The fuck is a fluid ounce?

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 13 points 7 months ago

Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.

Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh

Fluid ounce is volume, ounce is weight. Liters vs grams.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Almost identical, my understanding is it’s slightly off since it’s such an old measurement. But for everyday purposes it’s the same.

So fluid ounces are just metric with extra steps :/
