Maybe it’s a part of Saddam? Heart, foreskin, who knows.
Shou@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It has

Why does it look like a foreskin?

It’s dicks all the way down

Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.

What happened to your foreskin?

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 5 months ago
No. It needs to squeeze against itself to move blood to and from chambers.
Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 5 months 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?
toynbee@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I was wondering something similar. Maybe this is an innovative approach to heart surgery.
Death_Equity@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yes, in the way that Mengele was innovative in the medical field.

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 months ago
Why did they name the left and right atrium backwards? That seems unnecessarily confusing.
vithigar@lemmy.ca 5 months 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?
rockerface@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Isn’t that why there are 2 loops at the bottom? One for the left and one for the right?
assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 5 months 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 embryological develops from a tube that folds over itself so you can theoretically ‘unfold’ it.

human heart anatomical drawing
Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

There are two “halves” but they’re nowhere near symmetric. The two parts nested inside one another in (a) are the “halves”.
LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 5 months ago
For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.

Shape of my Heart is a different, but equally bangin’, song.
2ugly2live@lemmy.world 5 months 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 5 months ago
To save space
intensely_human@lemm.ee 5 months 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.

This tore my heart apart.
shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
This kills the person.
proti@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I think taking the heart out is the part that kills them, unless perhaps you reverse origami it while it’s still attached

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.
