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!

@GroupNebula563 @th @ErinRose not really I think? that looks alarming at first but if you understand how a UK plug works, it is relatively intuitive that this is electrically sound.

I've also encountered the occasional live ground wire before so i would under no circumstances jab a metal key into a socket šŸ˜…
