That intro... can I have some of what you guys were on... Or one or more of the crowns?
And I just want some supervillain to make that diamond planet into a doomsday weapon...
Anyways, it seemed like there were more stories this week, all rapid-fire shorts.

I tried so hard to focus on the rest of this video, I really did, but after the mention of a planet made of diamonds I got distracted and just started reading up all I could find about it. XD
Guess I have to watch through again. ^_^

Tally and Kathleen! Christmas has come early this year!
By the way, Kathleen, those impact diamonds were actually declassified in the 90s and are porous, which makes them unsuitable for use in jewellery. However, you are still correct in that diamonds are abundant. De Beers and Alrosa pace their diamond extraction in such a way as to maintain high prices. Additionally, Alrosa has a huge diamond reserve.

Scary thing about that diamond planet...in another thread we have here, I actually figured out what planet that is.
Look up info about a movie called "Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer" and you'll see what I mean.
CAPTCHA: been there
No you haven't, Captcha. Stop lying.

Goldschlager still has gold in it, but the leaf if far too soft to cause even the most minor abrasion. I like the idea with diamonds though, definitely an idea for nonsensical party liqueurs of the future.
Goldschlager, Jagermeister and Cinnamon Fireball Whisky makes a delicious shooter that puts you on your arse. I imagine it would be nice with coke or something too.

Tally and Kathleen are secretly planning a new business.

Then call Tally and Kathleen at 1-800-TORTURE for lessons on the latest and greatest in causing unspeakable pain. Call now and we'll send you a free 'diamond dust in the cocktail' kit with your order. It's cutting edge!"

I love the amount of time spent trying to fix the outro and that Graham still ended up saying "got given"
Minecraft got it right: Trying to put a cutting edge on gold is like trying to put it on wood.

Thanks for this info! But yeah... anybody who doesn't know this should do some homework. It's kind of an eye opener on Capitalism.Don Reba said:
And idk if this practice is wrong... but it sure does FEEL wrong/shady. I mean... how did these companies get to a point where they control enough diamonds to affect its global price? Why hasn't another group of people jumped in to undercut these clowns?
Also, manufactured diamonds are now possible, and can be made on an industrial scale. And not the muddy diamonds that used to get used as phonograph needles -- these are aesthetically pleasing, optical quality diamonds. You can also add doping agents to the process to get the diamond in a variety of colors. Their structural perfection meets or exceeds any naturally-occurring diamond.Don Reba said:
