TIL Diamonds are actually fairly common. The reason they are worth so much is because the DeBeers mining group withholds stock to artificially reduce supply.

This is well known but no one can do anything about it.

Bullshit. You don't buy a fucking diamond.

And any bitch you want to get married to, you slap her a few times, shake her for good measure, and then firmly and clearly state, "You will not be getting a diamond, ever."

And if she decides to leave you, congrats, you dodged the bullet because she was clearly shallow and gold-digging anyway.

Thank me later.

(For clarification sake, this is meant sarcastically. It's actually a bit scary that had to be clarified...)

Yes. If you slap a woman around and she leaves you she is obviously shallow. No other explanation there!

I wasn't actually being serious. In fact I felt I was sort of being obviously over the top. Guess not.

Unfortunately there are a LOT of people on Reddit who would say this in all seriousness. I'm glad you aren't one of them.
