I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it's still attached

Why does it look like a foreskin?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 59 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The foreskin is the heart of the penis

Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.

Make sure to unfold and wring out your heart after each breakup, to keep the creases from setting in too much.

I wonder if a heart could still beat/function when it's unrolled in this way 🤔

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (3 children)

No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.

I was wondering something similar. Maybe this is an innovative approach to heart surgery.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months ago

Yes, in the way that Mengele was innovative in the medical field.

That's not the shape of my heart 🎶

Thanks, I hate it

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

That's even better. Two blood vessels that fuse and twist.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.

[–] mikey@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

It's only backwards because you're looking at it from the outside from the front. When it's in you, the left is on your left.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I just realized I’m stupid, thank you

For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Interesting, but this isn't an entire heart, is it? Only half? Or isn't a human heart? Human hearts have separate left and right pairs of chambers which pump oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood separately. Or am I mistaken?

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Isn't that why there are 2 loops at the bottom? One for the left and one for the right?

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I just assumed that they dissected through the heart to unfold it. In humans the heart is ‘compact’ and there’s no real way to unfold it without cutting through cardiac muscle but, the heart embryologically develops from a tube that folds over itself so you can theoretically ‘unfold’ it.

[–] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

human heart anatomical drawing

Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

That's Faith of the Heart.

Shape of my Heart is a different, but equally bangin', song.

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not that I want to unroll it, but why did it "roll" up in the first place? It seems so tightly wound compared to, like, the intestines or something. Just curious.

[–] infinite_ass@leminal.space 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

And maybe to share muscle power between different phases of the stroke. Two muscles that evolved to pump different chambers could both work on the same chamber when they’re folded over one another. Allow them to transfer force between the layers.
