Reply to comment by Mete11uscimber in TIL about the only double barrel cannon in the world. When it was its first tested during the American Civil War, the chain snapped immediately and one ball tore into a nearby cabin, knocking down its chimney; the other spun off erratically and struck a nearby cow, killing it instantly. by ExpertPreference8481

When I was in the edTech industry, this was cited as a very successful demonstration of gamification. It eventually led to cleaner facilities and reduce cleaning costs.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIL that RED bananas exist. They have a sweeter taste, and contain more nutrients like vitamin C, compared to regular yellow ones. by i_hate_you_and_you

If you're in the US and happen to have an Indian store near you, you can get some of these because they taste fantastic!
I use the nendran variety of bananas to make banana chips or a Kerala sweet snack called Pazham Pori, which is essentially a banana fritter.

I'm pretty sure I've passed by one of these in Toronto. A colleague at work said they tasted 'only slightly worse than a store brand frozen pizza, but still better than the sadness in circular form that is Pizza Pizza.'
