At least a slim majority of H. sapiens seems to come up a few cards short of what's required to do this effectively; I don't think there's nearly enough "marked evolutionary development". I wish it were fun for me to watch this circus. Will it ever be better?
It's at least been considered sterile enough for use in certain medical and other emergencies as substitutes for saline or filtered water. There will always be exceptions.
I think John Howard in Australia might have beaten him to that title by a fair number of years. There's crackpot dictators and theocrats in all but name all over the place.
We need finer "screen" than the stuff we typically use on windows here, though. I've seen motivated mosquitoes squeeze through the stuff. For growing algae, I'd want something almost as fine as cheesecloth. Fungus gnats are another potential huge problem, as I suspect they might settle for algae, and they're smaller than mosquitoes.
Urine is sterile. What's the big deal? I piss in the shower all the time and don't even aim for the drain, and I'm just as healthy as anybody who doesn't.
So you're suggesting we evolve to become lichen, then? Brilliant. Even survives in space, as noted recently, so we can ramp up the space program again with significant savings. Good luck gettin' your groove on at that stage, though.
They need to be using biodegradable RFID tags instead. If we can make edible underwear, why FFS can't we make edible RFID tags? Think of the (unhealthy) children!

Maybe we should ask Temple Grandin what she thinks of this theoretical relationship, given her comments during her TED talk?

Snails can already swap gender when the mood suits them.
It ought to be getting down the drain long before that gets a chance to happen....
You'll have some very happy depression-free and horny little soil microbes, then? That's a good thing, right?
Okay, we call it "screen" or "screening" here in the U.S., as in "screen door". See my reply to the other fella regarding characteristics.
What's up with the corks?

No, that would be my toilet bowl... if algae is dirty.
Past my first sentence it was mostly just literary license for fun....
Well, unless you happen to have a bladder infection at the moment, then perhaps not.
Feces are pathogenic unless very carefully composted. Urine is sterile right out of the tap.
Tell that to the little critters in there who don't care for smell of secondhand garlic and tuna.
Add algae to that and you'll have a space-hardy lifeform that you can fry up like potato chips but waaay healthier. Crispy!
What on earth is "fly wire"? Try googling it.

I'm already doing this simply by abstaining from cleaning my toilet bowl. I haven't figured out the harvesting phase yet, though.
... contact the NLRB, National Labor Relations Board, as a next step. They may in effect do any necessary lawyering for you.

And the Klingons will hold still for that? I don't think so!
So... you're saying replace one warp nacelle with a giant balloon-filler?
Meh. Can't use it to snag passing Klingon battlecruisers.
Good minions and henchmen are SO hard to find these days....
