  • They’d have really big eyes. Depending on the wavelength they can see, they might be nearly all eye.

    If they were able to see a significant chunk of it at good acuity they’d have to be so big I doubt they could survive in a gravity well thanks to the square cube law of surface area. Be more like living space stations. If they were distributed organisms like a mycelium or Aspen colony, maybe they could survive actually visiting Earth, but they’d be really big. Processing that much data over large areas would mean they are very sophisticated thinkers but with a very high latency so slow.

    One fun implication of these building sized to tens of kilometer sized eyes is that am sources would look like a one color light source getting brighter and darker while an fm source would slightly shift colors. Going to earth would be like going clubbing with strobes and disco lights thrown everywhere.

    That’s a treadmill. You have to eat and drink more micro plastics to replace the lost blood. Bloodletting was the opposite you wanted to do with melancholic illness btw. You wanted to increase sanguine humor(blood, the opposite of black bile) so you ate and drank sanguine foods(meat and gravy, red wine) while taking laxatives and enemas.

    Hilariously there is one aspect of this that is actually accurate to modern suggestions. To increase sanguine humor you should exercise and get hot and sweaty (sanguine humor is considered hot and wet). Vigorous exercise is considered by modern medicine to be good for depression.
