>look up recipe
>it's all in retard units like quarts and ounces

[Anonymous No.15410019]

>Retard does not know both

Pathetic

[Anonymous No.15410053]

Never knew what "500cc" on the back of ramen packages meant so I would just use whatever amount seemed reasonable, turns out cc is equal to ml

[Anonymous No.15410072]

>>15410019
yeah because one is round and the other is in fractions

[Anonymous No.15410114]

>>15410072
Do you have a point?

[Anonymous No.15410121]

fucking yuropoors. enjoy paying 66% tax for getting FUCKED in your boy bussy

[Anonymous No.15410127]

But you know it'll taste good.

>66% tax
The Mutt fantasy. It's real!

[Anonymous No.15410161]

gallon = 4l
quart = 1l
pinte = 0.5l
cup = 250 ml
but onces are the ÷ of measuring units

[Anonymous No.15411571]

>>15410161
Am I retarded if I just noticed that "quart" stood for "quarter gallon"?

[Anonymous No.15411626]

>>15409959
Oh no conversion tables aren't available instantly through the series of tubes called the internet. How will we ever recover.

[Anonymous No.15411650]

>>15409959
Basing measurement on arbitrary units of 1000, not on universal constants like light speed and solar mass.

Discarded.

Speed of light is most commonly reported in meters and pretty much every other constant in derived using metric units

[Anonymous No.15411682]

>>15411571
Literaly yes, but actually no. You're a normal not-paying-attention-guy.

[Anonymous No.15411691]

>>15411681
Ah yes, the nice round 299792458 metres per second standard of metric, clearly a system that fits well into the actual constants of the universe and not an arbitrary choice.

>>15411650
using 1kg is perfect for baker's percentages though. no one measures flour in moles.

[Anonymous No.15411715]

>>15411681
Speed of light is a function of time. Mass is a function of atomic density. AUs are infinitely better measurements than fractions of a thousand.

[Anonymous No.15411736]

>>15410161
I really hate the fact that ounces are used to represent mass, weight, and volume. shit makes no sense whatsoever

[Anonymous No.15411744]

>>15409959
how much shit are you making that requires a quart of anything

[Anonymous No.15411749]

>>15411681
That's an interesting one.
A second is n shakes of an atom, a meter is the distance light goes in q seconds, and an inch is p meters.
So, an inch is the distance light travels in qn/p shakes of the atom.
Thus, the inch is defined by universal constants, even if its written definition mentions meters along the way.

[Anonymous No.15411755]

Measuring shit in cups is the dumbest fucking thing.

[Anonymous No.15411762]

>>15411736
They're not for mass and weight separately, only mass on earth.
Volume is fl-oz.

[Anonymous No.15411781]

>>15411755
A cup is pint/2 = gal/8 = 8fl-oz.

[Anonymous No.15411783]

friendly reminder that customary units are based on metric.

[Anonymous No.15411797]

>>15411783
They're older than metrics, so that's retarded, and if you're talking about formal definitions, I already answered that.>>15411749

STFU poor yank

I've actually got a 100+ year old cookbook and it has conversion tables in it but at the same time recipes say stuff like "make béarnaise" or "serve with hollandaise" and the book doesn't have the recipes for most french sauces. it's funny that there's a conversion table but they expect people to already know the basics.

[Anonymous No.15411813]

>>15411762
until I see a cookbook for cooking things on other planets, I think it's safe to assume they mean earth ounces

>only nords, germs, and anglos above us
Thank you for showing this. Constructive criticism among friends is valuable.

>only nords, germs, and anglos above us
only Germanics aka the only white people

[Anonymous No.15411840]

That's what I meant. There's no need to be confused about 3 things, when you could just be confused about 2 things.

[Anonymous No.15411847]

>>15411840
I'm not confused by it, just by the decision to use the same word for different things

[Anonymous No.15411854]

I'm trans btw. If that matters

[Anonymous No.15411874]

it does. We care about you. Don'tet society tell you to conform to rigid gender stereotypes. You are whole just the way God made you: a healthy cis person with unique masculine and feminine qualities.
