Smartest person in Florida.
They self-actualized upon leaving the state. I’m telling you, that place is contaminated.
One big SCP containment zone. But it’s leaking too much and fucking up the whole country.
Fun fact: D-class personnel are sourced predominantly from Florida

As always, just a great unit of measure.
- Is called “fluid weight”, but is actually a unit of volume. All liquids have the same density right?
- An “imperial fl.oz.” is ~28.41mL
- A “US customary fl.oz.” is ~29.57mL
- A “US food labeling fl.oz.” is 30mL
Also found out that you have “liquid pints” and “dry pints” as well, for some reason.
Teaspoons and tablespoons do the same thing. A US customary teaspoon (found very often in cooking recipes, a set of measuring spoons is extremely basic kit in an American kitchen) is something like 4.98mL, a tablespoon is 3 teaspoons. So you’ll find a lot of products especially medicines and such diluted for dosing at 5 and 15mL, to be extremely close to a tea- or tablespoon. Because if you need to give your child a dose of dimetapp at 3 in the morning and don’t have the little measuring cup that those come with, you’ve got your kitchen measuring spoons.
A fluid ounce is two tablespoons.
Maybe there are stupid questions. :P
No; stupid questions!
Oh! They got this all screwed up.

Every time I see “NSFW” my brain goes “New South Fucking Wales”. Help.
That could be an ad campaign for NSW, genius
National Science Foundation, Wow
Americans will go so far that one day they will come back to the metric system
The Florida Oblast should be proud of their high school graduates and education system.
Are you saying they aren’t?
You can’t convert them. Fluid ounces are volume. Regular ounces are weight (which isn’t quite the same as mass, though they’re used interchangeably on earth).
1 fl oz = 1 oz when the substance is water (at slightly above freezing). Any other substance would involve a specific mass factor.
Damn, I’m old enough to remember this post the first time it happened on Reddit. I laughed about this poor fool all day. Good times.
It’s how you measure your Kentucky Jelly.
Also everytime I see “lbs” I will always read it as “L B S” separately by default. I forget how did libera become pound.
I read it as “lubs”
I read it as ullbs. leading shwa sound, like “bulbs” without the b.
It’s not Florida Australia?
What is this front-end?
Acthually, all Florida ounces have an extra two grams in them as ordered by Desantis. It is called the “dealer’s ounce” and they throw a little extra in to show you they care.
