I dunno but changing fuses is a pain in the cunt

Danish plugs are the best because they make me smile back at them. :)

it's bad design if you don't belong to the European standard.

Yes, it fits into the socket WAY more snugly

yank plugs feel incredibly flimsy in comparison

what's the deal with those sissy italian plugs

>Top tier
Germany
Russia
Italy

Literally the comfiest ones

You don't even need to look, they always fit

Success breeds jealousy

Honestly the only plugs that shouldn't be wiped from history are the Danish, Swiss and maybe US plugs. I won't comment on my own plug.

Would happily accept a transfer to Danish or Swiss

US plugs don't even earth. What the fuck is wrong with you.

who cares about a bunch of fucking plugs jesus so mundane

They don't even have switches lad, they're on all the time and visibly spark when plugged in. US plugs are the shame of humanity.

the voltage there is so low test that getting shocked wouldn't do anything anyway

Having safety features prevents natural selection and is therefore morally wrong

>Is he right about British plugs being superior to American and European plugs?
We've been having what is in this pic labeled as EU/Germany/South Korea like forever.

this

Danish or Swiss it is then

>be american
>want to charge hyper realistic BBC vibrator (TM)
>slightly miss socket
>shitty flimsy plug is bent out of shape and completely useless
>go to bed blueballed
>with shoes on

>TFW we use sino-australian plugs
You kangaroo sons of bitches use 220V RMS? Or 110 gay american volts?

Also wtf, Chinese outlets look like sad Chinese people xddddd :--------D

Why would people want sockets that require a standardized plug shape to fit in it? Way less possible configuration.

Even the sockets are cute in Denmark

sockets here spark when you plug things into them

How the fuck did the world end up with so many different types of plugs

British one is so much simpler than everyone else.

>have to use a shitty adapter for my PC cables
I genuinely do not know how you continentals do it
it bends out of the socket so easily

how the actual fuck do you bend a schuko plug?

Ah yes

>it bends out of the socket so easily
Literally how

>big heavy power thingie box on it
>sits even slightly above or below the socket
ta da

Schuko is the big round plug, when it's plugged in you're likelier to break the entire socket before the plug would yield. The Europlug is flimsier but that should never ever be used for computers since it's not grounded.

The plugs were the only good things the brits ever gave us.

I don't understand what you are describing.
Some sort of adapter? I have a regular cable from the wall to the computer for my desktop, and the laptop has the AC/DC adapter mounted in the middle of the cable.

Wtf,i hate america now.This must be creation of a wh*Teiod

You're welcome for the good street sign font too

Best is Japanese followed by Chinese and north American. The Danish is cute however.

I really like how you can turn outlets off in Britain

The brits have a switch for every outlet. It's brilliant. You don't have to unplug the plug every time you want to turn something off, if it doesn't have a switch.

yes

wtf had no idea this was a thing unique to us

Israeli plug being the degenerate deviant

Brazil is first world

Here in Italy most devices that need grounding are actually sold with french-german plugs. Fortunately, by forcing them a bit and by not really caring about safety they can be used with every post 50s Italian outlet.

So no earthing pin on russian, german, korean or japanese. WTF i thought these were developed nations.

A lot of the commonwealth nations/ previous british colonies use the british plug at 220/230V i think.

Pretty nice because i don't have to bring any travel adaptors when i visit these nations

They were mostly all designed before the mid 20th century when everyone started to care a lot more about standardizing international things.

Also, electricity in the household has a lot of varying amperages and voltages across different countries. While most plugs would work just fine it would be very dubious in regards safety to run 220v European electricity through a standard American plug with its thin prongs designed for 110v. In those countries, we use a different plug for 220v outlets used for stoves and washers/driers.

>Best is Japanese

Why? It's the same shitty prongs as our outlets except now you need to have this fucking retarded external ground wire running off the device and into a little node into the outlet.

Make note this image shows a special outlet with an internal ground identical to ours, those aren't standard for Japanese plugs, just this external ground cable.

>Why would people want sockets that require a standardized plug shape to fit in it?

Because the plugs are standardized too, dumbass.

What? Do you love having bricks on your plugs that take up 3 slots on the outlet?

...

they just don't want to electrocute the earth you retard

>americans plug their feet

>Chinese
Umm it's the Australian outlet sweetie, we created it and the Chinese copied us

We do it too

Got too boozed too early last night and had to take myself home

Bit embarrassing :/

German plugs do have earthing though and it's easily far better than other pluglets weaklings

This would literally never happen unless you have no nerves in your foot

German plugs are so fucking bad. Hardly even hold their own weight.

our sockets need revised. too archaic. we're supposed to be the "new world" but still have shoddy electrical plugs. lazy as fuck.

Yes.

True and it is handy, though some people will still unplug it because they're paranoid.

They also take up less space because they don't stick out.

No, they're overengineered. Schuko plugs are superior.

AUSTRALIA GOT CHINKED

the EU one is the only logical one

>US plugs have no ground
Have you ever been to the US, mate?

>Schuko
what the fuck. it isn't good. Type A or B is best

Wtf I hate Schuko now
