minus-squareBedSharkPallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up69·edit-21 year agoThe fact that 98.7 percent of over 100k people could agree on anything is amazing to me.
minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up33·1 year agoLook, when someone asks “How many teaspoons in a quart?” we all want to jump off a fucking bridge.
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·1 year ago3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. 16 tablespoons in a cup 4 cups in a quart. 3x16x4=192 teaspoons in a quart.
minus-squareSubstance_P@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 year agoIs that a metric or imperial cup and teaspoon?
minus-squareharmsy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoIt’s Murrikan cup and teaspoon.
minus-squarexor@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoAh right, quick adjustments needed then, one UK cup is 25/24ths of a US cup, and a UK teaspoon is 0.986 US ones Simple 👍
minus-squareBastingChemina@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoExcept if it’s Maple syrup, in this case the cup is probably a Canadian cup. One Canadian cup is 0.96076 US cup. Imperial is great !
