Lab-grown rocks

When I was getting married a few years ago, I remember thinking fuck real diamonds lab-grown are literally the same thing. I remember getting some push back from some weirdos about how "real" diamonds are some how better or how people will think I'm a cheapskate or how people will feel bad for my wife...

Well, fast forward a few years and literally nobody cares, thinks about, or has said anything negative about my wife's ring. We are both 1000000% happy and satisfied with the decision to buy lab grown.

We said fuck diamonds entirely, even lab grown, and even had to go out of our way to find something that didnt have diamonds on it somehow

Fucking noice, dude. 👏 Honestly, yeah, why even diamonds. They brainwashed us good.

Women love diamonds for their wide range of industrial applications.

Like making pickaxes and mining obsidian?

it's actually a quote from Portal, or marketing material thereof.

Mostly because they dont get scratched. Theyre pretty neat. Not blood diamonds though, those are a crime against humanity.
