Mass, not weight! Only because we're being technical already.

Grams are a measure of mass or weight. I assume we're talking about measuring this flour here on planet earth, within the effects of its gravitational field lol

At what elevation and where in Earth? 🤔 Again, only being this technical because that's the tone. Not being pedantic.

The variance involved in converting cups of flour to grams is much greater than any gravitational variances caused by elevation or location. So that's sort of irrelevant here.

Oh, I disagree, on goofy technical posts like this is exactly the place to worry about it. The comic is about asking for an amount of bytes of flour and you're upset I'm making a joke about mass and weight being different?

Lmao I'm not upset dawg, just matching your nitpicks with more nitpicks
