I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    Mum: we’re definitely going the wrong way

    Me: how do you know?

    Mum: because we need to go south and we are currently going north

    Me: how do you know we are going north?

    Mum: because the sun sets in the west

    Me: oh…

      Technically, you could say we’re the ones who set since it’s the Earth’s rotation causing the change.

      I always use Never Ear Shredded Wheat to remember the directions.

      As for which way the sun sets, I remember a quite from either Shanghai Noon/Knights in which Owen Wilson’s character talks about how the sun rises in Japan however it sets in the West.
