For me, the difference between ration and hoard is the uhh…rationality of the plan.

Rationing suggests a deliberate, calculated plan: we’ll eat this much at these particular times so our food lasts that long. Hoard seems more ad hoc and fear-driven: better keep yet another beat-up VGA cable, just in case.

Counterexample: animals hoarding food for winter time, etc.

Rather a corroborating example than a counter, if you believe how many nuts squirrels lose sight of after burying them.

Exactly. How many random computer dongles and power supplies get buried in sundry boxes that are effectively lost to the world?
