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

    Well those wires that hold telephone poles and other such tall objects in position? those aren’t called “guide-wires.”

    They’re called “Guy wires.”

    I think that’s pretty dumb of everyone else tho
