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

Meh, I'd rather it be little more than passable, so its not addictive and I don't get fat and also corralled into cooking for anybody else unless I want to ;)

Yup, you're right. I wouldn't want to end up fat like Gordon Ramsay either.

In case anyone wants to see the unedited retorts from this chucklefuck:

Ahh, internet. Never change

I'm too tired to destroy you haha, lets be more transient on this line of inquiry;)

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You're right. Truce. I really shouldn't be facing off in a battle of wits against the unarmed anyway.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the 1/2-baked retort, ch[i]ef 🤣

Nice edit there, che[i]ef
