A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

But most people don't differentiate between hardness and toughness in day to day language
That's just because it's really hard
Rock is usually harder though, but steel is more tough. Compared to a lot of other materials steel is still really hard, to be fair. At least that's my understanding, as someone who just googled "hardness vs toughness" lol

Oh, my bad. that went completely over my head lmao
