1. The power infrastructure 'block code' list is not an ongoing powercut scheme to save money, it's an emergency plan for critical shortage of power. It's been in place for over 50 years.

2. Africa is not made to look small on maps to brainwash you into thinking the continent is not important. It is a result of projecting a globe in a flat 2D format. If you search for map projections you can see there are many different ways to try and show the world in a flat view.

3. Cutting and pasting some text into the Facebook status message is not going to reset any algorithms or make previously 'hidden' posts appear. Facebook is a platform that generates money from it's users content, the algorithms for showing adverts and user content are designed to maximise this for facebook. (though you can try clicking the three dots on any adver you see on Facebook, click 'hide add' and select a reason why - it won't reduce the number of adverts you get, but at least Facebook will try to provide more relevant ones)
