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

Moooooom, NCD is leaking again!

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 12 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

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

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[-] mikey@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

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.

[-] Lenny@lemmy.zip 113 points 18 hours ago

Thought it was going to turn into Saddam there for a second.

[-] riodoro1@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Now you’ve called it

[-] JoShmoe@ani.social 24 points 17 hours ago

Missed opportunity

[-] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago

That's step f.

[-] Michal@programming.dev 21 points 14 hours ago

That's not the shape of my heart 🎶

What would this shit look like if it was still pumping...

C'mon Cronenberg, get on it!

[-] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 6 hours ago

What kind of person? Lizard man with a 2-chambered heart?

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 31 points 18 hours ago

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrllll!!

[-] proti@lemmy.world 63 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 59 points 21 hours ago
[-] 7dev7random7@suppo.fi 1 points 33 minutes ago

This heart could be easily entangled. So I don't understand this thread's OP nor this Meme.

And I am too afraid to ask.

[-] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 36 points 19 hours ago

nooo do not skissor teh crub

[-] Sat@lemmynsfw.com 37 points 20 hours ago

It always looks so sad...

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 12 points 14 hours ago

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?

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours 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 9 hours ago

human heart anatomical drawing

Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

[-] rockerface@lemm.ee 7 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 36 points 19 hours ago

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

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago

I just learned about this last night. Are we a hive mind?

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)
[-] ruk_n_rul 40 points 21 hours ago

Callback to our primordial tube-hearted fish origin

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 46 points 21 hours ago

Why does it look like a foreskin?

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 2 points 7 hours ago

What happened to your foreskin?

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 6 points 9 hours ago

Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 56 points 21 hours ago

The foreskin is the heart of the penis

[-] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 7 points 21 hours ago

Unless you’re very talented, that somebody else’s cock stuck up your back

[-] Whorehoarder@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 19 hours ago

Who knew the heart is a penis? Blessed be

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 15 points 21 hours ago

It’s dicks all the way down

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 24 points 21 hours ago

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

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

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

[-] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 13 hours ago

Could it not just sorta flex the tube? Like couldn't one part of the tube pull on or press off of the next?

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 59 minutes ago

No. This diagram doesn't show how they got the heart to unravel like that. There's a layer or wrapping around the heart and internal connective tissues that holds the heart in its traditional state. I'd imagine if the got the muscles of a unrolled heart to contract it would just fold or bind at points. But definitely wouldn't pump anything.

[-] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 13 hours ago

As someone who flexes the tube very often, I would guess that the heart would start pumping unwanted fluids

[-] toynbee@lemmy.world 10 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 23 points 20 hours ago

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

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

🎵 And no one's gonna bend or break me 🎵

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

That's Faith of the Heart.

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

🎵I know that diamonds mean money for this art, but that's not the shape of my heart🎵
