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.

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.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 31 minutes ago

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_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 30 minutes ago

right. Also the duration does matter much. Before I would label it "withstand", it sure should come out totally unharmed after a prolonged exposure.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 30 minutes ago

It also takes things with a high water content a while to heat up.

[–] groet@feddit.org -4 points 7 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

It's a "sciency" meme that presents a bunch of nonsense. I will not chill.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 13 points 7 hours ago

Flat earth was a meme too at some point.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

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.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 38 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 36 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Think of the smell, you haven't thought of the smell

[–] Zidane@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

It only smells

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 17 points 8 hours ago

“The Russians used a durian”…

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Mechanics would be passing out due to how bad the hanger bay smells.

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Klear@piefed.world 19 points 9 hours ago

Durians originally evolved to grow on suspots. 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 trash"

Oh you mean that!? That's Durian"

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

But it tastes like vanilla pudding!

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 2 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, she enjoyed a durian-flavored drink.

[–] username_1@programming.dev 14 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

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.

So what? Who knows what they mean by that "°C". Maybe it is "Omerika Cool" or something.

[–] sudoku@programming.dev 6 points 9 hours ago

Don't show this to Jolibee

The meme is clear what's not to get

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 5 points 9 hours ago

You'll get a similar result with pineapple

[–] kbobabob@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 hours ago

Dry durian fruit?
