Which is the best one?

and why the fuck was there a need to have a whole bunch of different types in the first place? Who needed to be a special snowflake first?

>god tier
the one my country uses


>shit tier
the one your country uses

The Russian one.

Very obviously the German one.

German
No

Denmark :D

Any with an offset ground protruding ground. That way you'll always be sure to have either live or return or whatever they're called on the correct pin.
The reason why there are so many is because they were made in times when the world was significantly less global.

ruski here
we are using german version since early 2000's

>we share power plug typ with worst korea
>not japan

I thought we were comrades beyond ww2

A reminder that all mudslime countries/pre-caliphates are disregarded in their power.

Sockets disregarded.

Double this. And it suck so hard to have giant Shuko plug in fucking 40W-rated laptop.

german>french>NA>the rest

>and why the fuck was there a need to have a whole bunch of different types in the first place?

Because they were designed before globalism, so every country thought they could do better.

If you weigh in safety, usability and compatibility, Schuko and Europlug come on top. The danish plug is cute.

German

CEE plugs used on boats for shore power and industrial applications.

They mate together so well, the three pin and multi pin ones.

SO SOLID

SO WATERRESISTANT

SO BEEFY

Danish plug a qt

Those don't define hot and neutral prongs though, which is not good in certain fringe cases. Sure it's slightly easier to have a universal plug that goes in any way, but that shouldn't be a priority for plugs.

Too bulky for regular use.

Happy face is best face

putin nigga is right
OP, you've got outdated info

>which is not good in certain fringe cases.

Such as?

>but that shouldn't be a priority for plugs.

It actually matters a lot. If you make one hypothetical godly plug that does everything perfect, it wouldn't matter if it was not usable natively anywhere; you'd need to buy converters which in turn downgrade it to only the features of the less safe ones.
Schuko is so ubiquitous that this is not an issue.

So which socket is left then? Only Japan?

>Such as?
I'm not really sure what exactly it could cause, but it requires some real chink engineering anyway. I thought it could feed back into the grid wrongly or something.

>It actually matters a lot.
I didn't say it didn't matter a lot, I said it shouldn't be a priority. Safety is your priority, usability is second.

>it wouldn't matter if it was not usable natively anywhere; you'd need to buy converters which in turn downgrade it to only the features of the less safe ones.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about being able to plug in devices upside down or rightside up.

German
t. lives in us

German Shuko is too bloated for small stuff.

The Brazilian one because it's actually the approved world standard. Of course nobody uses it, but still, technically standard.

Also, the graphic is wrong. The Swiss and Brazilian plugs are different. The ground pins are like 5mm apart, so they're incompatible.

You just can't handle how stole these plugs are.

>Pluglets, when will they learn?

the italian schuko ofc

Imagine having a phone charger that's at least that size. Shit's ridiculous mate.

The Denmark one. It's the only one that looks happy
In contrast to e.g. the Murican one, which looks like something pissed it off.

Lol, Russian socket have no Ground pin.

all recessed ones are good
the rest is trash

what the fuck is wrong with that isreali abortion of a socket?

jews can't into aesthetics for shit

French here
The German plug is objectively the best
Our is the second best

WROOOONG

Australian plug.
t. Australian

/thread

...

chink

There is the flat version for non-grounded plastic small suff

It would be manly as shit.

The Brazilian one.
Comfy and small.

Technically german one is the best but italian one has the best user experience

>le pol face xD

10/10

>allows to put your plug that requires goiunt to non-grounded socket
>bloated and heavy
>allows user to touch ground pins

Fucking NO WAY

The german one.

Sup Forums user who knows what he's talking about? Is this reality?

The german is objectively the best one

British >>> Italian > Danish > Israeli > Australian > American >>>> other > Yuroplug

Italian one is objectively the best

>small
>allows both 2 pronged and 3-pronged (grounded) plugs
>sturdy

give me one good reason why any plug is superior

I hear 220v is suburb at setting high rise immigrant housing on fire. I approve.

These

>Safety is your priority, usability is second.

Both need to be a priority in equal measure. You could make an ultra safe plug but if it is borderline unusable, then what is the point?

Easier to touch the exposed prongs because it's not recessed.

how do you even compete with this

not recessed

schuko objectively best

>Both need to be a priority in equal measure.
That's retarded, you don't compromise on safety for usability, which is what you're suggesting.
>You could make an ultra safe plug but if it is borderline unusable, then what is the point?
Nothing, but that's not what I'm suggesting. It's possible to not compromise on safety, while still being extremely usable.

