Garage is adjacent to House. Typically smaller, usually hotter, and often used when you want to go faster.
Jungle is way the fuck out there but it is always an adventure. Full of endangered species and ancient treasures, more organic and mysterious.
Breaks is when you’re broke and at a strip club in Florida.
Does that mean heavy metal is just metal that is toxic in low doses?
I’m so glad you invented metalbending
It's called progmetal
That's Toph, buddy.
Toph is gangster as fuck
Ore not.
Folk Ore?
I always figured it was because metal is harder than rock.
What about lead vs obsidian?
Check and mate, music nerds.
Diamond is the hardest metal. Ask any astrophysicist
Neil Diamond is the softest.
Van Halen, then.
But rocks are harder. Metal can bend where rocks would break.
depends on the "rock" and the "metal" (usually an alloy)
But metal can also split rock. Or crush it, or pulverize it, or drill it, or etc.
But rock beats scissors and scissors are metal.
Ah! Might good sir be a fellow Mechanical Engineer?
(no one else considers stuff that break instead of bend to be "harder")
I‘d argue many people outside of the field are able to grasp it too
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
Yes, my comment was a pun
Oh, my bad. that went completely over my head lmao
You silly goose
