How they be feelin’!
The way they both agreed so fast is actually the scariest part of this
liters are a volume measurement, not weight. density is different so a liter of milk is heavier than a liter of water
Mass and volume are often confused, so just to remind everyone:
* Liters are a unit of volume
* Kilograms are a unit of mass
* 1kg of water occupies roughly 1 liter of volume at room temp.
* Milk is a bit more dense, so 1 liter of milk is around 1.03 kg
gergleball2 asked a valid question — the same amout of milk weighs more, although for most practical purposes it’s the same as water.
Litre measures volume not weight omg
Volume and mass are different things
Milk. The answer is milk.
A liter of water weighs 1kg by design. Milk is slightly heavier than water of the same volume, but for rounding purposes would still weigh roughly 1kg given the negligible difference.
Hol up, liters measure volume
This comment section is one big ragebait
How the fuck are the good comments downvoted and the normie explainthefuckingobvious comments are praised like are y’all braindead this is not facebook
What’s lighter? A liter of butane or a liter of water? The butane, it’s a lighter fluid
Thank you shayene121048
Clown to clown communication
I think milk is heavier because of higher density than water maybe? Not very smart to ask this question in a unit that measures volume instead of weight I guess
Ah, they both had a chance to spell litre right.
.
This never would’ve happened if they’d have measured it in gallons amirite or amirite!?

Which one is heavier? Milk or
Water? I know they’ll be pretty close, but one has to technically win.

One would WEIGH more than the other.
Liter is volume not mass, whichever liquid is denser would weight slightly more.
The weight would be negligible.
I just stepped on the scale and found out I weigh 80 liters. Should I be worried?
I want a goddamn liter of cola
This is actually a good question, because milk has at least 3% fat, usually, and fat floats on water (usually). Of course, milk has lactose and casein and other compounds, making it slightly denser and weighing more. But still, a good question.

But steel’s heavier than feathers.
Here’s my question, which is easier to lift a pound of feathers or a pound of steel?
Removed my thought on the amount of force required, still wondering if the difference in volume might change things
I’m just going to hope most of you have made a decision to exclude the /s from your comments and go about my business.
Litercola
But what’s heavier a ton of feathers or a ton of lead?
Why is everyone spelling litre incorrectly??
I guess milk have some extra proteins so will be heavier, the skinner milk the heavier. There could be very fat cream which is actually lighter.
It’s actually a valid question
Milk is slightly heavier, but you really need a very precise scale if you wanna measure that, or just basic logic, it contains dissolved solids like fats, proteins, and sugars that increase its density, whole milk being the heavier of milks. I do not wonder why they do not know chemistry or physics but to not even be capable of logical reasoning?!
Oh noooooo 😭
I mean… I’m sure specific gravity of milk is close but not 1.000
But at 1 atmosphere, wouldn’t the feathers displace more air, thus having more mass, while weighing the same?
