    Some possible reasons:

    Nutritional factors:

    • Lack of protein, fiber, or healthy fats, which help promote satiety

    • Highly processed foods that are calorie-dense but nutrient-poor

    • Blood sugar spikes and crashes from refined carbohydrates

    • Insufficient micronutrients, though this is less likely to cause immediate hunger

    Other common causes:

    • Dehydration - thirst is sometimes mistaken for hunger

    • Habit or routine - eating at certain times regardless of actual hunger

    • Emotional eating - stress, boredom, or other emotions triggering food cravings

    • Sleep deprivation - disrupts hormones that regulate hunger (ghrelin and leptin)

    • Eating too quickly - not giving your brain time to register fullness (takes about 20 minutes)

    • Certain medications or medical conditions

    Food composition matters: Foods high in protein, fiber, and healthy fats tend to keep you satisfied longer, while foods high in refined sugars and simple carbs can leave you feeling hungry soon after eating, even if you consumed plenty of calories.

    If this is happening regularly, it might be worth tracking what you eat and how you feel afterward to identify patterns, or consulting with a healthcare provider if you’re concerned about underlying issues.

    The tipping system is fucked, but that doesn’t at all change the fact that it’s baked into the system. EVERYONE (in that moment) expects you to to tip; so if you don’t, you’re effectively stealing from the server.

    If you don’t want to tip, your only options are to either not eat out at restaurants, or to find restaurants that have “Hospitality Included” service (a trend which I’m thankful to see growing – albeit slowly).

    It’s an older expression I’ve never really understood or liked, but here you go (help from gemini)

    “” The expression “It’s a gas” likely originated from Irish slang, where “gas” meant “a joke” or “something frivolous”. This usage gained traction in the 1920s and 1930s within the African American community during the Jazz Age, and James Baldwin used it in print in 1957. It was further popularized by the hippie movement in the 1960s.

    Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

    Irish Slang: The earliest documented use of “gas” to mean “joke” or “frivolity” is in Irish slang, appearing in print by James Joyce in 1914.

    Jazz Age: This usage of “gas” spread within the African American community during the Jazz Age of the 1920s and 1930s.

    James Baldwin: The phrase “It’s a gas” appeared in print for the first time in 1957 in a short story by James Baldwin.

    Hippie Movement: The expression was further popularized by the hippie movement of the 1960s.
