Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

So the legal requirement in Canada is not an actual pint?
It's a pint. Just not a US pint.
Is this some imperial joke I'm too metric to understand?
Imperial pints are standardized as 20fl.oz. But the US uses cups to measure pints instead of fluid ounces. In the US each pint is 2 cups, and each cup is 8fl.oz. So in the US, a pint is actually 4fl.oz smaller, because it’s measured in cups instead of fl.oz.
You're in a band?
An imperial pint is 20 fl oz, a US pint is 16 fl oz.
If they can't even do the stupid units right then it's no wonder they don't like the sensible ones!
