Seriously I thought I could get a simple explanation but when I Google it it’s all diagrams and detailed terminology

Answer:
Bolts are screws with a nut.
Rivets deform to expand larger than the hole.
There are various types of each, the simplest rivets are just a piece of soft wire or bar that you hammer to mushroom it out. More common are pop rivets, where you pull a pin through a sleeve, and the head on the pin mushrooms out the back side of the rivet.
In: Engineering
Bolt had threads and can be reused
Rivets can’t be reused and are flattened out in on itself
