What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong? - eviltoast

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

    I used to use the sun.

    Then I had a car compass for a while.

    But, honestly, everyone’s got a GPS-enabled cell phone these days, and unless you’re worried about running out of charge, that pretty much beats the pants off anything else.

    EDIT: And if you’re in an operable car, then you, in all likelihood, have a source of electricity in the form of the cigarette lighter.

      You at least know how to use the sun. There are many who have never bothered to learn.
