What satisfices you?

I came across a word today that I cannot recall coming across before although I gather it was coined in 1947.

To satisfice

verb, FORMAL, 3rd person present: satisfices

"to accept an available option as satisfactory."

"Satisficing is a decision-making strategy or cognitive heuristic that entails searching through the available alternatives until an acceptability threshold is met." ~ wiki

Do you have any examples of your own satisficing?

Snickers

My thread title may be wrong.

"What satisfices you?"

That treats it like a transitive verb.

Maybe it should be like this:

What makes you satisfice?

I sometimes feel I’m back in 1962; the days of condensed milk and the weekly teaspoon of cod liver oil and bread sprinkled in salt. Having given up alcohol, ultra processed and sugary foods. I make do a whole bar of high cocoa content chocolate once a month.

It can feel like being in prison.

Of course two people can die at the same age, but the healthy one lives better, while the unhealthy one is in and out of doctors offices, taking lots of pills, operations, and basically bed ridden for years before final death.
