I get it I just think that barrels as an industry standard for units of measurement is really goofy and confusing. Especially when a beer, (American) whiskey, and oil barrel are all different volumes.

the alcohol products are stored in casks tho

well kegs for beer but whatever

In America, Canada, and the UK brewery size and output is measured in barrels (31 US gallons). So when I'm talking shop and asking how big someone's brewhouse (volume of single batch of beer) is I'll get it in barrels, not gallons. So a brewhouse isn't 310 gallons, it's 10 bbls, etc.

Whereas if you were producing bourbon, the volume of a barrel is 53 gallons. Crude oil is 42 US gallons or 35 imperial gallons. The volume of a wine barrel is 59 or 60 us gallons depending on region.

the name of the unit is the name of a container, is the joke.

Here is an additional layer of American English to consider as you decide whether to use y'all.

It is Southern American English, and it is also Black American English. Those accents grew up together, then Black American English migrated. So, in the South, or if you otherwise have a Southern accent, "y'all" fits. Otherwise, it can come off as if you are transplanting elements of Black American English into your vocabulary, which looks very tacky.

I like "y'all" too; it's been part of my vocabulary since childhood. I actually use it less now, because using my full accent in daily speech comes off like I am transplanting Black American English into my accent, in the place where I currently live.

for about twelve years of my childhood my mom and I lived with her ex (a black man) and his two children, I kinda just absorbed some parts of Black American English :shrug:

Idk what that means but if you come to great nation of australia and desire ice in your hotels then I suggest you prepare for disappointment

it's a ubiquitous (in the US) chain of motels and in my experience they have ice machines which dispense ice

What do Americans even do with the hotel ice?

when we go on a road trip we often have a cooler or two in the car, for food and drink, it needs to be kept cold with ice.

a mini fridge is way too small

and yeah people also use it to chill cham pag ney

what i'm getting out of this is that outside of the US people don't use ice and for them the thought of ice is confusing

I'm gonna hit this thread with some real talk and it's this: over this past weekend my mother in law informed us that she's looking into the healing properties of pinecones and that's something she just dropped like a fuckin anvil in the middle of whatever we were talking about

and I paused cause I was waiting for the punchline or maybe more and there was no more

and then everyone just resumed talking about whatever else

It was wild

i think that might be a defense mechanism
