Diamonds burn at temperatures of I-can't-be-bothered-to-look-it-up but under enough pressure and heat they have been liquified. Also, artificial diamonds can be created by compressing carbon sufficiently.

Around 5000 degrees celcius. Enough to survive mantle temperatures.

The human body has 77000 calories, enough to heat a cup of water to 77000 degrees kelvin above room temperature.

Doing some maths which seem more-or less right (and assuming Neonivek's 77000 calorie energy in a human body. I looked elsewhere for the melting point of diamond though. It was more like 3500 degrees), the energy in a human body could bring a diamond of 179 grams to melting from room temperature.

So today, my friends and I were talking about overrated youtubers, and I said that I didn't like Pewdiepie because he makes rape jokes all the time, so one of my friends tried to convince me that if comedians stopped making rape jokes, the economy would collapse somehow.
Uh. I think we need a hall of fame, just because of this. Are you sure he wasn't pulling your leg?
He wasn't talking in a sarcastic tone of voice, and I asked him if he was joking, and he said no.

Murder is the only solution.

I am confused. I thought suffragettes are those sticks people throw in the air and then catch again?

I just searched and found that our body doesn't provide the pressure nor temperature to melt diamonds


Untrue. If you were to somehow harness all the Calories in the human body it is more then enough to melt a diamond.
But you can't. By 'our body' I mean our stomachs specifically. To be dissolved by acid we need 400°C and many atm of pressure.

Well, given enough bodies and a liberal application of magma...

Don't need magma, just bodies. Few trillion of them in outer space, or at least enough to form a gravity well, and you've got plenty of pressure and heat at the center of the floating ball of meat.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

At that pressure, wouldn't they just heat up and melt into meat-magma anyway?

Altough the real reason is because it supports, condone encourages trolling. For something as famous as it once was, that is terrible.
Wut? It doesn't really matter wether you like homestuck or not, that is stupid.

Encourages trolling? Because it has characters called "trolls" who trolled the main characters for all of 6 in-story hours before getting over it and growing the fuck up?
