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 59 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The foreskin is the heart of the penis

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

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 20 points 1 month 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 26 points 1 month 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 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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

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

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🎵

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (3 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?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] repungnant_canary 5 points 1 month ago

human heart anatomical drawing

Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month 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.
