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

It always looks so sad...

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

nooo do not skissor teh crub

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

[–] jabathekek@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrllll!!

[–] wick@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dude your mom with a two chambered heart

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Your Mom knows how to tell a joke.

Moooooom, NCD is leaking again!

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

Missed opportunity

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Naaaaah let's not

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why does it look like a foreskin?

[–] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years 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

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Mayas knowing it since centuries, due their life experiments.

[–] CCF_100@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, I hate it

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

Callback to our primordial tube-hearted fish origin

Author of this resarch: my ex girlfriend

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

[–] Gsus4@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] mikey@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I just realized I’m stupid, thank you

[–] farngis_mcgiles@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

welcome to the club bro

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Scubus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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