yeah sure.

Fuck off /sci/ mate. We don't like this stuff here.

Could you at least be plausible?

Bleach + ammonia = chlorine gas, a known poison
Why would adding toxic chemicals to a biological system (grass) help the grass do anything?
Diamonds are formed under pressure, where's the pressure?

To be fair, anyone on /sci/ who did this didn't belong on the board.

But still, they don't deserve to die.
Better to do a less dangerous one, like the heated spoon under water.

Evolutionary pressure to adapt and survive.

I estimate it in the hundreds of GPa.

Well, that's just your opinion, man!

This thread reminds me of mythbusters... They just did a show on "homemade diamonds" and it was just as terrible as every other show they've done. I hate them so much.

>> No.1400961

fucking finally someone that agrees with me that show is retarded garbage

>> No.1400957

actually it creates chloramine gas not chlorine gas

Related question...

Making diamonds is obviously possible, even without tremendous pressure over eons. CVD can do it quickly enough. So, what's stopping Joe Schmoe from making diamonds in his basement? Is there something about CVD (or other approaches) that requires a huge expense? Surely the value of the produced diamonds would outweigh the cost of making them, right?

I have a dream that diamonds will become utterly worthless soon. They should already be worthless, but it will take something drastic to convince all the idiots out there who think that carbon is really rare and valuable.

No, no, no, everyone knows the only way to make diamonds in the home is with TNT!

also only nanodiamonds.

Dude, it's so awful, I think most of /sci/ would agree with you.

High vacuum equipment. In the high vacuum, weird stuff happens. Stuff like helium leaking through solid steel. Also expertise.

CVD is also slow as fuck.

From wikipedia:
> A fourth method, treating graphite with high-power ultrasound, has been demonstrated in the laboratory, but currently has no commercial application.

This is it, /sci/, we're going to be rich AND we're going to completely devalue stupid fucking diamonds. It's win-win.

I'm going to make a diamond the size of a car and attach a gold chain to it and sell it to some rapper for like $3.

I have no idea what the point of that image is, but why would you go to all that trouble to black out the names, but leave the URL there?
