I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    It depends on the angle. There are definitely times you can see someone/something but they can’t see you.

        The reflection is only bidirectional if you can see the other person’s eyes.

        It’s like if someone is in a bathroom stall. You could see the stall is occupied by seeing their feet stick below the wall of the stall, but they cannot necessarily see any part of you since their eyes are not where their feet are.

        Same principle applies to reflections, where maybe the body part that you can see is just the top of the head, and since the person isn’t tall enough they can’t see that you can see them.

          Even when you can see their eyes that isn’t always the case. It depends on how sharp the angle is and where you and they are relatively speaking. You can definitely see their eyes without them seeing you.
