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 1 year ago

The foreskin is the heart of the penis

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

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It’s dicks all the way down

Who knew the heart is a penis? Blessed be

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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago

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

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

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

That's not the shape of my heart 🎶

[-] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I hate it

[-] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[-] Gsus4@mander.xyz 27 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

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

[-] mikey@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

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

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 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year ago

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 1 year ago
[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year 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.