Not recessed or schuko (ie. rest of europe) compatible.

This one is good however:

it also looks fucking retarded. that makes literally any other socket way superior.

no way that happens desu
it doesn't just sit there, it locks in place (sort of)
it's not like those shitty american sockets where the plug is barely being held in place

then at the very least go with the italian schuko, at least it's not retarded and limiting

Australian, it's secure unlike the rest that just hang there

>does not require an enormous block of a plug you could club someone to death with
>retarded
idiot

All of the EU standards work in South Africa too as far as I can see.

>If you weigh in safety, usability and compatibility, Schuko and Europlug come on top

You mean the UK plug.

It can definitely happen with some badly designed plugs.
Though there are more flaws if you do disregard that one, like not being able to touch the ground, it being unpolarized, and probably some others.

Shuko == shit

>UK plug.
>usability and compatibility
Are you an idiot? The fuses are extremely limiting and retarded, and their shape make them perfect foot murdering weapons. And they're compatible with fucking nothing.

Checked and screen shot taken. Well memed sir.

>he doesn't use 125A 400V plugs
How do you deal with the constant ridicule?

God tier: Grounded plug
Shit tier: Ungrounded plug

That's it. That's the only ranking that matters. Anything beyond that is autism.

Friendly reminder that the french plug is objectively the most homosexual of all of the plugs.

t. eurocuck

Size matters also

That only talks about them being safer, which I did not deny.

>what is security
Pic related is someone who dropped a coin between the socket and the plug
And this can't happen with europlug master race

check'ed

youtube.com/watch?v=UEfP1OKKz_Q

It's primarily a safety precaution so you don't plug your xVotlage device into another countries yVoltage power socket.

The real question is why can't we all the run the same god tier 240v.

As long as you live in a country with decent electrical standards this would never happen. Safety devices are in place for a reason - an RCD would trip the circuit before it got to the point in your pic.

Is more like c:
Maybe C:
Depends on what font you're using

+1 to this guy. he gets it.

Yes, let's just change the entire fucking power grid, that's cost-efficient.

I want Sup Forums to go back

>allows to put your plug that requires ground to non-grounded socket
this is not possible with sockets that follow the spec
>bloated and heavy
you mean robust and sturdy
>allows user to touch ground pins
how is this a bad thing? protip: touch one before doing any computer fix
>best
yes

Literally made me cry.
Have a good day sir.

>t. Gay
What a day to be proud isn't it?

True

>Its not a problems if the plug is not secure because the RCD is
It's not how it works, moron. Everything have to be safe.
In that case, a safe plug would prevent the RCD to broke, which is more convenient than "oops, I have to open the distribution board again"

But plug is best plug

>>allows to put your plug that requires ground to non-grounded socket
>this is not possible with sockets that follow the spec
You an simply insert it to Russian socket. Dround should be implemented as separate pin that forbids inserting unless your socket have required ground hole.
>>bloated and heavy
>you mean robust and sturdy
Thats good for washing machine, but bad for netbook charger.
>>allows user to touch ground pins
>how is this a bad thing? protip: touch one before doing any computer fix
Try touching your computer and this pin at the same time. (protip: call 911 in case you have shitty PSU)
>>best
>yes
NO

>hurr i can plug it into wrong socket then its dangerous
no shit sherlock, should screwdrivers also prevent you from plugging them into sockets?
>bad for netbook charger
use the thin version for netbooks
>i can get myself electrocuted if my psu is bad
how is this a problem of the plug? same thing would happen if you touch your computer while not wearing socks if your psu is broken

>You an simply insert it to Russian socket. Dround should be implemented as separate pin that forbids inserting unless your socket have required ground hole.
That would mean your ground isn't portruding, unless you have both a pin in the socket and the plug for ground.

>Try touching your computer and this pin at the same time. (protip: call 911 in case you have shitty PSU)
It should already leak through the ground in that case, which should've already tripped the earth breaker, and if it didn't it would still go through the pin instead of through you and through the pin. Also, the fuse would've already been triggered because of a short. And this would happen by just standing on the ground if your PSU is that shit.

Why the japanese doesn't have ground?

#YOLO

Because the nips are stuck in 70's and are still using ungrounded sockets.

They use special grounding cables for devices that require grounding. You'll have to screw those into a grounding pole next to the socket.

Summer fag detected.

kek, pretty sure #YOLO is too antique to be used by the mainstream now mate.

England Wallsockets are an abomination.

(Let's put fuses into every socket to save on copper.)

Wasted get
