  No, but they’ve probably thought “what fucking size cup do these twats mean and why can’t they just put an actual measurement”.

      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

    However, in modern recipes, the US legal cup of 240 ml (about 8.45 British imperial fluid ounces or 8.12 US customary fluid ounces) is more commonly used.

      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.

        …
        You literally pulled up a cherry picked list of where there are discrepancies. You’re allowed to and im not?

        Also, would you look at that: almost all of them have converged to US customary or 250mL, which is within the tolerance for error.
