    Ya know, I debated rounding the conversion. Figured someone would “ackshually” it. So I rounded it to two places and someone still complained. Can’t win. It’s a meme. Chill out.

      By the way, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter does not weigh 14.79 grams. 1 US tablespoon is a unit of volume that’s equal to 14.79 milliliters(mils). Grams are a unit of mass. In order to convert between them we need the density. Because the metric system is great, the density of water is 1g/mil, so 1 US tablespoon of water weighs exactly 14.79 mils. However the density of peanut butter is a bit higher, so the US tablespoon of peanut butter will weigh a bit more.

      Additional pedantry, yes I did have to write US tablespoon every time. A US tablespoon is 14.79mils, a metric tablespoon is 15mils, a traditional Australian tablespoon was 20mils although now they mostly use metric tablespoons.

      I am really chill, just smoked a 0.5g (or 1/56 oz).

      (I know it’s a meme, I wasn’t trying to make something else out of it, sorry if it came out that way)
