      US electrical plugs are the worst.

      I still regularly manage to electrocute myself on those death designed shit plugs that allow uounto touch love metal if you’re not very careful

      Then the “Gravity will pull your plug out of the wall” design which is just amazing too.

      Then the “bends by breathing at it” strength

      I could go on, but you get it.

        UK plugs are the best and can double up as non destructive landmines.

        i know you meant live metal. But I love the concept of love metal. There’s a spark between us

        Electrocute means to be killed by electric shock. Unless you’re being reincarnated again and again I think you mean to say that you’ve managed to shock yourself regularly.

          Electrocute means neon green and attractive. I will not be taking questions.

          Collins and m-w both have “kill or [severely] injure”, whereas Cambridge has only “kill”. So I guess it can be used their way sometimes some places?

        And yet i haven’t had those problems. If your plugs fall out then the springs in your outlet are old, get a nee outlet.

          That confirms the shitty design. Decent outlets don’t require springs to keep plugs from falling out.

            the springs are also how the metal make contact. something has to hold them in place and make contact.

          Plus don’t just go for the cheapest ones. The ones I’ve seen like this are cheap outlets made in the 70s, so a combination of old and crappy, but older outlets can be more sturdy and non-crappy modern ones appear sturdy
