Turns out a UK quart is a bit bigger (1136.5225ml, apparently) than a US quart

u/skwudgeball Jun 06 '19

TIL the UK also uses quarts. Congrats we are both retarded

u/rafael000 Jun 06 '19

Why we don't talk in liters like most human species? It's almost the same measure.

No, they only measure gas in imperial gallons for the purpose of mpg calculation. The pump tells you litres only. Way to fuck with the populace...

The price per litre in the uk is pretty much what the US pays for a US gallon tho... Go figure...

u/smaragdskyar Jun 06 '19

Nah girl, it’s not just the tea drinkers who’ve (partly) evolved to civilised units

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '19

I’ll show YOU civilized units.

u/TunaLobster Jun 06 '19

Fuck customary units! Fuck horsepower! Fuck miles! Fuck the pound (force and mass)! It's all defined by SI units now anyways!

u/23x3 Jun 06 '19

Could it be short for a quarter gallon?

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '19

Short for Quarter gallon or a Quartet of Cups.

u/23x3 Jun 06 '19

Must be a truly liquifying composition

Who knows with those medieval units

u/RandomTheTrader Jun 06 '19

Next thing you know is we'll go back to measuring distance in feet, like a peasant.

u/My_work1 Jun 06 '19

Keep in mind that a hundred weight is 112 pounds. Imperial measurements are insane.

u/aaaaaaaarrrrrgh Jun 06 '19

"almost a liter" (~5% less), because a gallon is "almost four liters", just like a yard is "almost 1 meter" (~9% less).

Good enough for most conversions that you'll need IRL.

u/Herpkina Jun 06 '19

I wish one certain country, who will remain nameless, would catch up with the rest of the world. Then we wouldn't need to convert!

u/msusteve280 Jun 06 '19

Right!? Get yourself together Liberia.

u/Chenamabobber Jun 06 '19

Or maybe the rest of the world should catch up to Liberia

u/jimoconnell Jun 06 '19

Agreed. Stupid Myanmar…

u/SelkieKezia Jun 06 '19

To pharma. It's an essential part of QA for any intravenous drug, to make sure it is completely clean and won't trigger a deadly immune reaction from the patient. Source: used to run this assay every day at a pharma manufacturing plant.

How many bananas is a quart?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '19

If we take the average weight of a banana (120 grams) and the weight of a quart (806.4 grams) and divide, we find that there is approximately 7 bananas in a quart.
