Suffering Makes Diamonds Special

it's actually crazy we figured out how to grow real diamonds that are cheaper and better quality than the real thing and so many people are still like, no thanks the suffering is what makes it special.

A screenshot of a tweet jokes that people prefer naturally formed diamonds because their suffering makes them feel more special, despite lab-grown diamonds being cheaper and higher quality. It is a sarcastic reaction to romanticizing hardship and treating expensive, painful origins as part of an object's value.
