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.

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?
Sheepy@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
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.

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