Reporting on 2024 back-end of 2026.

These farkers are overpaid by a wide margin.

Are there a lot more males than females in SA, or are some women immortal?

Huh? What do you mean?

Huh? What do you mean?

If there were more male than female deaths after the age of 19, then logically there must be more males than females, or some females never die.

 

[ShaunSA]

After being recorded as one of the biggest causes of death in 2020 and 2021, Covid-19

Ohhh, likely a larger number of female deaths in their 80s and 90s. I am not going to open the document to confirm so that's my guess.

Yeah, it's exactly that. Women tend to live longer.

I was just being a bit obtuse...

Nope.

Males older than 14 flip from precocious to suicidal/stupid stunt mode.

 

[Smiggles]

ANC. They've killed millions since 1994.

 

[Scooby_Doo]

Yeah, it's exactly that. Women tend to live longer.

Yeah, that paragraph should have clarified the latter ages. I hear you now.

I know what they mean, it's just that the second part of the sentence quoted is poorly worded, and sadly I've got into the habit of taking the p1ss out of some of those articles.

Pretty sure it scans correctly. Unless we acknowledge that it is entirely wrong on the basis that 100% of all humans die, regardless of sex?

 

[Alexander the Straight]

Unnatural deaths account for only 13% of causes,and of that 13%.....75% is accidental.
I find this quite surprising in a country where violent crime has reached epidemic proportions.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

I didn't expect this but in SA, women make up 51% of population*, marginally ahead of men. Kind of similar to Europe %

AI result so not sure if accurate/

Yes, that's the point. They say that after the age of 19, more males die than females, which we know is just not possible as everyone dies eventually irrespective of genitalia.

But as I said before, I know I was being pedantic about it.

 

[vigras rojara]

You really shouldn't be particularly surprised about that.
