        I also use metric. I eat whale. Last time I checked, a 300g whale burger isn’t vegan, gun monkey!

          You sicko! Are you a whale hunter or just a whale enjoyer? What does it taste like? I’m guessing sea pork.

    This is very confusing. I assumed at first that a gallon was 4 quarts + 8 pints + 16 cups, a weird way to write 8 quarts… Because a quart in my interpretation is 2 pints + 4 cups = 8 cups. I mean the diagram does show the gallon containing all of them.

    Unless it’s butane. Butane is lighter fluid.

    But most actual cups are 200ml, whereas a pint is 470ml. So if you use a real cup as a measuring tool you are short on the pint.

      A cup is 236 ml. I was always taught 240 ml but google converts to 236.

        Thanks for proving how stupid of a measurement a “cup” is

          I’m also confused by this 473 ml pint, is that some American thing? I always thought pints were 568 ml… as in pint of beer.

            Imperial (used in the British Empire) vs US customary. The imperial fluid gallon (4.54609 L exactly) was never historically defined in terms of another unit while the US fluid gallon was defined as 231 cubic inches (3.785411784 L exactly). A pint is defined as 1/16 of a gallon in each system, but they can’t agree on how many ounces are in a pint (16 for US, 20 for imperial). Note that there are also imperial and US customary dry gallons and thus imperial and US customary dry pints…

              That adds a hilarious new dimension to how shitty the Imperial system is because I had no idea that different countries would just define their own versions of the measurements.

    Here’s a handy guide to SE:

    1 liter = 10 deciliter

    1 deciliter = 10 centiliter

    1 centiliter = 10 milliliter

    I live in a country where these measurements aren’t used, so without any background knowledge I interpreted the comma as “and” at first. Looking at the picture, I’m pretty sure it’s meant to be “or” instead, in which case they should have used a slash instead of a comma imo.
