Care to elaborate what you mean by "the global south"?

You were downvoted for not googling "the global south" before asking. It means you think that the time of others is less valuable than your own.

Yea, it was a rhetorical question.

As the other commenter linked, it generally refers to "developing"/underdeveloped countries. Aka, countries with lower per capita GDP.

global north = anglo/scandi nations and the honorary westerners (israel, japan, s-korea, singapore)

global south is everyone else.
