This is a fascinating and relatively well-studied phenomenon that has been reproduced in many kinds of virtual spaces! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doorway...

I like to imagine your recipes have cup as the smallest unit. Cake for giants!

(This was also my opinion of the new Dune movies)
annethegnome.bsky.social
ALSO upon further consideration, I think it’s a bit of intertwined tales of Prometheus and Genesis, and that’s neat. And if they recut the movie without the dialogue, it would be excellent.
annethegnome.bsky.social
I actually liked the movie. If you can stand the Disney Dialogue, it has some good ideas and the visuals are incredible. And the music. Again, the music 🤌

My suspension of disbelief ends at all this free-flowing traffic in downtown Vancouver

Okokok so Eve is guarding her forbidden knowledge from Satan who is all red. Satan makes a monster to hunt her, but the monster LITERALLY FINDS GOD who is Jeff Bridges in cleric robes. And Satan is banished to hell. Did I get it? All the other references are just the effect of writing by committee.

NIN soundtrack fucked, tho.
annethegnome.bsky.social
You're telling me Eve has some forbidden knowledge they use to grow a magic fruit tree and actually that‘s fine. Shes not like other billionaires. It’s the pagan gods who are are evil. Except for the one who’s Frankenstein’s monster and also Jesus?

I just saw the new Tron movie and I’m so confused. I guess, minor spoilers?

IM LOSING MY MIND you mean theyre not even imperial??? They’re just a completely different unique system that uses all the same words, for FUN!??

In the USA a fluid ounce is 29.573 mL and a pint is 16 fl. oz. or 473.176 mL. An Imperial ounce is 28.423 mL but the Imperial pint is 20 fl. oz. making it 568.261 mL or roughly 20% more.
annethegnome.bsky.social
Honestly I’d prefer that. Don’t call it the same thing if it’s a different thing!
annethegnome.bsky.social
WAIT I THOUGHT THEY WERE IMPERIAL?!?

All other measuring cups I have are metric.
annethegnome.bsky.social
Food processor and blender measurements are american cups too.
annethegnome.bsky.social
Ha. Ha. Ha.

Turns out a lot of kitchen devices and material in Canada come from the US.
Plastic measuring cup, ml unspecified Glass measuring cup (for liquid), 1 cup is 250ml Metal measuring cup, scoop style. 1 cup is 237 ml

A Canadian pint is just a vibe — could be either
annethegnome.bsky.social
One day the US will adopt metric but they’re gonna be like “oh this is an AMERICAN gram” and it’s 1.776g
annethegnome.bsky.social
What do you MEAN a cup is 250ml but an American cup is 236.588ml?! So when I use my scoop to measure an American recipe it’s WRONG even though I’m adding 1 cup?!
annethegnome.bsky.social
I’m talking about these things — a teaspoon isn’t the actual size of a teaspoon, a cup isn’t the size of a cup, and I wish everyone would just use ml or g
Plastic measuring cup (scoop)
annethegnome.bsky.social
And recipes are never labelled as American!!! AHHHHHHHHHH
annethegnome.bsky.social
No recipe has ever specified “US cup” — many say 1 cup (250ml) and some just say 1 cup which I guess means 236.588ml?!??!

I just learned about metric vs imperial cups, and I’m livid.

Looking for a #horror tale to get you into that autumnal mood?

Wayward Autumnal is a sylvan horror of feminine monstrosity. A dark fairy tale in a lush, twisted wood 🍂

It's completely improvised using Under the Autumn Strangely. It's an audio story, but I put my whole ass into the visuals. ENJOY!

This just makes me think really hard of the Wayward Autumnal AP (put on by @annethegnome.bsky.social, game by @thismaybegraham.bsky.social), which I really need to dig into and finish this season
