if poo was currency id hate to see what the poo mint would really look like a line of mechanical bums printing out diaper money
Creativity [OpenAI] Aliens Using Human Feces as Currency and the Story of the “Poop Baron”

Sure, plant-based aliens might value our poop, for they might use it as nutrients. Imagine if they mostly happen to live on planets with very little fauna. Feces might be a rare commodity to them.
Therefore, our waste might be super valuable to them.
Here's what OpenAI thinks of that possibility.
Hypothetically speaking, it is possible to imagine an alien race of intelligent, sentient plants that might greatly value human feces and use it as nutrients and as a currency for exchange. In order to understand how and why this might happen, we need to consider the biological and cultural context of such a species.
First, let's consider the biological perspective. Plants, just like any other organism, require certain nutrients to survive and thrive. While plants typically obtain nutrients through photosynthesis and absorption from the soil, they may also be able to extract nutrients from other sources. For example, some plants are able to obtain nitrogen from animal waste. Similarly, an alien species of plants may have evolved to be able to extract certain nutrients from human feces that they cannot obtain from other sources.
Now, let's consider the cultural perspective. It is possible that this alien species of plants may have developed a cultural practice of valuing human feces as a nutrient source and exchange currency. This cultural practice could have emerged due to a variety of reasons, such as scarcity of other nutrient sources or a cultural preference for the taste or texture of human feces. Additionally, if this alien species of plants is highly social, they may have developed a system of exchange that involves using human feces as a medium of exchange, similar to how humans have historically used various items as currency, such as shells or gold.
Furthermore, if this alien species of plants is highly intelligent and sentient, they may have developed complex social systems and economic practices. For example, they may have established rules and regulations around the use and exchange of human feces, such as ensuring that it is properly processed to avoid any harmful pathogens. They may also have established a system of value for different types of feces, such as valuing the feces of certain individuals or groups more highly than others.
In conclusion, while this hypothetical scenario may seem unlikely, it is not impossible to imagine an alien race of intelligent, sentient plants that greatly value human feces as a nutrient source and exchange currency. Such a scenario would be rooted in the biological and cultural context of this alien species and their unique evolution and development.
Therefore, our waste might be super valuable to them.

Oh, and it also commented on what if feces were inexistent in the worlds they inhabit. Because no animal fauna or whatever.
If the alien race of sentient plants evolved on a planet where there are no animals and therefore no feces, it is possible that they may consider human feces to be of extremely high value and importance. In this scenario, human feces would be a valuable source of nutrients that the plants could not obtain from their own environment.
This would likely lead to the development of a culture and economy based around the collection, processing, and exchange of human feces. The plants may even develop techniques for preserving and storing human feces to ensure a consistent supply of this valuable resource. The value of human feces in this alien culture may be so high that it could be used as a form of currency, similar to how gold or other precious metals have been used as currency in human societies.
Overall, the absence of animal feces on their planet would make human feces a rare and valuable resource to the alien plants. This could lead to a unique and complex economy and cultural practices centered around the collection and use of human waste.

This reminds me of the old Mythbusters episode of turd polishing. Those may bring in top dollar in a plant society.

@Wind7 Dude, I love some of these sentences, such as the one you highlighted.
This would likely lead to the development of a culture and economy based around the collection, processing, and exchange of human feces.
And this one too:
They may also have established a system of value for different types of feces, such as valuing the feces of certain individuals or groups more highly than others.
It sounds super serious and formal as if it came out of a science textbook or a dictionary. And it's pretty well thought out, to be honest.
