A cup can refer to a variety of different measurements (see Cup (unit) - Wikipedia). The cup OP referenced is a metric cup, a US customary cup is 8 US fluid ounces. Measuring cups can come labelled using cups as a unit, usually including a whole cup, and that is presumably what OP was referring to.

To give a theological answer, no. A lich is usually understood as a sorcerer who has achieved an undead state or immortality, usually by binding their soul to the corporeal world in a phylactery. That does not apply in Jesus' case, since he did not pursue any sort of magic to avoid death, much less binding his soul to a phylactery. The resurrection of Jesus was a supernatural act of God, restoring Jesus to true life.
As to the second part of your question, I was not aware that holy water harming liches was a common trope in fiction (it is usually seen in reference to vampires), but even if it is applied to undead more widely, we have established that Jesus was restored to true life, not to any form of unnatural undeath. Moreover, holiness comes from God (that which is holy is set apart for God), and Jesus is fully God, so contact with holy things would not harm him. Indeed, Christ is now in the true holy place in heaven (Hebrews 9:24), which we can only enter when cleansed by his blood (Hebrews 10:19-22).
25 isn't too young, and makes sense if you have focused on education and career. I followed a similar path in that I spent a lot of time in education, only starting to properly consider courting someone around the age of 25 or 26 after I finished my PhD. Things were complicated somewhat by Covid, but I got married last year at the age of 30.
As to losing weight, I can't speak much from experience on that, but losing some weight may be a good idea, as much for your own health as anything else. Unless you are really overweight (in which case it is a medical issue that you should address), I think you shouldn't worry too much about it in terms of dating.
What's sad is that people aren't talking about Mastodon nearly as much as they are talking about Threads and X. It just doesn't seem to get much publicity outside of the fediverse.

Technically a general eye doctor would be an opthalmologist. An optician is someone who makes lenses. The person you see for an eye test at the opticians is an optometrist (someone who measures what strength lenses you need).
Thanks for your detailed post. I appreciate your measured response and approach to defederation, particularly given the personal attacks you suffered. I'm happy with your approach - as long as users who do break the rules can be dealt with, there is no need to defederate.
