Biblically-accurate power outlet
Maypop the Dragon@PurpleJillybeans is this some kind of international outlet
@maypop_neocities I'm not sure what it is TBH. It's on the back of my air conditioner, and it's just cut out of the plastic. It's not an actual outlet.
Ironically, the AC is designed to run on 120V power...
bluestarultor@PurpleJillybeans @maypop_neocities It's a plug store. When you go to put the unit away and roll up the cord, you slap the prongs in there to keep it off the ground.
They chose a universal design because they didn't want to have to cast and match a bunch of different body shells to go with the different plug styles.
Bill, organizer of stuff@bluestarultor @PurpleJillybeans @maypop_neocities This is the correct answer. I'm fascinated by these things.
dominic@PurpleJillybeans @maypop_neocities it's a place to store the plug, I imagine?
Andriashould have had a explicit warning.

StarkRG@kkarhan @PurpleJillybeans Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a really thick and sturdy limb here and say that probably violates several regulations in several different countries.
@StarkRG @PurpleJillybeans yeah, Switzerland basically bans any foreign socket useage in it's borders for #ElectricalSafety reasons alone...
Dave@PurpleJillybeans The only way that's going to fit a NZ plug is upside down. Fsck knows whether the phase and neutral are even going to be the right way round...

@PurpleJillybeans if it's like the one I've seen before, it's just for holding the plug to help keep the cable out of the way, not for power

@PurpleJillybeans oh no, you could plug in a type I plug upside down? this is horrifying. I love it
skye (evil)@PurpleJillybeans ok so how many plugs maximum could you fit here at the same time

1) And the priests of Eu-rop after much meditation announced the voltage shall be 210. 2) A rejoicing was heard through those lands. 3) But across the Attl-antic waters, the acolytes of Ed-is-on hardened their hearts on the words from afar. 4) โWhat has been 110 shall remain 110,โ they exclaimed. 5) And in division, the world remained. 6) And in confusion and strife, travelers crossed the seas.

DamonHD@pomCountyIrregs @PurpleJillybeans Or some part of Japan's main island...

@pomCountyIrregs @PurpleJillybeans pretty sure it was Westinghouse, not Edison. Edison's preference was DC as far as I know
@beeoproblem @PurpleJillybeans I thought Tesla was the AC guy.
Edison, a bit of an ip bully, came to mind first and woe be to any one who thinks my post as a true chronicle.
@pomCountyIrregs @PurpleJillybeans my understanding is that Westinghouse did generation and transmission. Based on wiki Tesla sold/licensed his motor and transformer designs to Westinghouse who built the power plants and distribution network.

acb@PurpleJillybeans A 3-pin Australian plug would have its earth pin floating in the middle of the large hole there, which Iโm sure is perfectly fine.
turmoni@PurpleJillybeans I want to boost this but I also worry that boosting it will bring more people thinking that there's a safety issue here when there's clearly no electrical contacts wait effectively nobody follows me that's not going to be a problem at all boosts
Derek Martin@PurpleJillybeans itโs like a biblical angel with many eyes
Very Human Robot@PurpleJillybeans I don't see it doing the three-round-pegs-in-a-row Italian variant of the euro plug, though!
Seems like an oversight

It doesn't cover either the French Type-E or the German Type-F (shuko) since both require ground pins from the outlet side.
