I was making salad dressing three weeks ago and my roommate asked me how much a tablespoon was in ml. I’m standing there with a spoon in my hand like… honestly no idea. Just grabbed a spoon and poured it. Worked fine. But that question bugged me for days. So I went down this rabbit … Read more
I was baking cookies last month and the recipe said “2 cups of flour.” I grabbed my measuring cup and filled it twice. But then I thought – what’s that actually weigh? Like, do I need to care? Looked it up and found different answers. Some websites said 240 grams. Some said 250. Some said … Read more
So I was at Home Depot three weeks ago buying fence stuff for my backyard. The dude helping me goes “yeah, you’re looking at about 20 feet of fencing for that side.” And I’m just standing there like… okay? Is that a lot? Am I gonna need a second trip or what? Drove me nuts … Read more
Standing in the middle of Target last week, staring at a shelf organizer. The label said “5 inches wide.” I pulled out my phone, tried to picture it, gave up, bought it anyway. Got home and the damn thing didn’t fit where I needed it. Classic mistake. This keeps happening to everyone. You’re scrolling through … Read more

My nephew asked me last weekend why Pringles come in that weird tube. He’s seven. I told him “I don’t know, buddy, that’s just how they do it.” But then I couldn’t stop thinking about it.

Started with a giant 64oz bottle someone at the gym had. Looked impressive. Made me feel like I was serious about hydration. Could barely fit it in … Read more
