I got about tree fiddy
jackoffalltraides
Millennials want something with a screen that's why.. Way more useful than a shiny rock
momoneymopain
Because fuck diamonds. Here are 7 reasons why. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/1720870
xxtoxii
fuck you i own at leats a dosen of diamond plates for cutting steel and inox
r1k0suav3
I thought marbles were sick as a kid and a fraction of the cost of jewels
masterk999
Perhaps we have figured out that Diamonds are a scam. False scarcity to drive up prices of items that can never be resold for good value.
littlegoblin
WOAH MAN! THREE DOLLARS!? you can buy like 4 or 5 cups of noodles
thedarksideoftheforce
Because the diamond industry is a complete scam.
RoyBattysDove
Because they're one of the most common and most overpriced rocks in the world.
CurtainDoggo
Sorry to be poor and afraid of my futur while living in the middle of an economical crysis since i began to work. Must suck to sell diamonds
Ziggypiggyziggypiggy
And you guys didn't even get started when a "Tiffany" engagement ring is requested, that's even more marked up!
LSDontknowwhatsgoingon
Read all the comments waiting for a three fiddy joke
delveccio
I can't be the only one who sees this as a good thing. Diamonds were bullshit to begin with. Good show, millennials!
AngryCoconuts
Saw the thumbnail. Thought it was salt. "How'd they get that big salt?"
EClaire1073
Salt can be that big. Won't fit in your salt shaker, but it can be that big.
jsnforce
Because they're rocks that can be made cheaply in a lab but there's a whole monstrous industry built on us buying rocks from child labourers
wokkawokkawokka
Maybe because that's quartzite you're holding?
KckUNjUbR6GMwpnD
Because the De Beers Group lost the monopoly and consequently stopped brainwashing people to buy diamonds.
heyguysimtom
I'm a millennial with plenty of money, and I have no interest in fucking rocks
Sighhhh
You wear them, you don't fuck them
heyguysimtom
Well
MindOfMobius
Because some of us reject that specific form of materialism?
2amChilliman
Not since the accident.
everyusernameipickedwastaken
I see your 3 and bid 3.49.
EClaire1073
Imma need at least tree fiddy.

Finally! I can't believe people passed up the @op s joke.

I got 5 on it. - Luniz, Probably
fatfury
luniz definitely, yo
Ohmanthisisgonnabegood
I gotta say its getting insane what is blamed on millennials, next global warming and war in the middle east will be our fault.
SkeletonHitler
any comment about millennials is better with the "Millennial to snake people" google thing.
Hiynastrike
MUST... """DESTROY""" ART WORLD!
MuffintopMolestor
As a Gen-X'er I can say it is your fault. You're supposed to be opposing the Baby Boomers, not living with them... Losers...
wasserhund
20 years from now it will be our fault
astrogeek
So you're taking responsibility for those then? Cool!
IAmDrBanner
Harambe was still alive before the millennials...
Voltair
Pretty sure Harambe was a millennial.
IAmDrBanner
My point stands.

TheContemplatorOfFate
millennials caused 9/11 and bombed pearl harbor!
slappyhamsalads
Magsnificent
Yep, as a 16 year old on 9/11, I probably did do it and I definitely bombed Pearl Harbor. You know how teenagers are.
TheContemplatorOfFate
then do you admit to assassinating Tzar Alexander II and raiding Constantinople as well?
Magsnificent
Woah, hold on, that was definitely those GenXers. Don't blame that shit on us.
DescribingWhatYoureWatching
Also because diamonds are quite worthless items.
aleister94
Aren't they also recurred with extreme cruelty ? Or did they get rid that yet I don't watch the news
roostercrowe
the chairman of De Beers was quoted as saying "diamonds are intrinsically worthless"
howmuchwoodcouldawoodchuckchuck22
Smh that's not what the Jeweler said and I know he didn't lie. U must be wrong. Right?
nowlater123
Especially when you can just buy some moissanite.
TheUpsidedownestPersonAlive
I'm assuming that you're referring to the fact that the diamond market is a scam
Magsnificent
I mean this ring is way cooler (and cheaper) than a normal diamond wedding ring. https://imgur.com/YLJX5nK
yesthisisturbo
I'm a stonemason. They're pretty handy for cutting stone.
mataleao87
Unless you're a woman that doesn't have to pay for it
Itsaidthecharacterlimitforusernameswassixtythreesoithinkthisis
Maybe in some 3rd country you can trade those diamond earrings but not in America.
mallywanders
I specifically told my husband not to get me a diamond engagement ring. I wear a $10 ring from JCPenney as a wedding band now.
mallywanders
We've actually been through a few rings for me. My engagement ring stabs our fingers when we hold hands, then I got a tungsten ring and
mallywanders
Turned out to be allergic. But that's the thing-life is unpredictable, why waste thousands on a worthless gemstone on an impractical ring?
TheOneWhoLocks
They aren't rare at all their supply was just heavily controlled
slappyhamsalads
Exactly, it's a fabricated market.
Iamblaine
it still is
KimJongPhill
Always will be, long as ppl are buying em. I hate myself for succumbing to pressures and buying my wife a diamond engagement ring."For her"
Novachair
My girlfriend has forbidden me from buying her diamond or emerald jewelry (emeralds due to a bad ex)
shindhi
Aren't they good for some drills and precision cutting tools? (not that this warrants the high cost.)
Scorb1
Industrial diamonds are dirt cheap
MyPatronusIsVernonDursley
Industrial applications are cheap as hell and if you ask me that's the only application in which a diamond is worth a damn
keyserv
They are just dense, shiny rocks after all.
Mariodekabro
yeah we can make them, pluss they lose like 75% of the value if you try to sell it back to a store
BrosBeforeDINOS
What number divorce are you on?
Mariodekabro
im 20, i just have a habit of amassing random info
BrosBeforeDINOS
So would you know about how much money my holographic charizard card is?
Mariodekabro
what set was it part of an what grade is it
IupvoteWeedstuff
That's why diamonds are forever
iwaswasdoingfinelurking
+1 for the Exact reason
Padowan
You made me laugh +1
IupvoteWeedstuff
I'm not wrong
ziccu
Diamonds to do what?
CorneliusCornwall
Diamond stuff (in this sense diamond is a verb)
EClaire1073
We could make tools out of them.
ziccu
we do already (mostly artificial diamonds) but I do not see what a millennial will do with a diamond
EClaire1073
You wear them. That's about it. They're good for tools and jewelry.
ziccu
"good"
