But in a typical human body the liver exists on the opposite side of the abdomen and it is much larger than a spleen, he said.Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast hospital said in a statement Wednesday it's "performing a thorough investigation" into Bryan's death and takes allegations like the one made by his family "very seriously.""Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast has a longstanding history of providing safe, quality care since the hospital opened its doors in 2003," the statement said. "Patient safety is and remains our number one priority. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the family. We hold the privacy of our patients in the highest regard. We do not comment on specific patient cases or active litigation."According to the Cleveland Clinic, the typical human spleen is roughly the size of an avocado, and the typical human liver is roughly the size of a football."

In this conversation, Don and Bean discuss the ethical implications of decoding thoughts and the potential uses and abuses of this technology. They explore the current research being done to decode brain activity using EEG and fMRI machines. They also discuss the privacy concerns and the potential for government surveillance and manipulation. The conversation raises questions about the role of ethics in scientific advancement and the need for regulations to protect individuals from abuse. Keywords- decoding thoughts, brain activity, EEG, fMRI, privacy concerns, government surveillance, ethical implications, scientific advancement, regulations, black mirror Takeaways- Decoding thoughts is a topic of interest in the scientific community, with research being done to decode brain activity using EEG and fMRI machines. The potential uses of decoding thoughts include giving a voice to those who cannot communicate and improving medical treatments. However, there are ethical concerns and potential abuses of this technology, such as government surveillance and manipulation. The lack of functioning democracies and regulations to protect individuals from abuse is a major concern. The conversation raises questions about the role of ethics in scientific advancement and the need for checks and balances to ensure responsible use of technology. Decoding Thoughts: The Ethical Implications The Need for Checks and Balances in Technology "I just want to be bad so much. It's so difficult for me. Yeah, I want to be a bad. I want to be bad." "I did feel like my thoughts were being violated." "Your cell phone's always here, like you said, it's always listening."

Our most unhinged episode yet! Did you know that sharks in the ocean are testing positive for cocaine in Brazil? Neither did we. Did you know that in America, there are systems in place that grant an active President full legal immunity. That's kinda fun and not an issue at all...I'm sure.

The new title means that the breed of goats Tamsin belongs to - the Golden Guernsey goat - will now officially be called the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat."

Guys, I'm kinda freaking out... Do you know when you talk to your friends about something and then you see an advertisement? Well, the other day I was just letting my brain wander, as it does, and I had a completely original thought to me, in my years of existence I've never even wondered how this happens and the next morning... less than 24 hours later I'm served a video on TikTok, of the very thing I was wondering about the evening before.

