DIY Ocean Diamond Factory
Just your average Tuesday in the lab: create extreme pressure conditions in the deep ocean, trigger a carbon implosion reaching temperatures comparable to the sun, and harvest diamonds. Nature's pressure cooker hack that geology textbooks don't want you to know about. Forget waiting millions of years for diamond formation—just weaponize basic physics and commit minor environmental crimes. The ultimate get-rich-quick scheme for the scientifically unhinged.

The Great Uranian Diamond Heist
Scientists: "We need more funding for our research." Grant committee: "What exactly are you proposing?" Scientists: "So hear me out... what if we just SET URANUS ON FIRE to steal its diamonds?" The "Dead Planets Society" podcast takes absurdist space heists to a whole new level! Fun fact: Uranus actually might contain diamond rain deep in its atmosphere where high pressure and carbon compounds create the perfect conditions. But instead of developing sophisticated extraction technology, these cosmic arsonists suggest the planetary equivalent of burning down a bank to get to the vault. Neptune's over there like "don't give them any ideas..."

Einstein's Diamond Correction
The meme hilariously pits pop culture against physics! Rihanna's famous "Shine bright like a diamond" lyric gets absolutely demolished by Einstein (allegedly) pointing out that diamonds don't actually shine—they reflect light through their crystalline structure. What makes this extra funny is that Einstein probably never said this, but it's exactly the kind of pedantic correction scientists love to make at parties. Technically, he's right though! Diamonds have a high refractive index (2.42) and perfect internal reflection geometry that scatters incoming light back to our eyes rather than generating their own luminescence. Next time someone tells you to shine like a diamond, hit them with some optical physics knowledge!
