    Random fact: hardness vs softness is one of big reasons recommended not to use a stainless steel blade on something like a knife.
    It's much harder so it can maintain an edge but it's much much more difficult to sharpen and is more brittle

    The price of diamonds is actually fake af - years ago a single corp decided they're gonna pretend it's much more valuable than it really is and popularised it in jewelry, making people think it's the most beautiful stone, when for example, a much cheaper moissanite reflects light way more beautifully (they sparkle with more intense rainbow colors). IMO as a professional jewelry designer diamonds are overrated af, but the hardness is real and there is value in that , so that's the symbolism that made it the most popular choice for engagement rings. However, I think that nowadays people who get their significant other a huge diamond ring are more likely to show off, knowing they're gonna prolly divorce later (we sell breakup rings in our shop lmao) so the beautiful symbolism of diamonds being forever is lost. Sorry for rambling, I have adhd and diamonds are literally my job kjhgfdfghjkjhf

    Short answer: Fucking no.
    Long answer: Depends on what you mean by "Diamond pickaxe"

  • @baddragonite
    @baddragonite 5 місяців тому +37

    The mass aspect is part of the reason diamond tipped tools irl are so useful.
    The overall size of the diamond tip makes it harder to break, while the mass of the steel behind it adds significant force (and it overall is much cheaper.) They basically combine the best aspects of both materials.
    Edit: and like you said in the video it generally works better for grinding against something

    Hey, Chiptide, I noticed a discrepancy in your "Best Type Combination" spreadsheet. NormalPoison and PoisonNormal have an "Offensive Score" of 115 and 155, respectively. I believe the correct value is 155. Furthermore, "Offiensive Score" ought to be "Offensive Score."
    The Best Type Combo video was fascinating to watch, and I'm using the data you collected and your methodology in my personal projects! Thank you so much for putting together that spreadsheet!

    A question that popped into my mind when i found an old Beyblade + game;
    How would you need to modify a Beyblade, for it to be able to complete just a few feats from game/anime?
    Take Ray and Drigger in the Asia tournament arc;
    Is there a way to make a Beyblade strong enough to wreck the "Great Wall of China" stage?

    Plus Steve is wearing netherite armor which can be enchanted and if you assume magic has weight and people also say that he doesn't Bend his knees I don't agree with but and he's easily able to jump half his height upwards with slowness and weakness and if he Sprint and can jump two and a half times further from him for a total of five blocks and can swim with all of that on in an ocean that would be incredibly pushing down on top of him easily able to swim up to the top in a minute

      They'd also be useless since there diamond tools coverd with netherite the inside would still shatter since it's diamond the outside would be fine but would loose most of its mass since the inside would be hollow, netherite armor would be even worse since the sharp diamonds would cut into your skin
