The fuck is a fluid ounce?

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 months ago

Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.

[-] UraniumForBreakfast@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago

Ounces that are wet.

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

[-] jcg@halubilo.social 4 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Catoblepas 6 points 2 months ago

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

[-] Manticore@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

So fluid ounces are just metric with extra steps :/

Because everyone on Reddit is American? Or that the entire planet is supposed to understand nuanced differences between ounces and fluid ounces that only... what, 3 countries on the planet use?

Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh
