How many sugar cubes of plastic just to rough one up a bit?

I know a guy who can put you face to beak with a puffin for a 12 pack

Anything but the metric system

One sugar cube’s worth of plastic is enough to kill a human.

It all depends on where you put it.

And how fast you put it there

Metric or US standard sugar cubes?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 1 week ago

Pretty sure they only use US standard sugar cubes to measure peanut oil. Sugar is measured in US standard table tennis balls of volume.

How much plastic is in a sugar cube, and am I paying extra for it??

How many football fields is that?

Great to see all the jokes about the measuring system used.
