Or... worst case... and this is a scary thing... developers think about optimizing around hardware resources.

Not being a developer myself, can you explain how this is some how a bad thing?

I think he was being sarcastic, as in, we should be optimizing around hardware resources.

Consider you provide neither evidence not anecdote to back up your claim,

If the complete answer was out there, we wouldn't be talking about it.

"I suspect some unknown, microbiome interaction is at play"

See, even you don't believe your own claim.

I was just spitballing; there may be many reasons why the hunger mechanism seems broken.

You have to admit that the majority of people are not like diligent you but are more like those bakery patrons. So the people on that bell curve end up all getting put together in one KFC bucket. And don't kid yourself, the drugs will be plan A for the majority if not already.

We wouldn't buy a 100 # bag of dog food, open it in the corner and let the dog feed itself--it couldn't do it. So I presume we are not designed to have constant food access either, be it donuts or salads. The snake in the article eats once a month...talk about intermittent fasting.

I suspect some unknown, microbiome interaction is at play, maybe made worse by it being attacked by the chemicals in our modern, man-made environments. Personally, I've noticed myself suddenly getting naggingly hungry upon just seeing food...I was fine seconds earlier.

I just delved into this deeply as ours failed after 12 years and I was weighing my options. I was looking for an all-electro-mechanical Speed Queen washer and spoke to an authorized repairman (who had toured the factory) and then a dealer who personally repaired them for 25 years before moving into sales.

Their washers available in the US today no longer have electro-mechanical timers, but rather electronic ones; this was to meet some (likely misguided) US regulations. But there are some models that still have the same non-electronic transmission drives of the previous models. The all-electro-mechanical Speed Queen washers are still being made in Wisconsin but are only sold in other countries like Mexico.
