The British 3 pin plug is superior to all other plugs. I miss it

Switzerland and Brazil use this weird as shit one and I kind of like it.

And no, I don't know why Switzerland and Brazil.

I don't think that's how electricity works.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Schuko is the only one anyone would ever need. Those gigantic tumors from the island are horrible. And don't come with the fuse argument. A fuse belongs in the electrical cabinet and is the last failsafe. GFCIs are the ones protecting you l, the appliance and the house.

It's certainly the one most likely to shank you if you step on it. Beyond that I'd rank it as the least space efficient plug. I honestly think it's the worst design I've seen.

"But it has built in fuses", I hear all the Brits say. This isn't the advantage you think it is. Why not put the fuses in the actual appliance with all the other components where it makes more sense to put them?
