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

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.

can@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 21:42 collapse

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

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.

It starts out as a tube and folds into its final shape, but I’m suprised it can be reversed, holy crap…

Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works on 01 Dec 22:50 next collapse

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

toynbee@lemmy.world on 01 Dec 23:12 next collapse

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

Death_Equity@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 00:03 next collapse

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

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 01:24 collapse

jabathekek@sopuli.xyz on 02 Dec 03:02 next collapse

It depends on how fresh the kill it is.

NatakuNox@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 03:40 collapse

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

Kalcifer@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 06:13 collapse

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 on 02 Dec 06:40 next collapse

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

NatakuNox@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 19:08 collapse

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.

Agent641@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 00:18 next collapse

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

vithigar@lemmy.ca on 02 Dec 05:45 next collapse

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 on 02 Dec 09:15 next collapse

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

Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 14:32 next collapse

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.

IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org on 03 Dec 06:43 collapse

There are two “halves” but they’re nowhere near symmetric. The two parts nested inside one another in (a) are the “halves”.

assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 07:53 next collapse

Look up embryological development of the heart to see why

Gsus4@mander.xyz on 02 Dec 16:29 collapse

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.

mikey@sh.itjust.works on 02 Dec 19:00 collapse

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.

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

2ugly2live@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 21:58 next collapse

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 on 02 Dec 22:00 collapse

To save space

intensely_human@lemm.ee on 02 Dec 23:52 collapse

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.
