Its a meme, chill. And durian “withstands” that insane heat because … it doesn’t. It burns and chars and that layer of carbon is a great insulater so the inner part of the fruit stays cooler for far far far longer than the inside of a steal ball of the same size would.

Flat earth was a meme too at some point.

It’s a “sciency” meme that presents a bunch of nonsense. I will not chill.

I’ve never understood this idea of using a label as a shield for any and all criticism. “It’s a meme”, “it’s a shitpost”. Particularly when everyone seems to accept the idea of “meme” = “literally every image”. People can actually spread false information as a joke and it still do damage. Maybe this isn’t the worst one but it still appears false and there’s no reason people can’t point that fact out

Burnt wood is an amazing insulator. IIRC the Soviets used wooden heat shields on some reentry capsules because that material outperformes any synthetic yet known as an ablative heat shield.
