Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

That's... a possibility.
There was a study about a large percentage of the population confusing "thirst" with "hunger", which lead them to eat instead of hydrating, which lead to overeating since food has a lower water content (than water, duh), when not also having a high salt content leading to more thirst (in a vicious circle), and being one contributing cause to overweight.
I don't think it's a glitch per se; I used to regularly go only twice a day... until I put a 5L jug next to the PC, would take a drink every short while, and go every maybe 2 hours. Then, when lying in bed after surgery, I had to ask for an extra 1L container because the first one had kind of overflown... so yeah, the capacity is there (fortunately the sheets were all drenched in sweat, so had to ask for a change anyway).
Does not sound fun. Hope you're well recovered from that now.
Tend to be underweight, and should probably be eating more rather than less, but oh well. Wonky signals all round!
