The real question is, why isn’t there just one international plug socket

[@TaraCyn]

Because they would all fight about which design is best and cause another war

[@TaraCyn]

@@danielarnold9042 Personally I think so and I live in the UK. I was joking because of how many disputes there have been when countries try to work together

[@maumue]

​@@danielarnold9042 maybe fair, but some (possibly even most) are close if not even regarding safety, and I personally find the UK one way too bulky to be remotely usable (I live in Switzerland, we have way smaller ones that are still quite safe), but we have like 3 outlets in the wall space you have one in, and I can't imagine how bulky power strips must look... anyway, just personal opinions and thoughts

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.

@3:36, most US plugs don't have a switch on their outlets. The fuse panel is where you disable your outlets. People don't disable their outlets from the fuse panel since it also disables an entire room's circuit. Ideally, people only disable their fuse panel when replacing an outlet etc.

[@tigrafale4610]

It's nice to be able to switch off a plug without having to unplug the thing plugged into it. I switch off my charger when not using it but never unplug for example

[@adamgreene9938]

@@tigrafale4610 Most things that you'd actually want to turn off will have switches on the appliance itself. That way you don't have to turn the entire socket off for just one item. If I have a TV and a lamp plugged into the same outlet, I can turn just the lamp on and leave the TV on. It also seems like a pain to reach under my desk and find the switch on the wall instead of just turning it off from the lamp. Do your lamps not have switches on them?

3:33 But when nothing is connected to an outlet, no power is drawn from the grid. This is why you're supposed to unplug unnecessary stuff from outlets before going on vacation, idle TVs, PCs, etc. take energy. If nothing's plugged into the outlet no power is drawn from the grid anyway

[@Conor1_23]

But isn't it easier to just flick a switch than pull out the plug? Especially for things like you said TV & PC as it may be hard to unplug it from the socket instead of just pressing a switch

[@sshortcuts3994]

I don't see how it's a lot easier to switch it off than just drag it out since you are still going to have to do it on the floor. I would understand a cable extension with a switch like on the table

[@Conor1_23]

@@sshortcuts3994 my reasoning is that alot of the time you can just barely reach the plug so you have to do the thing were you wiggle it until it comes out, so it would be easier if you could just press a switch
