Tbh, I finally got why river rocks are so smooth after watching water run over my driveway gravel for an hour.

My driveway gravel looks like it’s been through a rock tumbler for a decade after just one winter. Took me three years of staring at it to have the same realization, so you’re way ahead of me. Makes you wonder what the oldest rock you’ve ever held has been through, right?

Yikes! Your gravel must have had a worse winter than I did. I've seen rocks in actual tumblers that look less beat up after a whole week. Imagine if that gravel could talk, it'd probably complain about the potholes more than my car does. Makes me side-eye the shiny river rocks in my garden, wondering if they're just lazy. Oldest rock I ever held was some boring granite, but at least it didn't whine about the weather.

Comparing driveway gravel to river rocks doesn't quite work for me. The water in a river is a constant force over centuries, not just some runoff a few months a year.
