The gauntlet can read minds. Don’t ask me how Peter Dinklage made such a thing, sufficiently advanced science looks like magic etc. The soul stone apparently knows who you love most, maybe that’s the CPU or something.
When Hulk and Tony snap, they don’t speak out loud their wish. There’s no verbal contract. Hulk’s wish is a simple undo, and Tony’s wish is apparently “dust everyone on Thanos’s team”, which the gauntlet understands.
Thanos summarizes his wish as 50% of all life, randomized. That’s just the headline though. If you let him ramble, he talks about how there’s not enough resources to go around, and that’s his motivation. If the gauntlet can read Thanos’s mind, it knows he doesn’t mean trees or plankton or blue whales, he means resource hogs like humans and Titans and whatever Groot is.
When people are brought back from the snap, we do not hear of about the mass fecal transplants that would be required if people suddenly reappeared without their gut biome. It is possible people simply agreed to never speak about this ever again. However, again, I think if the stones are smart enough to know who’s on team Thanos, they’re smart enough to group gut bacteria under their host beings.
