There are other brands,
We found Beyond’s impossible products are not the best. Also I been a strict Vegan for so long most of these I cannot remember what the animals meat tasted like.

This cool experiment*, cannot wait to see what happens.

*- An interest question arises,

If the AI agrthums (SP?) requires the input of The Internet of our species communications to create it’s responses/communications…
Like if members of our species where separated & no input from in-person interactions, then they would need The Internet of our species communications to know how the world is & how to communicate in it.

IF I HAVE IT WRONG, THEN PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHY I HAVE IT WRONG.

…then supposedly The AIs only environment/social media & communications is just not accurate.

Thanks for interesting reply, but I do not know if I understand your point.

we cannot let the Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners to just produce even a single new piece of plastic, but on the other hand for me the root of the problem is that the extraction of oil worldwide is still expanding instead of phasing out. Meaning that, as long as this is the case, more and more plastic will be produced.

Sure there is the problem with manufacturing oil period, & I agree with you we must stop that to, but this was a thread about stopping plastic manufacturing. So, let us say we just go to the root, as you say, & ban oil extracting completely, then plastics are made from another material that makes the plastic take way too long to biodegrade. Where as if plastics, made from any materials that make take too long to biodegrade, are banned, then solved plastics that take too long to biodegrade. At the same time, we could ban the oil extraction & use in any products. Makes even already extracted oil worthless, & better put where it was extracted from.
If the economics taken out of producing plastics, I do not see anyone producing more plastics.

Apart from that, of course bacteria eating plastics sound like a great option, but they are not the only way to get rid of plastics. Some alternatives would be fungi that “eat” plastic, or mycelium that replace plastics. Here are some relevant articles.

AWESOME, THANKS, I will have to check it later, just got home from 2nd-day of 3-days Homestead Rodeo protesting.

The only question have about (other not really alternatives, not completing) the additional ways to using nature to eat plastics is-

Would not bacteria eating the plastics be faster & more complete than the additional ways? Does not bacteria travel faster & is in more different environments, like oceans-water, land, sky & Etc.?

I am sorry, but I will probably never trust it. & The USA food science & regulations I never can trust.

The Vegan & no lab grown meat foods are awesome, why would I need this?
The biggest question for us Vegans is-
Are lab grown (from animals cells) really okay, Vegan?

‘Babylon 5’ & ‘Farscape’ were ‘Star Trek’ series, since when & how?

I will try to give it a try, only if it costs me nothing, to do so.

I know, they are not scientist of language & effective communication in a political environment.

One must know what causes the problem, to be able instill solution(s).

WOW, thanks, for posting about this, never heard about this before.

Seems undoable to me, but yet, to finish reading the post & have not read the article linked.

According to news & international organizations I trust, without intervention by non-nature based solutions, it is already too late for preventing the worst of ‘Global Warming’ , not climate change- Capitalist term, manipulation of understanding minds for profits.

I think it would be a good time to summarize the answers from repliers I have received, which I appreciate, when the answered why the series after the first 3-series. Plus my quick thoughts on the answers, I do not think I missed any, It is going to be very general, not as detailed some might want.

Cost of doing non-humanoid shape aliens, but since we talking advancing technologies after ‘The Next Generation’ lowering costs & series like the very next series in ‘Deep Space Nine’ starting-existing on new & cheap networks, like ‘Deep Space Nine’s starting on ‘Paramount’ owned ‘Viacom’ & rest of existence on ‘UPN’. These networks are NOT going to spend money & resources on the series, even if they brought it about, if they are NOT getting the audience ratings. Wait, wait & wait a sec. here I have add a huge addition to my above comments, cannot believe I did not think of this first-time, The Networks will also cancel or put a lot pressure on programming that not fit their politics-political messaging. Network censorship caused?

Time it takes to do that effects to have non-humanoid shaped aliens, but again advancing technologies lowers the time factor as well & depends upon what networks are willing to accept.

Complexity of communicating with rest of crew & Etc., but I think of the movie ‘Contact’ solving the very problem. Plus they all have universal translators,

Complexity of manipulating the machines involved in the space travel, but ‘Star Trek’ series like ‘Enterprise’ already have had aliens that are not able to traditionally, by our biases, manipulate the machines are still able to manipulate the machines. Example of ‘Enterprise’ has regular aliens that can only live in liquid/water. The original series had aliens that did not even need spaceships, let alone manipulating machines.

There were series that have had non-Humanoid Shaped aliens, but they are few & far between or not important characters or that last past a episode or two.

&

Last one, I am going to introduce myself, because I have the feeling that some repliers believe it is at least a factor- SciFi audience is not ready to not see themselves/humanoid shaped in almost every single Being in a ‘Star Trek’ series. My response is simple & equally serious, I have a lot more faith in The SciFi & ‘Star Trek’ audiences. I think they would not only accept at least some of the characters, especially some main characters, being of non-Humanoid Shaped, but they would love it & reward the series that does it.

Maybe, I was too quick & tough with last reply, sorry. I just have gotten tired of too many, one is too many, repliers bogging down the discussions within the first 3-series (the original-Animated Series-The Next Generation) when clearly the post starting this thread clearly asks- Why does the Star Trek series (after the first 3; starting with ‘Deep Space 9’) only has humanoid shaped aliens?

Not a problem if done after the 1st three Star Trek series-now, & that was the point to starting this thread. We are exchanging over nothing, to put it nicely.

LAZINESS!!!

That is biggest trend for Rich-Super Rich Economic Classes/Owners & the poorer other classes are trying save more time for them to live life.

LOL!

Mr. Musk Running X into the ground, the Owner of the piece of BLANK electric automobiles corporation & headed-up The illegal USA Department DOGE is all about mirage? WOW! (I hope no ones needs me to say this, but that was sarcasm)

There had been water based Beings, never leave water, in I think The Star Trek’s series was named ‘Enterprise’ that had enemy that never left water. Plus your points,

Also remember ‘Deep Space 9’ was on a brandnew channel-UPN, that ran out of resources given to the series, when it did not high big with viewers, source from the documentary’The Center Seat’. Had the huge & established channel taken on the series, then expenses you mentioned might not been an issue at all.

Repliers (like yourself) keep missing this part of my post that started this thread- “The first three TV series figured this out”. So yes, I already knew about The Original Series (which is what I think of, when I think of the first three ‘Star Trek’ series with in non-humanoid aliens), ‘The Animated Series’ & ‘The Next Generation’ use of non-Humanoid aliens.
Some repliers also keep missing the rest of that sentence of my post that started this thread- “, but since then everything I have seen has only Humanoid shape aliens.”, when they keep sticking only to the first three series.
