It's the same way with lumber lol

A 2x4 is in fact not 2"x4"

Wait, what?

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah a typical 2x4 is actually 1.5"x3.5"

2x4 is (supposedly. I bet they have optimized this down too) the size of raw lumber before it was finished, that needs to remove some material off each side.
