Britain's is the chad of the plug world. Sturdy and strong and out on its own.

Stepping on them would never happen. When do you ever keep plugs where there's that chance?

>picking anything other than AU

Look at the image again. It's wireless.

Our plugs are rarely box shaped like that, usually they're like that US one but circular. So no they'll basically never be in a facing up position for you to step on them.

well, one of those is the right way and the others are retarded

Not always especially for kitchen appliances and it's handy to have.

success breeds jealousy

I think swiss is best because of the amount of female outlets per area is more efficient.

>thinking putting a switch on your outlet is exclusive to certain types of socket designs

Japan is the same as usa.

The kettle style EU ones are really good but the thin ones are fucking shit

They are the most popular ones, because they are the superior ones.

How comes that the japanese uses the american system :thinking:

230V>110V

This is a fact.

>pluglets

if you can fit a plug only one way, it's trash.

the eu one has unironically been proven to be the best
why doesnt everyone else just start changing to it?

american occupation
they make large amounts of electronics for the american market

Do you even know one wire is safe to touch and the other not?

all wires are safe to touch cuz they're in rubber

The right US plug looks very nice, I'd love to plug it in sometime.

Why are the EU/UK plugs so huge?

That list also does not include industrial/commercial plugs which also have their own batch of incompatible formats.

So you have less chances to die while pluging/unpluing. Unlike the rest of the world, our lives have value.

its safe to remove even if it is actively malfunctioning

Parts of Korea and China use Britbong plugs?

We have these too. Seems like it would be a pain having to unplug every time.

it's shit

What do you have to unplug to turn it off?

>Korea
Are you blind?
>China
It's probably just Hong Kong

Not here, IT masterrace

>When your infrastructure is so shit that you need to build fuses into every electrical plug

>actively malfunctioning
I'm still having trouble figuring out the proper use case for this. If the malfunction is happening at the appliance end, why would there be any trouble in unplugging it (outside of the appliance dancing around)? If the malfunction is at the wall outlet itself, usually that would indicate cord or plug damage, which would beg why anyone plugged it in anyway. The EU plugs look more like they are designed to prevent accidental unplugging.

The electrocution was 11 people two years ago.

if the appliance is malfunctioning it can cause electrical issues back towards the line/plug
eu plug is THICC as insulation against this and powerline issues
sparks and shit can't fly from it and the amount of insulation prevents electricity striking around partially by virtue of properly covering the socket when plugged
also the thiccness works to prevent electricity finding a route even if the plug is overloaded and starts melting/blows up a little

what of it? the prongs are on the socket side, actually really nice if you need to well, ground yourself for whatever reason

why the hell does argentina use our plugs? southern hemisphere thing?

which was originally meant to replace the eu plugs we still have but obviously noone gave a shit

>many outlets have Australian one only
Yes. Because it's the official one. For almost 20 years. Every building that got its wiring done in the last decade should have it, and the old one with the round prongs has already been phased out.

true, stepping on a UK plug is worse than stepping on a stonefish

I don't really care about the shape of the plug but I'll always be butthurt about only having 120 volts.

Every plug is to be treated equally, and integrated into the community. Standard plugs are an invention of the bourgeois to oppress the proletariat. Marx and Engels, not Hayek and Friedman, ok? Praise the party.

I thought collectivism would encourage standardization desu. I reckon it's more to do with the sanctions: forcing them to import a clusterfuck of electronics from different places.

US plug master race.

the americans one's are disgusting

According to a few random comments I found, apparently it was done to difficult the importing of electronics not made for the Argentine market (as it, it doesn't have the proper voltage and such).
