I’m going to need some source for this

Ablative heat shield. Someone call NASA

Thank god the terminids haven’t figured this out.

What makes you think they haven’t?

They are holding their best in reserve

Yeah that shit looks pretty fuckin burnt there bud

Not anything below the skin.

Would you like to compare with steel in same situation?

Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 22:50 next collapse

I would, yeah

Tuuktuuk@piefed.ee on 19 Sep 22:49 collapse

It wouldn't look burnt.

HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 20 Sep 00:00 collapse

While impressive, especially realizing that video is sped up 3.5x, steel will fare that test better

crt0o@discuss.tchncs.de on 19 Sep 19:35 next collapse

Any organic material will combust at 3300C given enough time

marcos@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 19:42 collapse

Yes. The OP posted the video, it’s clearly an ablative protection.

woodenghost@hexbear.net on 19 Sep 19:38 next collapse

I tried to research that, but couldn’t find anything. Seems they quickly rot, even at moderately warm temperatures. I have to call bullshit.

Okay, wow, it was true all along. Thanks for sharing that cool video!

“Withstand” is a strong word. It charred a groove into the durian in a minute or so.

Thordros@hexbear.net on 19 Sep 21:10 collapse

Oooooh, great answer, but you didn’t say “Um, Actually” so I cannot award you the point. <img alt="berdly-actually" src="https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/c5a13b0e-6010-42eb-b7b0-24cec79619d7.png">

Prefect for reentry into the planets atmosphere.

It stinks up the whole atmosphere tho.

Wait, can durian be use for bombardment from orbit?
Is somehow being launched into space & colonising order planetary systems in durios life cycle??

TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today on 19 Sep 20:00 next collapse

Not really that surprising, a lot of natural materials have really good insulating qualities. Considering that it’s mostly cellulose and water, I wouldn’t really really think it would be flammable unless dried out.

loldog191@lemmy.ca on 20 Sep 00:12 collapse

woah that’s so cool, so the expanding steam is making a barrier across the surface of the skin!?!?

if you shot a durian at the sun, how close could it get before burning up?

would it form a tiny atmosphere with microscopic weather patterns and have a comets tail of steam?

GreenKnight23@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 06:47 next collapse

for all of 0.0000004 seconds

Sheepy@sh.itjust.works on 20 Sep 08:43 collapse

While there’s definitely a distance at which you could teleport a durian at which it would form a cute micro-comet, it would be practically invisible. Comets are huge things, 100s of meters to kilometers across. The only way you’d be able to appreciate the durian micro-comet would be if you were right next to it. Conveniently, you’d also be able to appreciate the “you” micro-comet you’d form.

Breath of the Wild lied to me about durians.
