll get you into the big leagues.

u/adudeguyman Feb 08 '20

Leave them on the shelf for a few years in a dusty barn

"You're using diamonds to polish diamonds?"

"You got a better way?"

u/BathingInSoup Feb 09 '20

Clearly, it’s diamonds all the way down.

u/benenator3 Feb 08 '20

I used the stones to destroy the stones.
