Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Never had that happen.
Maybe you've never been hungry enough.
If I had to guess the evolutionary mechanism here would be to stop animals from eating too quickly after a period of starvation.
Might just be mechanical. Engaging in wide scale catabolism certainly isn't gentle on the body. Your muscles physically ache from the action, after all.
Yeah, and it might be different from person to person.
I've most definitely been more than hungry enough (starving myself to the point of losing my sense of hunger for 2.5 years), and yet I cannot honestly say I'd ever been "nauseous" from it.
Dizzy, disoriented, yes. But nausea very very rarely happens to me, in extreme, prolonged, vehicle-related circumstances, or sickness for example.
I wonder if nausea is just a consequence of the dizziness, in people that do get nauseous from being dizzy, instead of a direct consequence of metabolism.
You will definitely feel something akin to nausea if you fully deplete your glycogen stores, which is a much more extreme short term shock to the gut (long distance runners know the feeling). Although if you consider nausea to only mean feeling like throwing up, maybe you wouldn't even call it nausea if you don't get that particular symptom.
Long distance runner here. Never felt nausea after a run. Intense hunger yes, feeling sick no. My ex used to feel sick if she was just late for a meal. I'd never encountered that in somebody before. I just assumed that she was wired up incorrectly like that thing where some people sneeze if they step into bright sunlight.
Yeah, sounds about right.
Yeah i get spells of dizzy weakness out of hunger but never nausea.
I looked it up a while back because it would happen to me often when I forgot to eat. It seems to be because your stomach produces acid and if there’s a buildup without anything to break down then it gets irritated.
If you have very routined eating habits you may produce extra stomach acid in anticipation of a meal.
When I was doing chemo I welcomed the hunger specifically because it allayed any nausea I was getting. Honestly I think the other comment in this thread might be right about the dizziness because that has never nauseated me either. I personally would be inclined to think people are misinterpreting their low blood sugar, but we all have unique bodies that respond differently to their environments.
It’s definitely nausea for me, I would feel like I’m about to throw up even though my stomach was empty. I’m t1 diabetic and have plenty of low blood sugar events and that never makes me feel nauseous so it’s not that.
I looked it up a while back because it seemed so counter intuitive and the site said it’s because you’re body will produce extra stomach acid in anticipation of food and if that doesn’t come then your stomach lining gets irritated.
I guess I have never eaten at regular points in the day long enough for my body to be conditioned for that. I have always eaten when I get hungry rather than by meal (barring school lunch).
The English language has a lot of different kinds of hunger hiding behind a single word too, there are these little hunger pangs you might start feeling a few hours after eating, but those aren't capital H hunger. If Its been more than 12 hours you will get hungry weakness where it might feel like you are starving, but you really aren't and you kinda resume normal functioning if you push past it. After 24 hours capital H Hunger has arrived, you are starving and burning pure body fat and running low like a candle. There is also hunger more like malnutrition where you are chronically underfed and certain bodily functions have been subprime for months or years. Shit even low blood sugar is gets called hunger. It can be kinda hard to know what kind of hunger a person is experiencing unless you know the full context or ask more questions.
