Shape of the Heart
(mander.xyz)
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

Moooooom, NCD is leaking again!
Thought it was going to turn into Saddam there for a second.
Why does it look like a foreskin?
The foreskin is the heart of the penis
Unless you’re very talented, that somebody else’s cock stuck up your back
It’s dicks all the way down
Cause it is a tube. All Floppy Tubus do.
Callback to our primordial tube-hearted fish origin
Make sure to unfold and wring out your heart after each breakup, to keep the creases from setting in too much.

Naaaaah let's not

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.

I was wondering something similar. Maybe this is an innovative approach to heart surgery.
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 🎶
Thanks, I hate it
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.
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?
Isn't that why there are 2 loops at the bottom? One for the left and one for the right?
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.
Considering this picture of a whole heart you are probably correct

For a total eclipse of the heart you would need a moon shaped like a big hambone.
🎵 And no one's gonna bend or break me 🎵
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🎵
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.
