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 started using Reddit when I was 13, I’m currently 24 so still a kid depending on who I ask.

    For years in early Reddit, it always felt like everyone on the site was just people browsing it in work, to the point where ‘summer reddit’ was a thing because the quality would drop when the kids weren’t in school. You could feel the difference in the website between work days and weekends.

    That’s exactly how Lemmy feels now. I bunch of people in their 20s and 30s who all have jobs Infront of a computer, sometimes I’m sad that this site isn’t filled with Gen Z because they are the critical generation. It’s much less progressive for the internet if this site is filled with old fogies nostalgic for the golden age of the internet, than it is if it’s equally filled with enthusiastic kids who never saw the unfiltered internet but want to ride the fediverse train regardless, because they believe in it.

    I hope everyone on Lemmy didn’t grow up with the old internet, because it means they believe in something they haven’t seen.

      The quality of discussion is terrible because there’s so many kids, and because Gen Z is just dumber than previous generations. So many stupid edgy hot takes with no actual analysis behind them. Gen Z is almost as bad about “feelings before facts” as boomers.

        Stop making stupid generalisations about generations like you’re some kind of enlightened genius. Kids are always stupid, old people are always stupid, everyone’s stupid, especially you!

          There’s a lot of good stuff happening with all , particularly young folks today in that its getting more in vogue to turn down the Old Deal that pushes all the hard work and suffering without all the ladders to the good stuff, which have been thoroughly pulled up.
