The fuck is a fluid ounce?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Ah wonderful, so I'm sure one fluid ounce of water weighs precisely one ounce weight wise?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 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.

People drink 64oz of that stuff in a day like it's nothing lol

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's a standard sized drink can in pretty much all of North America. Anything smaller is rare/unusual (though occasionally available).
