WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 1 FLUID OUNCE OF WATER DOESNT WEIGH 1 OUNCE

America are you OK over there???

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A FLUID OUNCE IS DIFFERENT IN THE US AND UK

AND THEN THE US HAS A THIRD DIFFERENT FLUID OUNCE

@daisy the US has two slightly different versions of basically every imperial unit, it's hilarious. See e.g. International foot vs survey foot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_(unit)
Foot (unit) - Wikipedia

At least the US foot in common use matches the UK foot I guess?

@chaucerburnt @Reynardo oh it’s over 3cm, whoa

chunky inch
