No it does not. Just because some YouTuber/tiktoker (I assume) said it, doesn’t mean it’s true.
Probably tested it for a very short duration and also didn’t measure surface-heat at that time.
Even we humans can withstand 3000°C for a short time. Sure, it’ll get loud, nasty and painful, but we wouldn’t instantly perish.
Steel can withstand much longer. And is probably more willing than a human.
I’d argue that your hand would probably even withstand a bit longer. Surely depends on what we set as “withstand”-boundaries :-)
But that title suggested that durians could WITHSTAND 3k°C (which means surely a more prolonged time, like steel) not just not melt into oblivion for some seconds.
I think I saw the video of it, they did it by holding a blow torch to it.
But many videos like that are misleading because the person filming it doesn’t know how blow torches work. They always hold the torch RIGHT up against the thing they’re trying to burn, but you barely get any heat when you use it like that. You have to hold it a few inches back, right at the tip of the inner jet. That’s where the hottest point is.

If we want to be entirely pedantic, everything can withstand any destructive condition for at least one plank time.

It also takes things with a high water content a while to heat up.
right. Also the duration does matter much. Before I would label it “withstand”, it sure should come out totally unharmed after a prolonged exposure.
Undoubtedly.
…willing? You think metal alloys have agency and capacity for consent? 😄
No. But exactly that makes it infinitely more easy to abuse it for heat-related endeavors :-)
