Last Tuesday I’m scrolling Amazon looking at bookcases. Found this perfect one – dark wood, four shelves, exactly what I needed. Description says “40 inches tall.” Stared at my laptop screen. How tall is 40 inches? Like, actually? Is that short? Tall? Medium? Could be a stepstool or could be a refrigerator for all I … Read more
So here’s what happened. I was trying to buy a ring online for my girlfriend’s birthday. The website said “2 cm diameter.” I stared at my screen for like five minutes trying to picture how big is 2 cm. Is that tiny? Medium? Could’ve been anything for all I knew. Ended up buying the wrong … Read more
Three weeks ago, hosting Thanksgiving at my place for the first time. Twenty people coming over. I’m standing in my kitchen at 6 AM staring at my coffee maker like it personally offended me. Got this 12-cup Mr. Coffee my mom gave me years ago. Used it maybe ten times total. Always just made enough … Read more
Last month, I’m scrolling through Marketplace trying to buy a used gym setup, and this guy’s selling a complete weight set. Listed as “500 kg of plates and equipment – great deal!” I’m sitting there thinking, okay cool, but how much is that actually? I’m American. I think in pounds. Always have. Kilograms might as … Read more
Last Tuesday, I’m in the kitchen filling up a water bottle, and my 10-year-old walks in and asks, “Dad, how heavy is that?” I look at the bottle – says one liter on it – and I’m like, “Uh… a liter?” He gives me this look. “That’s not a weight, that’s how much it holds.” … Read more
You know what’s weird? I’ve been playing baseball since I was eight years old, and I never actually thought about the weight of a baseball until my nephew asked me last week. He just grabbed one from my garage and said, “Uncle, this feels heavy. How much does this thing weigh anyway?” And honestly? I … Read more
Last month, my neighbor’s kid asked me how much is 700,000 pennies after his grandfather left him a massive collection. The kid thought he’d hit the jackpot. What followed was a weekend of counting, sorting, and learning way more about pennies than either of us wanted to know. How Much Is 700,000 Pennies Worth? Let’s … Read more
Last Tuesday I’m in my kitchen staring at a recipe that says “16 oz chicken broth” and I’m holding this can wondering if this is it or not. Spent like five minutes googling on my phone. Turns out most people have no idea how much is 16 oz actually is, and honestly? Nobody teaches us … Read more
Someone mentions 10 inches and your brain just goes blank, right? You’re standing there nodding like you totally get it, but inside you’re thinking “okay but HOW big though?” Been there. Done that. And honestly, it’s annoying because 10 inches pops up everywhere – shopping sites, recipe books, that IKEA furniture you’re trying to assemble … Read more
You’re standing in the hardware store, staring at screws. The package says “3 inches” but your brain just goes blank. Or maybe you’re scrolling through Amazon at 2 AM, looking at a decorative thing for your shelf, and the description mentions it’s 3 inches wide. Cool. But what does that even mean? I’ve been in … Read more
