Are we talking metric cups (250ml per cup), or Imperial (USA) cups (240ml)?
While the differences are miniscule, they can affect things drastically the larger the quantities.
The ejaculate sizes are as follows:
- Imperial / Metric
- 30 / 31.25ml
- 60 / 62.5ml
- 120 / 125ml
- 240 / 250ml
Not included, but "1 gallon"
- 3785.41 / 4731.76ml
I bring this up, because if this is some ancient system, it should have some "standards"
For other examples, "1 Billion"
US: 1,000,000,000 (called a "milliard" in other languages, or "one thousand, millions)
UK: 1,000,000,000,000 (Known as the "British billion")
US inch: 25.4000508 mm UK inch: 25.399977 mm
I know that these differences are very miniscule, but I also know that you like to go into detail on the world building. --MrPib (talk) 00:14, 4 December 2022 (CET)
