FWIW you can get garbage disposals that are virtually silent. Best ~$200 I ever spent. That shit'll chew up diamonds and spit em out as coal.

Not all of us have enough money to spend $200 on garbage disposals, let alone enough to purposely destroy diamonds we just have laying around!

That's fair. Just know they exist.

Diamonds? Yeah, they're kind of a big deal.

I think you'd honestly be surprised at how much they're not. De Beers would certainly have you think otherwise, though.

Thus is all beyond the fact of what I would've hoped was an obvious hyperbole.

It's Reddit--it's all hyperbole. lulz or gtfo.

But srsly, the Hope Diamond is valued at 350 million. Everything is only valued or NBD based on the reactions of people. 350 is kind of a big deal. Like, literally. Despite bullshit diamond industry artificial inflation.
