  • Trivializing is taking very real and major struggles that certain humans experience to much greater degree than others and pretending it has the same gravity as minor annoyances that a wide range of people experience.

    If your comment is a joke or otherwise intended to be lighthearted, I apologize, but people saying in earnest what you said is a pretty major pet peeve of mine.

    Real “Chronic depression doesn’t exist because everyone feels sad sometimes” energy.

    Wild, I didn’t know there was a different gallon measurement (There’s a few apparently).

    mostly unrelated, but after poking around on Wikipedia, I’ve also learned that there’s two different versions of fluid ounces (Edit: that are used actively in the US, forgot to add that), and both are used on food labels simultaneously, but relating to different things.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_ounce#Definitions_and_equivalences

    US food labeling fluid ounce

    For serving sizes on nutrition labels in the US, regulation 21 CFR §101.9(b) requires the use of “common household measures”, and 21 CFR §101.9(b)(5)(viii) defines a “common household” fluid ounce as exactly 30 milliliters. This applies to the serving size but not the package size, package sizes use the US customary fluid ounce.
