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

Rhode Island isn't really an island. Like, yeah it's named after one of its islands, but people who live in the state are on the continental part. I thought the whole state was an island lmao
California also isn't an island, but it's named after a fictional island in a Spanish novel, and was once thought to be an island.
I used to think it was named after Calphurnia from Julius Caesar when we read that in class. I literally pronounced her name as "Ka-la-fern-ee-uhh", fuck
The name comes from cal- meaning hot, and forni- meaning sex, from which we get the English word fornication.
Therefore California means “land of hot sex”
I'm about to start parroting this around, and I don't even care if it's true or not
Shoulda named it Caliphygia ;)
Why are their schollars so sought after?
