I just watched a TikTok about how people used to plug in things to their light sockets when electricity was first becoming popular. And they kept calling the plug a light socket, what rule says it’s not a plug that screws in? And why shouldn’t plugs screw in? We have material science to make plugs and cables hard enough that if you kick the wire it still doesn’t come out. Electrical connections should be more secure. That’s all I’m saying.

      Fr I love my country’s plugs. So easy to hide away too because they aren’t very deep, you can get a unit right up next to them. Plus the safety improvements of the requirement for the top pin to be inserted to unlock the other 2, and having it connected to ground.
