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 57 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The foreskin is the heart of the penis

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 3 weeks 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 25 points 3 weeks ago

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

... I see I'm not the only person with intrusive thoughts.

That's not the shape of my heart 🎶

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 25 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] mikey@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks 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.

I just realized I’m stupid, thank you

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 3 weeks ago

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

[–] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks 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 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks 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.

[–] pancake@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

It starts out as a tube and folds into its final shape, but I'm suprised it can be reversed, holy crap...
