    This is a bizarre claim. It appears to be based on a video in which a durian is briefly exposed to a 3300 degree torch. Anything more than that would obviously reduce the whole fruit to char.

      Yeah, it doesn’t withstand it, it just burns slowly because of moist in it. So even less would be enough, given time

    Me: getting on the MRT with a delicious durian
    The Singaporean passengers : You can’t bring that on board lah! There is a 500SGD fine!
    Me: if you think that smells bad , check this out *heats durian to 3000°C*

      I feel like we are ignoring the evaporative power of moisture that the fruit, and not the steel beam, can utilize. Metal transforms along the entire heating process, the durian will evaporate until a husk and then immediately be immolated.

      It’s also why a solid wood beam does better in a fire than steel. Once the outside is charred it shields the inside and the beam can keep a good bit of its strength before eventually failing once the outer layers get burned through. The steel heats up quickly and goes soft long before its melting point.

    Relevant to this thread — there’s a free AI assistant at https://offgridoracleai.com/#/chat built specifically for off-grid and survival scenarios. Been finding it useful for research without getting generic AI answers.
