Thanks copilot!

They wasted so much electricity coming up with that nonsense when they could have just said it's FLUID and maybe directed you to some kind of remedial education center.
-
Hey, that's my doctor

-
This confused the fuck out of my metric brain.
-
Fl oz. It’s not Florida, but fluid.
-
TBF most of Florida is
-
-
No, that's easy, 10 fl oz is equal to 3 psm (3 pissing marmots). And 100 fl oz is equal to 1 hesh itm (1 horny elephant shit in the morning).
-
Yea, it confused me for a bit too long, as someone outside the US.
-
-
We call them "Flounces" actually.
-
I've chosen to read it as "fluid ounces" for years, never once questioning "how is a fluid ounce different from a regular one?".
-
Fluid ounce is a measure of volume (8 fluid ounces per cup) ounces is a unit of weight (16 ounces per pound)
-
It's the Murikan way to copy milliliters, which are the same as cubic centimeters volumetrically.
Fluid ounces are cubic nurples.
-
By pure coincidence, you've chosen to read it the exact way it's meant to be read.

If you only see the abbreviation fl oz and happen to live in Florida, I can see making the connection. People don't talk about ounces being both a volume (fl oz) and weight (oz) measurement. Go metric and you don't have to know!
-
1 Florida Ounce is how much meth 1 Florida Man smokes before making 1 headline.
-
Subreddit is wrong, there are stupid questions.
-
I know it means "fluid ounces" but every single time I see it my brain says "floral ounces".
-
I just read it floz. Doesn't mean anything to my European ass, anyway.
2 flozes? Sure. Might as well be that.
-
My French brain reads that as "Eiffel Oz" (like the wizard of Oz and the Eiffel tower).
-
Whoa mine does too I wonder why that is? What an odd assumption for a brain to make
-
My theory is something like fluid -> fluoride -> floral but who knows
-
-
-
With the metric system, this would not be an issue.
-
I wonder if they like putting Kentucky Jelly on their toast.
-
When I was growing up in FL it was 'five fingers', but later was standardized to 28.35g.
-
That took me too long
-
That, in a nutshell, is a good indirect explanation for you if you're still unsure how it could happen that Trump got elected for a second term.
-
Growing up in Miami, I made that mistake too.
.... When I was six.
-
Oh grow up and use liters like normal people.
-
They're like regular ounces, just more irregular.
-
I was thinking this was going to be something like a logsday post but then I realized it was just as weid but different.
-
Sounds like something someone from Florida would say
