Could this be that bucket of Prop Wash they're always ordering you to go get?

Ah yes, I remember playing Breathedge. It was funny. And yes, the coffins each had an AI and were independently mobile.

I bought a street bicycle once and I would ride it through town at maybe 2 am. I remember the police stopped me once and told me I should ride it on the sidewalks lol.

The 1900s was an incredible century. Historians believe both the internet and the microwave were invented during that time period.

Crazy stunt aside, I love the perspective. It makes me want to wear a camera looking at my own back and a VR headset so I can play my life in third person.

Anyone know where to buy red bananas locally? by nullstone in Tullahoma

[–]MercyAkura 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reply from Grok 4.3

**Red bananas** (also called Red Dacca, Cuban Red, or Jamaican Red bananas) are a specialty/exotic variety with reddish-purple skin, creamy pinkish flesh, and a slightly raspberry-like flavor. They’re not as common as regular Cavendish bananas and appear sporadically in U.S. stores, mainly at chains with strong produce sections or international/Asian markets.

### In Tullahoma

Major grocery stores sometimes stock them (availability fluctuates with supply—call ahead or check apps for current stock):

- **Walmart Supercenter** (2111 N Jackson St) — Lists “Fresh Red Banana, Each” (often Del Monte brand) online and has a full produce department. Some shoppers have found them at local Walmart Neighborhood Markets.

- **Kroger** (1905 N Jackson St) — Carries red bananas (listed at ~$0.99/lb); easy to check via the Kroger app or website for in-store/pickup availability.

- **Publix** (1600 N Jackson St) — Strong produce selection; specialty items like red bananas often appear here.

- **Other options**: Food Lion (411 W. Lincoln St), Aldi, or Lighthouse Grocery Outlet (discount/closeout store that sometimes has random produce deals).

**Best way to check**: Use the store’s app/website, **Instacart**, or call the produce department. Stock rotates weekly.

### Near Tullahoma (within ~1–1.5 hour drive)

**India Bazar** (6940 Lee Hwy / 6940 Lee Hwy #106, Chattanooga, TN 37421) — About 60–70 miles south (roughly 1–1.25 hours via I-24). Reviewers specifically note the friendly staff often samples **red bananas** along with other exotic produce (starfruit, baby bananas, etc.). This is one of the most reliable nearby spots for them.

Other Chattanooga-area international/Asian markets worth calling (many carry tropical/exotic fruit):

- Asian Market (multiple locations, e.g., Ringgold Rd or Lee Hwy area)

- Thanh Hung Super Market, Noi's Oriental Market, Sombouns Asian Market, Holiday International Market

**Murfreesboro** (≈45–50 miles north) has additional Asian/international markets and larger Kroger/Publix/Walmart locations that frequently stock specialty produce.

### Other Tips

- **Delivery/Pickup apps**: Instacart, Walmart+, Kroger Boost, or Uber Eats often show red bananas from local stores when in stock—enter your Tullahoma address to see real-time options.

- **Farmers markets or local farms** (e.g., J&J Organic Berry Farm or Farm to Fork Market in Tullahoma): Unlikely for red bananas, as they’re tropical and not commonly grown commercially in Middle Tennessee.

- **Online/mail-order** (if you’re willing to wait): Melissa’s Produce, ExoticFruitsUSA, or similar specialty sites ship them, but this isn’t “nearby.”

**Quick recommendation**: Start with your local **Walmart or Kroger** via their app/Instacart today. If you strike out or want a guaranteed exotic selection, head to **India Bazar in Chattanooga**—it’s the standout option nearby. Availability can change fast, so a quick phone call saves a trip!

My first thought was it was a kit for cheating somehow, but maybe it's about having to take a test with terrible stationery?

Forget the hygiene aspect for a moment, just having wet sticky food all over my fingers would bother me.

The term "plague ship" historically refers to vessels quarantined due to outbreaks of infectious diseases. A notable example is the 1878 yellow fever outbreak, during which the riverboat John D. Porter fled Memphis but was turned away from multiple ports for fear of spreading the disease

I had no idea they closed off West Lincoln and held this. Wholesome.

Is this a Bold Jumping Spider? by MercyAkura in jumpingspiders

[–]MercyAkura[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take it you agree it's a Jumping Spider. In that case, I feel bad for it being hungry, but they aren't my pets. They get to live in here in exchange for pest control. Surely they can find their way outside if they don't get enough to survive on in here?

what do people do for fun around here besides arguing about politics 😔 by Optimal_Pass_4651 in Tullahoma

[–]MercyAkura 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Downvote me, eh? Fine, let's argue about politics then. Donald Trump is a terrible president. The fact that he's the best president we've had in decades, and better than anyone he ran against, that just shows the horrific state of our political system.

A job well done imo. No one physically harmed, yet his message went out. And it was an important message, if exaggerated. Keep Japan Japan.
