The fuck is a fluid ounce?

1/8th of a cup

Ounces that are wet.

Damn liberals and their woke-genderized measurements smh

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

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

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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 1 points 3 months ago

So fluid ounces are just metric with extra steps :/

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Common mistake. Its actually Florida ounces.

This cannot be a real question.

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?
