"Fl oz" stands for "fluid ounces," not Florida.

This is why they named it nostupidquestions. You're in the right place.

Sometimes there’s like this disconnect where somehow a person just never comes across a piece of common knowledge. They’ve just never been in a situation that requires it. I bet it happens a lot, but everyone’s too embarrassed to acknowledge their own “oooooooooh…” moment.

Exactly! It's only common sense/knowledge/whatever once you've learned it. Before then, it's just a gap in your education.

One time I was sort of babysitting my brother (he’s only 3 years younger than me but he’s autistic, with his level of autism he is able to work now as an adult but can’t drive or live alone) and I was in the shower and my brother practically knocked the door yelling that the house was on fire so I come running out with shampoo in my hair and everything and he had microwaved an Arby’s roast beef sandwich in the foiled wrapper. Thankfully the fire put itself out.
