softener

1- A substance that is used produce soft water (water with reduced hardness). 2- A device used for the same purpose.

A water softener converts hard water, through ion exchange, into soft water. Soft water is mainly used in closed piping systems, such as heating and air-conditioning systems, to inhibit the formation of scale. Hard water, or simply tap water, is not to be confused with heavy water, which is mainly used in nuclear reactors!

Softnesting

The act of leaving a game open, with your in-game character in a cozy or atmospheric virtual world, usually idle or semi-idle, while your main focus is on other digital tasks — such as chatting, watching videos, or browsing — across different screens.

Commonly done with two or more monitors, softnesting creates a chill digital sanctuary without fully engaging with the game itself. You’re there, but your attention is drifting — multitasking in comfort.

"She was softnesting by the fire in-game while watching YouTube and chatting on the side."

The water that hardens the egg softens the potato is a Russian saying that means everyone reacts to stressful circumstances differently. It is often used in the context of trauma.

"Rachel's mom just died and a week later she's back to school. Meanwhile, I'm strugling to get out of bed, just because my hamster died. I feel so shitty."

"Dude, don't beat yourself up about it. The water that hardens the egg softens the potato. "
