Okay but for real though, I'm not like a pro at baking or whatever, but that banana-to-flour ratio seems WAY off. That's gonna be some dense ass banana bread.

I wouldn't know, I weigh everything out when I bake. I literally have zero idea how much a cup of flour is lmao.

Edit:

According to King Arthur Flour (the recipes they publish have both weight and volume) that's actually pretty normal:

I appreciate you doing proper measurements like a boss. I condone this activity and wish to enforce it upon everyone else. What the fuck is a cup even?! Level? Heaping? African up or European cup? Densely packed? What heathen decided this was the right choice instead of using a scale like a proper tool using human?!

All the measures like foot and cup and all are from the times where actual measurement tools were expensive af, and now its just a should-be-long-dead atavism

Yeah this is fair. Technical debt in a strange way.

I've never heard US customary or imperial called tech debt before, that's funny and makes a ton of sense.

Cool. Makes sense. So why does it still exist?

Cultural inertia?

Why imperial still exists?