In this amalgamation, we cover it all. And by all I mean virtual reality career options, New Age Christianity Cults, and a mini hive mind brain powered computer. The future is now old man! ------------- “We’re excited to launch paid work on Roblox to showcase how we do careers differently, bringing our unique careers philosophy to life. At IKEA, there is no set route to career progression. Our co-workers are able to change roles, switch departments, and grow in any direction they choose, both in the game or in the real world. There are many ways to learn and grow at IKEA, and that's what IKEA on Roblox is all about.” -Darren TaylorCountry People and Culture Manager, IKEA UK and Ireland ------------- " We aspire to create a space to assist each other to remember the miracle of every day simple life and reconnect to our beautiful planet Earth. Together we explore, discover, create and build heaven on earth in every moment.  Our soul tribe is uniting to acquire land and build an Emerald Sun city  of Lights Community where all can enjoy communal organic living in  wholeness of life and land. We invite and promote empowered living, and  conscientious soul love through our endeavors, inspirations, and actions. " -Profundity yours vision statement ------------- This new product, called the Neuroplatform, uses small versions of human brains to do computer work instead of silicon chips. The company says it can fit 16 of these mini-brains onto the Neuroplatform and use a fraction of the energy required to power a traditional set up. Summary- In this episode, Bean and Don discuss two news stories. The first story is about Ikea hiring 10 people to work in their virtual Ikea store created in Roblox. The hosts discuss the implications of this virtual job and speculate on the true intentions behind it. The second story is about a new cult called Profundity Yours, based in Marietta, Texas. Bean shares the details of the cult and its unique blend of New Age Christianity. The hosts express their fascination with cults and discuss the cult's catchy name and matching uniforms. In this conversation, Bean and Don discuss two distinct topics. The first topic is about a cult called ProfundityYours, led by Linda McGillis, who claims to be an extraterrestrial deity. They discuss the cult's beliefs, practices, and potential harm. The second topic is about the development of biological computers or mini brains, which are 3D cultures of brain tissue that mimic the structure and functions of the human brain. They explore the potential applications and ethical implications of this technology. Keywords- Ikea, virtual job, Roblox, cult, Profundity Yours, New Age Christianity, matching uniforms, cult, ProfundityYours, Linda McGillis, extraterrestrial deity, biological computers, mini brains, brain tissue, neurons, computational performance, energy efficiency Takeaways- Ikea is hiring people to work in their virtual Ikea store in Roblox, raising questions about the future of virtual jobs and the motivations behind such initiatives. The Profundity Yours cult in Marietta, Texas combines elements of New Age Christianity and has a catchy name and matching uniforms. The hosts express their fascination with cults and discuss the psychology behind cults and their allure. Cults can take advantage of vulnerable individuals and manipulate them into cutting ties with family and friends. The development of biological computers or mini brains has the potential to combine the computational performance of computers with the energy efficiency of the human brain. The ethical implications of biological computers include concerns about consciousness, manipulation, and the potential for a hive mind. The future of these technologies is uncertain, and their widespread adoption may depend on societal acceptance and ethical considerations.

Have you ever wondered the history behind the saying "The greatest invention since sliced bread"? I haven't either but Don graciously gave me a history lesson and so glad he did! Check out this *midnight snack* about the man who created a bread slicing machine and how that invention truly encapsulated the American Dream! Sliced bread is a loaf of bread that has been sliced with a machine and packaged for convenience, as opposed to the consumer cutting it with a knife. It was first sold in 1928, advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped". Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, United States, invented the first single loaf bread-slicing machine. A prototype he built in 1912 was destroyed in a fire,[4] and it was not until 1928 that Rohwedder had a fully working machine ready. The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, who sold their first slices on July 7, 1928.[5] Their product, "Kleen Maid Sliced Bread", proved to be a success. Battle Creek, Michigan, has a competing claim as the first city to sell bread sliced by Rohwedder's machine; however, historians have produced no documentation backing up Battle Creek's claim.[6] The bread was advertised as "the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped".

BREAKING NEWS -- In this midnight snack Don and Bean cover the groundbreaking discovery made by a hiker in China! The tallest waterfall was proven to come from...let's so shady origins... "A controversy over a waterfall has cascaded into a social media storm in China, even prompting an explanation from the water body itself. A hiker posted a video that showed the flow of water from Yuntai Mountain Waterfall - billed as China's tallest uninterrupted waterfall - was coming from a pipe built high into the rock face. The clip has been liked more than 70,000 times since it was first posted on Monday. Operators of the Yuntai tourism park said that they made the "small enhancement" during the dry season so visitors would feel that their trip had been worthwhile. "The one about how I went through all the hardship to the source of Yuntai Waterfall only to see a pipe," the caption of the video posted by user "Farisvov" reads. The topic "the origin of Yuntai Waterfall is just some pipes" began trending all over social media. It received more than 14 million views on Weibo and nearly 10 million views on Douyin - causing such an uproar that local government officials were sent to the park to investigate. They asked the operators to learn a lesson from the incident and explain the enhancements to tourists ahead of time, according to state broadcaster CCTV."

In this episode we get a little heavy with a pinch of existential dread when talking about a discovery that allegedly claims there is no such thing as free will after we watched an episode of StarTalk with with Robert Sapolsky & Neil deGrasse Tyson. "Is there a quantum reason we could have free will? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explore the concept of free will and predetermination with neuroscientist, biologist, and author of Determined: The Science of Life Without Free Will, Robert Sapolsky." And Bean wraps up the episode with the horrific true crime story of a mother accused of throwing her disabled son to his death in a crocodile-infested canal in India. "We found the child's body from the canal on Sunday morning," Karnataka Police sub-inspector Krishna Arakeri, who is investigating the case, told CBS News. "There were several injury marks on the child's body and one hand was missing, which seems to have been eaten by a crocodile."

