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!

    You can see other people in a reflection without them being able to see you.

    It is not possible to see someone else’s eyes (except from the side, so it’s only seeing their eyes in profile) in a reflection without them being able to see you too.

    It’s literally not possible via reflection, as everything is equal and opposite. If light can go from their eyes to yours, it’s also possible to go the opposite direction.

    This is what everyone has been saying but instead of thinking through everything clearly, you resorted to bullying.

    The only way to accomplish this one-way vision is by adding something that is not reflection to the system (like a one-way window), but that’s breaking the premise under which everyone else has been commenting in good faith.

      I didn’t bully anyone and I tried my best to avoid going down the rabbit hole of nuance that is seeing the whites or sides of someone’s eyes.

      You lot are turning lemmy into reddit. You’re bringing in the pedantic bullshit by people who don’t know what they don’t know. I guess I’ll go back to being a passive reader because you folks just can’t handle real conversations. I really wish I could find some place online without people who see being told they are wrong as bullying or being attacked. You folks are who the maggats are talking about when they call people snowflakes. Sometimes words are just words and the only meaning behind them is the actual dictionary definition.

      I’ll add you to the list of people who think they know more than they do and I’ll bid you adeu.

        Dude, calm down. It’s just a discussion. Just give us an example of how I could see somebody’s eyes in a mirror without them seeing my eyes and we’ll all be amazed at how you were right all along.
