1. Many are inclined to intuitively seize adversities with sweet fragrant chocolate.
2. Yes, and jam it all with the pancakes.
3. And on the contrary - you are used to stick stress!

These examples are from the internet. What do they mean exactly?
 
Saying they're "from the internet" isn't enough. When you quote someone else's words, you must credit them properly. Tell us the author of each sentence, along with the title of the book/article they're from, or a link to the relevant page of the website for each one.

These sentences are all taken from Reverso's corpora of translated texts—texts of diverse types, dialectic varieties and registers. The AI algorithms used pay no heed to grammaticality, sense, typos, or any other error. The sentences are all out of context and unsourced.

All three sentences here are bordering on completely senseless without any helpful context.
 
Imagine the following situation: you are stressed out, so you start eating a lot of desserts. What is the verb that signifies that you eat the desserts because you try to lower your stress level?
 
This is what the examples quoted are supposed to signify. You cannot say 'comfort-eat your stress' though, or 'he was comfort-eating his failure with chocolate.'
 
But they don't. They are bordering on meaningless, as juftrank told you.
 
This is what the examples quoted are supposed to signify. You cannot say 'comfort-eat your stress' though, or 'he was comfort-eating his failure with chocolate.'
They're not natural. We don't "comfort-eat something" unless it's the thing we're eating. Otherwise, it's intransitive. We "comfort-eat because of something". They should have been something like:
You cannot comfort-eat your way out of stress.
He was comfort-eating chocolate due to his failure.
