drat, this is a whole other world of "hungry" that I never knew existed.

I'll get an mildly unpleasant feeling in my stomach to let me know it's empty, sometimes with borborygmi, but that's about it.


This whole 'hungry shakes' thing would freak me the gently caress out.

It's happened to me once or twice when I first started a prescription for methylphenidate and was working out yeah heavily and holy poo poo is it a bad feeling. I got incredibly aggressive and confused and my hands felt like they were vibrating.

I throw up if I get too hungry. But even just a single bite will stop it from happening. It also makes my benign essential tremor much worse. Being hungry is the worst and I always carry granola bars with me so I don't end up puking.

I don't have hunger problems, but my mom has issues after her two hospital stays.

In 2010, she spent 35 days in the hospital due to pancreatitis caused by undiagnosed gallstones. She made it out of surgery to remove her gallbladder with something like a 20% chance of survival, and took about 6 months to get her strength back up to where she could walk around normally without getting tired. A while after that, she started suffering what seemed like an acid buildup when she didn't eat enough or ate the wrong things (like anything spicy) that would result in dry heaving or potentially vomiting.

Well, it turns out the mesh put in after her surgery had hosed up and she actually had an infection. In the summer of 2016 she ended up hospitalized again, this time for only about two weeks but the doctor told us that if we had delayed another day she probably would have died. Now she can eat just about anything she wants, but her body's been hosed into having diabetes. If she skips even one meal of her three a day, she risks getting shaky and woozy. The worst part is that the foggy brain she gets from low blood sugar can cause her to make irrational decisions like skipping eating until she gets home because she doesn't want to go to the trouble of stopping somewhere, so sometimes I have to forcibly get her to eat so she doesn't crash her car.

No no no. Time travel isn't possible.

The AI will make perfect simulations of the people who could have helped it, but didn't, being hellishly tortured. That's not just possible, but inevitable!

Oh, and before you say that you don't even care what would happen to your flawless duplicate, read this crank treatise on quantum mechanics to learn why your decision-theory is childish and inconsistent!!

Not quite. Its more along the lines that if you're given a choice between killing some people and giving an infinite number of people a grain of sand in their eye, you should kill someone, because that pain is finite while the other isn't. Or something. Its a bunch of people who vaguely kinda-sorta grasp the concept of "infinity" and take it to truly ridiculous extremes.

That's just a standard utilitarianism thought experiment. Although I feel like it's usually used as an argument against utilitarianism, not an actual moral guideline.

It's not the most pleasant of things. It can also make me feel... ravenous, is the best word. Not just hungry, but... a desire to eat something that is almost frightening in how strong it is.

I've had a gastric bypass because, frankly, I was dying in slow motion beforehand, and so I've been through basically every type of eating and hunger issue there is.

I was on a medically prescribed starvation diet for 3 weeks before surgery, where you have exactly 700 calories a day in the form of protein shakes that taste like pancake batter. It's to prepare the body for surgery and make your liver floppy and all that. Eventually ketosis kicks in and you stop feeling hungry, but the first 4-5 days can really mess with your head. You feel slow and stupid and can't focus on anything, you're hungry enough to eat your desk, and your mind will straight up tell you lies about how you should totally just have a little something, it'll be fine, it's not a big deal.

People say you get a burst of energy after a few days, but those people are full of it. The hunger feeling does eventually go away, but none of the rest of it does.

Yeah, that’s more of a thought experiment about what happens when you start using unreasonably high numbers. Yuddites, on the other hand, are nuts for that kind of stuff.

It works, because they are, as a group, an ad absurdum argument against some forms of utilitarianism, like how reducing-suffering.org is inadvertently an argument against veganism and vegetarianism as ethical positions.

"Animal suffering is bad, therefore let's trigger mass extinctions and collapse the biosphere to just insects and jellyfish. This might have the additional benefit of preventing humanity from spreading to additional planets."
