with cheap lab-grown diamonds on the horizon, how soon until i can replace/coat everything that comes into contact with me in pure diamond?

personally think diamond-tipped chopsticks to be the end-game utensil

not just coated with small diamonds on the tip: an actual huge single diamond on the end of each stick

Diamond tipped? Just make the whole chopstick out of diamond. One long diamond. "The hardest chopsticks you'll ever use"

Sadly, diamond is pretty brittle :(

What are you doing with your chopsticks?

I've never used one of those compostable forks made from potatoes without it snapping in half or leaving a broken tine in my mouth, yet they still seem to sell. Make the diamond chopsticks single use and they'll sell like hotcakes!

Diamonds don't seem compatible with teeth and the digestive tract. I wouldn't use that if it was free.

Well, at least your teeth could be diamonds.
