To add insult to injury, a US cup is 236.6 millilitres, while a UK (imperial) cup is 170.48 millilitres. Not even close. There’s a whole lot of other measurements called “cup” too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_(unit)

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 weeks agoIt should be the imperial unit “cup” i fucking hate imperial…also, it’s annoying in this case because you have to guess that it’s the imperial unit and not a random cup

Nobody has ever read cooking instruction and thought “they mean for me to measure this with a mug from my cabinet” lol
Codpiece@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
No, but they’ve probably thought “what fucking size cup do these twats mean and why can’t they just put an actual measurement”.

I’ll take your word for it. All of my measuring tools have cups on one side and mL on the other. Git gud scrub

Often, people look to the internet to learn things. Given that circu.stance, they may not have that foundational knowledge. So how are those scrubs supposed to git gud?

Yeah if only there weren’t a dozen different international definitions of cup ranging from 100ml to 250ml

I like how you just pulled that sentence out of context from the description for ONE country and ignored the dozen other countries with different measurements.
