OT: Help settle an argument about measurements
Posted on 7/16/19 at 11:09 pm

So in the kitchen with the SO, and I ask her to measure me out 12 oz of egg whites in a measuring cup. She then puts it on a food scale and weighs it to 12oz. I asked her what she is doing. She said making sure its 12oz in case the cup is wrong. I said thats not how it works, specific gravity etc. Anyway, basically she thinks that if you put 12oz of any liquid in a measuring cup, that it will weigh the same (on a food scale) as 12oz of any other liquid

Did you lecture her on the difference between mass and volume?
Posted on 7/16/19 at 11:12 pm to WaydownSouth
That’s what you get for using the dumbass metric system.
Posted on 7/16/19 at 11:13 pm to WaydownSouth
I’m gonna say she’s right!!! Just to keep the argument going.

Weight != volume
Though in fairness, the fact that we use ounces for both wasn’t exactly well thought out.

Well... one is a volume and one is a weight.

This thread is fricking pathetic.

consider it a compliment. She was smart enough to marry a genius.

I hope your girl has better measurements than her kitchen abilities. Need pics.

Depends on if you're referring to weight or volume
To be honest I'm having a tough time telling who is the stupid one here
Sounds like it's you though. I would think of ounces in terms of weight.

Ounces aren't part of the metric system

Right. If he wanted 12 fluid ounces he should have said that
If he just said 12 ounces I would assume he is talking about weight and not volume

ask her how many miles you'll go in a hour driving 60 mph
