Regardless of where you are, can we all agree that no one’s really perfected the electrical outlet yet?

NA plugs make contact without being fully seated, and can leave their live and neutral pins exposed. Worn outlets just let plugs fall out of them (I have 3 or so outlets in my apartment that are borderline unusable because of this).

British plugs are bulky and turn into caltrops when dropped on the floor.

European plugs have the same problem. And you only get like, one outlet per receptacle? Guess you’re shit out of luck if you wanna plug anything else in the same spot.

Most of the rest of the world just copied Europe or the UK.

I like Denmark’s plug though. Cute lil smiley face.
