[@sterlingodeaghaidh5086]

So to solve the confusion for anyone not in North America. We do not have switches on our outlets as the appliances we plug them into have the switches on them, this means that switches on the outlets are not necessary, we do have shielded outlets but their rare, becoming more popular tho. We can get switched outlets, they do exist however they are more expensive and less practical to use, but there really isn't much of a necessity with them as outside of fire risks which is already taken care of (should be anyway), they have no other purpose. Also, a new outlet is rather tight fitting with sockets, most people's experiences where the outlets are loose are from hotels and stuff where the outlets are used more often than in residential applications so the pins loosen over time.

The top pin of a uk plug can conduct electricity- it’s a ground or earth pin, and a lot of things still have that for safety. Look at your kettle lead, for example. It’s also not got a plastic sheath the way the conducting pins do, again for safety.

[@TeraChad23]

I may be wrong but i think devices made from metal usually have a metallic Earth pin to reduce the chance of electrocution, which is why things like fridges and kettles and stuff have the metal pins. I am probably wrong though

[@LoganT547]

​​@@TeraChad23It's a return path. In case electricity decides to take a wrong turn inside an appliance, it is redirected to the ground instead of the metal casing of the appliance. If you don't have an earth connection and the device is not double-insulated (Google it), current would go into the metal casing and shock an unsuspecting user. Also, you cannot be killed by electricity if you aren't touching the ground, as otherwise the electricity will go through your body and use you as a path to ground, which is usually where it wants to go anyways. Even worse if you have a cut or exposed tissue, as the inside of the human body conducts electricity far better than the outside. That includes your vital organs too.

There are many variants on this, but rarely do countries that drive on opposite side have crossings in the first place. There's those where the two sides split apart and swap around in some fashion. There's those where one lane crosses over the other as an intersection and is then on the other side (usually done at the toll). There's also places that doesn't have anything, because the road doesn't even have lanes.

What I'll say about Australia (which includes the forgotten land of Orcs and Hobbits, New Zealand, if we must) regarding power sockets, they are a primative version of the UK's, just upside-down and the "powered" terminals are at 45°. Also historically there were separate socket and switches, although always wired together... occasionally there will be one without a switch, usually mounted in a place that is inaccessible (eg. the ceiling mounted home theatre projector or motor for a screen).

The 3rd pin on the Aus/China/NZ plug is ground, so it grounds the device, it's not required but anything that has a high power draw, kettle, fridge, microwave etc all have them.

[@unamanic]

Others have said it also, but in the US almost everything you’d actually want to turn off already has a switch on the device. The one exception might be phone chargers, but the current draw when not actually charging is pretty minimal.

[@mehallica666]

But that doesn't stop the socket AND the cable still being live. Almost every device also has a switch in the UK, but devices can fail, short and even set alight (not great when unattended). A constant source of power isn't ideal and a switch is much more convenient than unplugging, particularly in hard to reach places.

Australia has the superior socket. You’re welcome.

You definitely deserve more recognition for this!

I live in New Zealand and the power socket design is the same as Australia's and China's. For some reason I had zero idea how different they were in different countries. At least I can agree with Jack on how weird it seems to not have a switch.

[@Ftiles7]

The power point is the weirdest adoption of them all. it is officially called a Type I socket, and is used in Australia, NZ, Papua New Guinea, China, Argentina, and Uzbekistan.

Q: How do you know someone is from the UK? A: Because they can't stop telling you how good their plug sockets are.

[@The-Master-Chief]

Australia has the best power socket

[@LGPGPlays]

yes very true

[@tperm4923]

No but better than most😊

I noticed that you haven't talked about Türkiye at all in your recent videos. Even if it contains an important detail about Türkiye. Is there a problem between you and Türkiye?
