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
Mum: we’re definitely going the wrong way
Me: how do you know?
Mum: because we need to go south and we are currently going north
Me: how do you know we are going north?
Mum: because the sun sets in the west
Me: oh…
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.
I used to use the sun.
Then I had a car compass for a while.
But, honestly, everyone’s got a GPS-enabled cell phone these days, and unless you’re worried about running out of charge, that pretty much beats the pants off anything else.
EDIT: And if you’re in an operable car, then you, in all likelihood, have a source of electricity in the form of the cigarette lighter.
You at least know how to use the sun. There are many who have never bothered to learn.
🎶Certain as the sun/Rises in the East/Tale as old as tyme/Song as old as Rhyme/Beauty and the Beast/🎶
I always use Never Ear Shredded Wheat to remember the directions.
As for which way the sun sets, I remember a quite from either Shanghai Noon/Knights in which Owen Wilson’s character talks about how the sun rises in Japan however it sets in the West.
