Not for "some reason". It's out of spite.

Which is probably also the reason for the smell

Char, just like how heat shields used to reenter the earths atmosphere work

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*

Help me name the sci-fi novella I'm (totally) going to write about durian panspermia.

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.

So you're telling me I can't burn all these durians? Now what am I going to do with them?

Evil fruit born in hellfire.

Do Androids Dream of Electric Durians?

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.

Like Tears in Durian

Nuke them from orbit. Only way to be safe

The fire does not want to go near the smell

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Durian.”

Left hand of Durian got me.

3 durian problem

Jet fuel can't melt wood beams!

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

The durian mostly come out at night. Mostly.

I hate when my durian doesnt burn cause it got the moist in it :(

Stop. Please, sir. The joke is already dead!

Send them to med school so they can get a job at Sacred Heart.

The Picture of Durian Gray.

you have to be prepared for global warming

Eat them all and temporarily increase your maximum heart containers.

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.

Technically correct, the best kind of correct

Durian, followed by Durian Messiah, Children of Durian...

What do you have against Moist?
