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

      I appreciate you jumping to conclusions about my intelligence. Really points to the good faith of your comment. But despite your bad faith:

      Those conversions are readily available on Google. The point is not to have an exactly accurate conversion from volume to mass, but to have a consistent starting point to use from that point on. If you know how much of each ingredient was added by weight the last time you made something, it is easy to update ingredient amounts to make the recipe perfect.

      I know that’s a pretty simple concept, but I spelled it out for you since you don’t inspire much confidence in your critical thinking skills, ass.

          It’s always funny when people just go “haha wooow your so wrong lol… geez wow ur wrong lol” instead of actually responding to a comment.

          This guy said nothing rude, nothing controversial, just gave some cooking/ baking advice.

          You see they mistakenly said weight rather than mass (something that a ton of people do, all the time, while being entirely aware of the difference between the two) and tried to show off how smart you were by being a total dick for no reason.

          Then when the person actually responds to your comment, you try to puff your chest online one last time before shutting the fuck up and abandoning thread before you can make yourself look more of a semantics-jerking twit. Love it, keep up the energy king.

      someone that confuses weight and mass

      What, do you expect him to make his next batch of cookies on the moon?

        I bet when filling out medical forms they cross out “weight” and write a paragraph explaining to their medical professionals the difference between mass and weight.
