fellow British people: you don't have to pretend to love our plug sockets, you're allowed to dislike every aspect of this cursed island, it's okay 🧡

@ErinRose I love that UK sockets are compatible with Euro type F plugs!

@th @ErinRose usually I use scissors for this purpose, just to make it look more cursed

@ripper @th @ErinRose Is there some kind of contact that needs to be closed in that top connector for the bottom two to work?

@frank yeah the longer ground pin pushes on a plastic piece that opens the cover in front of the live and neutral

@gbrnt Wait! You have to unlock it for real? :o @frank

@gbrnt @frank (in addition to the button?)

@eest9 @frank noo it's just plugging the plug in that opens the shutters on the live+neutral! It's just to stop you poking things into those holes
