@@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

​@@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

@@Dann.y because often power points are behind furniture and it’s easier to flick a switch than to have to pull the cable out.

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

​​@@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.

@@LoganT547 yeah that sounds about right, thanks for explaining it :)

@@gl_you4948 apparently yeah

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

@@tigrafale4610i dont see the need to turn it off tho

@@tiktoks4yall_. What about a PC or your TV with LEDs that are always on.

@@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?

@@adamgreene9938 for me the lamps in my house have a switch at the wall and on the lamp

@@aluesa342 yah that's why we give no f's most time ig

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

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

@@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

​@@sshortcuts3994imagine every time you wanted to turn the light on or off, you had to plug a wire into the wall

@@Conor1_23 I didn't say it was optimal, I'm just disallowing misinformation. It definitely is easier to flip a switch than pull a plug, I'm just stating facts.

@@Alizer14 I dunno either i just saw a few people saying it so i just did it aswell XD

@@FitzyDoes bruhh

Why so? Im interested in the reason coming from a place you cant do that (EU type F socket)?

its not dangerous since the plugs are designed for that... usb is exactly the same, are you turning off your phones usb port before plugging it in or out?

Well we switch the power point on that the USB is connected to, when plugging in our devices

yes :3

Hi to myself😂

No

Nope they are just 3 separate outlets

And it’s compatible with most of the of Europe

It’s compatible with the one of the netherlands

Eu

They are just type C and type F plugs. Usually type C for household appliance (fridge, dishwasher, washing machine etc...) and type F for small devices such as battery chargers, lamps, TVs

True

One disadvantage of them is the pins bend really easily.

@@maxrburgess how… I’ve never seen a bent pin for Australian power plugs. They are solid metal…

@@ScratchOMaticyeah, never seen a bent plug pin from Australian plug, and yet, even if you try you’d need to use a hammer or something similar

Wtf-

No just no

first carterpcs, now jack????

Why has this migrated from carterpcs to Jack 💀

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.

… then when a kid puts a fork in it it starts flowing again. All outlets stop outputting electricity when you take the plug out.

So does ours, but we're not stupid enough to keep a socket live when its empty

and when we turn off our switches, the electricity also STOPS FLOWING

​@@JSO18 By that point, it's just natural selection

​@JSO18 EXACTLY(sarcasm)... but really you're right I was wrong.

yes very true

No but better than most😊

there must be some place to just switch sides like a highway clover like looking thing or an X with a bridge or tunnel for one side so they dont interfere with each other

tom scott is british... imagine believing him with his biased opinion, theres a reason why so many countries even major british colonies use european plugs and not british plugs
