In today's episode, we dive into the science behind the cloning of pets! After falling down a TikTok rabbit hole, I dug into how it actually works, what it costs, and whether it’s ethical… or just a really convincing illusion. Is this a second chance at spending more time with your soul mate, or is it science that has gone too far? We break down how pet cloning actually works, from DNA to surrogate mothers, and explore the ethics, cost, and emotional reality behind it. Is it really bringing your pet back… or just creating a copy? What does cloning mean for our future? Let's discuss!

Submarines are the silent hunters of the deep. From the large nuclear-powered boats of today’s navies, to the German U-Boats of the First and Second World Wars, these machines hidden beneath the waves can change the course of history. In the United States, the first submersible was the Turtle with an egg-shaped hull designed by David Bushnell. This hand-powered submarine was used in a failed attempt to sink the British ship HMS Eagle in New York Harbor in 1776. Nearly one hundred years later the HL Hunley, a submarine built by the Confederate States of America, would become the first to sink an enemy vessel during the American Civil War.

Have you ever “heard” yourself talk in your head? If you have, then you’ve experienced a common phenomenon called an internal monologue.

Also referred to as “internal dialogue,” “the voice inside your head,” or an “inner voice,” your internal monologue is the result of certain brain mechanisms that cause you to “hear” yourself talk in your head without actually speaking and forming sounds.

While an internal monologue is a common occurrence, not everyone experiences it. There’s a lot that researchers have yet to uncover about why some people frequently “hear” an inner voice, and what it means.

A cult established in 1987 by Shoko Asahara, the Aum aimed to take over Japan and then the world. Approved as a religious entity in 1989 under Japanese law, the group ran candidates in a Japanese parliamentary election in 1990. Over time the cult began to emphasize the imminence of the end of the world and stated that the United States would initiate Armageddon by starting World War III with Japan.

Hello fellow detectives, today's mystery, or mysteries I should say, remain unsolved. The beauty in these things is that they could be solved at any point in time though which fills my cold heart with joy. We’re going to cover 10 mysteries! Inspired by an article I read from treehugger.com called “10 of the World’s Biggest Unsolved Mysteries” by Brian Nelson, updated on October 3rd, 2024 so very recently. We have a lot to cover and honestly almost all of these I had never even heard of before so let’s go ahead and dive into the first one on the list that lives rent free in my head. We’re actually probably going to cover the first five tonight and the next five on the next Bren episode because I don’t want to rush these. Let’s go!
