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

Technically, you could say we're the ones who set since it's the Earth's rotation causing the change.

Idk, it's all relative.

I know right! Whenever I do the mnemonic of NESW, North is always directly in front of me. Dont know why people bother with compasses, it’s pretty simple.

Don't worry, daughter, I know we're going south because I set in the same location I was already in.
