…because the shape of the water bottle isn’t uniform either. Part of my new year’s resolution is to drink 4 liters of water per day, so I spend a lot of time looking at those lines. Edit: 4 liters is a lot, but appropriate for my size and activity level. Without conscious consideration I don’t drink enough water. It looks blue because the bottle is blue.
They aren’t?
One is 500 ml increments the other 16oz increments.
The distance between the markings gets wider the higher it goes. But that’s becsuse it’s not a perfect cylinder. The handle is making things weird.
Doesn’t that make the measurements uniform?
It depends on the units that you’re using.
They are a uniform volume apart but not a uniform length apart which is what I think is the mildly interesting part.
Well yes, but actually not what OP was referring to I believe.
The distance gets wider only for the handle section. Once the handle ends, the distance gets narrow again.
Yes the measurements are uniform, the interior volume isn’t.
