TIL browsers will reduce the font-size when you set font-family: monospace

I've seen this but always kinda assumed the default monospace font was just small.

You can cancel this by setting a font-size on the element, or by adding a second font to the stack:

font-family: monospace, superbanana;

The second font doesn't even have to exist. Presumably the browser thinks "don't wanna scale THOSE glyphs, let's undo the font scaling"
