Because durian was forged in the bowels of hell. Makes perfect sense
No it does not. Just because some YouTuber/tiktoker (I assume) said it, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Probably tested it for a very short duration and also didn’t measure surface-heat at that time. Even we humans can withstand 3000°C for a short time. Sure, it’ll get loud, nasty and painful, but we wouldn’t instantly perish.
Steel can withstand much longer. And is probably more willing than a human.
Steel can withstand much longer.
Undoubtedly.
And is probably more willing than a human.
…willing? You think metal alloys have agency and capacity for consent? 😄

No. But exactly that makes it infinitely more easy to abuse it for heat-related endeavors :-)
Even we humans can withstand 3000°C for a short time.
If we want to be entirely pedantic, everything can withstand any destructive condition for at least one plank time.
Depends how weak the bond is. I think there are plenty of chemical mixes that wouldn’t even withstand a destructive condition for even a plank time
I’d argue that your hand would probably even withstand a bit longer. Surely depends on what we set as “withstand”-boundaries :-)
But that title suggested that durians could WITHSTAND 3k°C (which means surely a more prolonged time, like steel) not just not melt into oblivion for some seconds.
I think I saw the video of it, they did it by holding a blow torch to it.
But many videos like that are misleading because the person filming it doesn’t know how blow torches work. They always hold the torch RIGHT up against the thing they’re trying to burn, but you barely get any heat when you use it like that. You have to hold it a few inches back, right at the tip of the inner jet. That’s where the hottest point is.
It also takes things with a high water content a while to heat up.
right. Also the duration does matter much. Before I would label it “withstand”, it sure should come out totally unharmed after a prolonged exposure.

Its a meme, chill. And durian “withstands” that insane heat because … it doesn’t. It burns and chars and that layer of carbon is a great insulater so the inner part of the fruit stays cooler for far far far longer than the inside of a steal ball of the same size would.
It’s a “sciency” meme that presents a bunch of nonsense. I will not chill.
Flat earth was a meme too at some point.
I’ve never understood this idea of using a label as a shield for any and all criticism. “It’s a meme”, “it’s a shitpost”. Particularly when everyone seems to accept the idea of “meme” = “literally every image”. People can actually spread false information as a joke and it still do damage. Maybe this isn’t the worst one but it still appears false and there’s no reason people can’t point that fact out
Burnt wood is an amazing insulator. IIRC the Soviets used wooden heat shields on some reentry capsules because that material outperformes any synthetic yet known as an ablative heat shield.

smh they go through all that trouble to make insane single-crystal nickel alloys to make jet turbine blades when they could literally just use a durian. We really hate taking the easy route
Think of the smell, you haven’t thought of the smell
It only smells
Well that’s unlocked a memory
That means it’s taste too Rocco
you bitch!
That’s the price of progress. If you want the best, you gotta be ready to roll with the stench
“The Russians used a durian”…
Mechanics would be passing out due to how bad the hanger bay smells.
im sure thats something that an airline would tell the mechanics to "just suck it up, we’re saving money (that you’ll never see in the form of a raise)
Noseblind Airlines only hires employees with chronic sinusitis
Durians originally evolved to grow on sunpots. It’s a testament of evolution that they’ve been able to adapt to the comparatively freezing temperatures here on Earth.
“Why does this city smell so bad”
It’s not that bad…"
“The supermarket smells like sewage and wet trash”
Oh you mean that!? That’s Durian
But it tastes like vanilla pudding!
Yeah, she enjoyed a durian-flavored drink.
Are those some American temperature units? Where 1589 degrees is the temperature of a durian fruit after sitting in monkey’s ass for the time that 7 mildly-hungry farmers need to eat 12 hamburgers.
It says °C
So what? Who knows what they mean by that “°C”. Maybe it is “Omerika Cool” or something.
Imperial units put a man on the moon.
I’m sorry, but such a statement is just waiting for someone to google it; NASA used metric for the Apollo missions.
You’ll get a similar result with pineapple
Don’t show this to Jolibee
Wat
The meme is clear what’s not to get
Dry durian fruit?