Glenn Sullivan Sr., 54, pleaded guilty April 17 to four counts of second-degree rape, according to District Attorney Scott Perrilloux’s office. "Sullivan also groomed the victim and “used threats of violence against her and her family” to prevent her from coming forward, an April 22 press release from Perrilloux’s office stated. “So many of these types of cases go unreported because of fear,” the district attorney said. “The strength it must have taken for this young woman to tell the truth in the face of threats and adversity is truly incredible.” *****Don wants everyone to know that he misspoke about Kant. Please don't burn him at the philosophy stakes*****

"Hello, cuties! We're back after a little break. We missed you and we hope you missed us too <3" This week we brought a new selection for you to savor.

In this conversation, Bean and Don discuss a Vietnamese woman who embezzled billions of dollars from a bank, the death penalty sentence she received, and the predatory practices of streaming services like Netflix and Disney+. They also touch on the importance of not using lead to treat hemorrhoids and the value society places on money. Keywords / SEO - lead poisoning, hemorrhoid ointment, Facebook, AI-generated porn, ethical oversight, social media, double standard, regulations, Vietnamese woman, embezzlement, bank fraud, death penalty, streaming services, Netflix, Disney+, lead treatment, hemorrhoids, money Takeaways- Be cautious when purchasing products, especially medical ones, from online platforms like Facebook. The rise of AI-generated porn highlights the need for ethical oversight on social media platforms. The online world is still the Wild West, and regulations are necessary to protect individuals from harm. There is a double standard in society's response to issues, with more attention given when it affects celebrities. The potential of technology is often misused for harmful or trivial purposes, rather than for more significant advancements. A Vietnamese woman embezzled billions of dollars from a bank, highlighting the need for stricter regulations and oversight in financial institutions. The woman was sentenced to death, sparking a debate about the appropriateness of the punishment for a white-collar crime. Streaming services like Netflix and Disney+ engage in predatory practices, such as canceling shows for tax purposes and fragmenting content across multiple platforms. Using lead to treat hemorrhoids is dangerous and should be avoided. Society places a high value on money, often prioritizing financial gain over ethical considerations.

Happy Easter y'all! This week we're filling your basket with a grab bag of cute and horrific stories! -- Join our Discord -- Email us at [email protected] Summary - In this episode, Don and Bean discuss various topics, including the Senate investigation into TikTok, the influence of social media, the annoyance of advertising, and a man who stole 200,000 Cadbury Cream Eggs. They also share a bizarre story about a man who was arrested for walking around with a severed human leg. They then explore the idea of serial killers evading capture by committing crimes in different countries. Takeaways / SEO The Senate investigation into TikTok may be driven by ulterior motives rather than genuine concern for American children. Advertising can be intrusive and frustrating, leading to a dislike for the products being advertised. Stealing 200,000 Cadbury Cream Eggs may seem like a fun idea, but it can lead to legal trouble. Walking around with a severed human leg is not only disturbing but also illegal. The severity of a crime can be subjective, and different people may have varying opinions on the appropriate punishment. The idea of serial killers evading capture by committing crimes in different countries is a thought-provoking concept.

Takeaways Misbranding food products can have serious consequences for people with allergies or dietary restrictions. The FDA's approval of weight loss drugs raises questions about the responsibility of consumers in managing their weight and the role of the government and pharmaceutical companies in promoting such drugs.

They also mention an upcoming documentary on an alleged abusive step-grandfather. Takeaways The debate over lowering the minimum age to buy firearms raises questions about age restrictions and the inconsistency in laws regarding alcohol and weapons.

The similarities between the current system and modern-day slavery highlight the exploitation of labor and the concentration of wealth. The upper middle class plays a role in the system but is not representative of the ultra-wealthy, who hold a significant portion of the wealth. There is a need for change and revolution to address the issues of wealth disparity and corporate greed.
