      The mano-digital system is clearly superior.

      Does your metric system tell you how many fingernails are in a pint? Didn’t think so!

      Go eat some more cheese and ride a reasonably priced train, euro-snob.

    I find this guide so confusing that I doublechecked if this was a shitposting community.

    These amounts only hold for certain things, a palm sized slab of meat, a fist sized serving of casserole, a cupped hand of pudding. You know, normal, helpful ways of measuring.

    If the entire guide was that right hand panel with the silhouttes and the actual information, it would at least be clear that they weren’t saying you can fit more in a closed fist than an open palm, they’re just encouraging you to eat pretzels out of your cupped hands like you’re feeding yourself at a petting zoo.

      I measure when home cooking too, but I find this is helpful for eyeballing amounts when eating out

    Hello. I put one cup in my partner, and now it’s stuck. What do I do?

    I see “helping hands,” and the first thing I think of is the scene from Labyrinth.

    2 hands = 1 ounce*, 1 hand = 3-4 ounces

    *Ooh, you forgot to scrunch your hands for accuracy

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

  • Direct Image Links Only Only direct links to .png, .jpg, and .jpeg image formats are permitted.

  • Educational Infographics Only Infographics must aim to educate and inform with structured content. Purely narrative or non-informative infographics may be removed.

  • Serious Guides Only Nonserious or comedy-based guides will be removed.

  • No Harmful Content Guides promoting dangerous or harmful activities/materials will be removed. This includes content intended to cause harm to others.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!
