I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same as one of the actual 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!

    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…

      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.

        You at least know how to use the sun. There are many who have never bothered to learn.

      Technically, you could say we’re the ones who set since it’s the Earth’s rotation causing the change.
