Mayas knowing it since centuries, due their life experiments.
Moooooom, NCD is leaking again!
This tore my heart apart.
Author of this resarch: my ex girlfriend
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.
To save space
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.
For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.
This kills the person.
I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it's still attached
nooo do not skissor teh crub
It always looks so sad...
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.
I don't think most people see heart as something you can uncurl.
As for the crab it's a meme older than some users here
Caaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrllll!!
In case anyone is like me and only knows this from years ago, the creator filmcow is still around and has been making tons of great content all these years (check out vulo lives). I think he's even crowdfunding a new ending to the llamas with hats series at the moment which I'm pretty psyched for.

Thought it was going to turn into Saddam there for a second.
It has
Maybe it's a part of Saddam? Heart, foreskin, who knows.
Missed opportunity
Now you’ve called it
That's step f.
Look up embryological development of the heart to see why
That's even better. Two blood vessels that fuse and twist.
Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.
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
welcome to the club bro
A true inflection point no doubt
Make sure to unfold and wring out your heart after each breakup, to keep the creases from setting in too much.
That's not the shape of my heart 🎶
Why does it look like a foreskin?
Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.

Callback to our primordial tube-hearted fish origin
I wonder if a heart could still beat/function when it's unrolled in this way 🤔
No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.

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