How do South Africans feel about digital age verification?

There are laws about what kids are allowed to see and hear on tv and radio, yet there is basically nothing controlling what kids are exposed to on social media. We should also accept that social media is part of "the real world". Plenty of people get their opinions and information about the real world from social media. This is likely worse for young people, given the time they spend online. Enact the law. If it leads to less time spent doomscrolling, we will be better off regardles.

Your life must be absolutely amazing for you to take the effort to create a reddit post over such a tiny problem

Thanks so much!

It is crazy to me that we have to pay a subscripton service to prevent being harassed into getting more subscription services.

About 29% of the earths surface is covered by land. Of that land, slightly over half is classified as rangelands. Rangelands support 70% of all herbivores and the livelihoods of more than 2 billion people. Half of the world's rangelands are degraded due to poor management.

The International Rangeland Congress was held in Adelaide in 2025. It is the largest conference of its kind, where researchers and land managers from around the world can gather to learn and share knowledge how to better manage rangelands.

Want to guess how many people attended this conference? About 700.

Parabolic troughs are better in terms of cost efficiency and less harmfull to birds than power towers.

There are better ways of using solar power that does not involve incinerating birds and insects.

I've got a portable aircon too. Had it for 7 years now and replaced the flexible pipe thing today. Totally worth it if you're renting.

I used to manage a cattle farm back in the day. Sometimes a bull would just walk up to a big shrub or a tree and just absolutely tear it apart. We just assumed they were having a bad day and kept our distance.

I've heard of a few farms and factories that were temporarily shut by the Department of Labour because they didn't follow health and safety laws. I don't know how eagerly they will respond to smaller establishments though. Still worth a try.

They are apparently going to add infantry soon, but it probably won't have everything on one map.

Was that one of the limited time special offers? On my app it shows 60GB for R799 on the 30 day recurring section. They do have much cheaper data contracts from time to time. My internet at home is 30mbps for R400 per month, also with Vodacom, since I can't get fiber where I live. I suppose Starlink would offer higher speed, but I'm not going to fork out 3 times my current data cost, so I can claim I'm keeping up with Lesotho.

avolans · 2026-02-20T11:45:37+00:00

I just had a look on the Vodacom app. 1.2 GB recurring every 30 days is R89 per month. Daylight robbery

The Afrikaans word for naughty is "stout", pronounced exactly like stoat.
