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

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

    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 🤔

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

    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 learned about this last night. Are we a hive mind?

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

    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?

    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.
