Which country has the best sockets and why is it Britain?

>sharing the same sockets with chinks

heh.

>the so called """"""german engienering""""""" on par with a literal who country from buttfuck nowhere in africa
kill yourselves germcucks

>plugs so large they can't fit on a power pack
>best

okay there, pops.

I think that's Worst Korea.

>Australian socket is literally an asian guy's face
>Same socket as China

I see you have finally accepted your heritage, Chang.

>internal fuses
>totally necessary and not just a cash grab

good goy.

Denmark, because it looks like a cute anime girl.

I was gonna say America, but I actually kinda like the simplicity of the nip one's and maybe the Italian ones.

denmark's socket is so kawaii its amazing that its not japan's

The best thing about british sockets is if somebody breaks in your house you dont need a firearm, you can just beat them to death with any of the 30 flails you have plugged in the wall

kek'd

Nigga that's south Korea

Everyone takes a pick of their plugs.
It's plug day!

>Not beating them with the hand held Hoover while sucking the fluid from their eye
Its like you don't even want to have fun

Why the fuck are there so many damned socket designs? You'd think that with international standards for things like the metric system, that electricity would basically have caught up to that kind of standardization, r-right?

we all know british sockets are the best

>Implying it's not cheaper.

>implying that isn't super logical

USA USA USA

TFW BRAZIL HAS SAME PLUGS

Denmark looks happy as fuck.

Legit and based!

Safest and sturdiest

In Brasil we have all of these sockets.
Its a actually a pain in the ass, Computer ones are standart US, some of the cooking stuff is Japan based, air conditioners are straya/china rest are russia/EU sockets.

Germany one because it's mine too.

Most secure, strongest connection, Just like ours.
Our connection was your connection in the past was it not.

Thanks British colonialism for sound electrical trade practices.

Japan most efficient.

SO what about swiss sockets?

Our power outlets remind me of Scream. They're still kinda shit though.

Yea that one looks like it was designed by Bob Ross

but...2 pins? How does earthing work?

Denmark's socket design should be the international standard.

Oh and ofc brasil/denm socket types for some of the stuff produced here, not all.

Seriously, chinks fucking stole our sockets???

Question for murkins and japs

Do your plugs have an up and a down or does it not matter how you put the plug in?

3 prong best prong

Hitler should have gassed the Algerians too.

>It's the best plug
>Because of the safety design
>OP asked about the socket
>The only content related to the socket is about the shutters
>British people don't believe in natural selection
>They wonder why they have a shitty gene pool

Look at this one...
Isn't it gorgeous?

Even the American sockets look triggered

Are we the only country who has switches on their powerpoints?

Denmark is a qt

Shits are as fuck to plug in in the dark thats why our plugs are shit

that is pretty neat. wish you guys had apply that level of engineering with sinks.

tits or gtfo

Reminds me of the Sega mega drive and all the other elctro tumors that you could addon to it. Wpuldnt it just pertrude from the wall and dangle ?

>no ground
Ishygddt

The german one is the best from engineering perspective because it has
a) mirror symmetry so you don't need to worry about which direction the connector goes
b) two ground prongs to ensure good electrical grounding
c) an indented receptacle that holds the plugged in connector firmly in place

....mother of god. what?

It's both a plug AND a socket. It'a called a switch -- I believe.
And can take everyone in. Such a BBP...

BR/Swiss types only started being used now.
Which fucked up even more the current situation.
Pretty much everyone here has conversors.

>Brazil
???

so...its not just one of those travel adapter things?

I'm honestly surprised that IEC connectors haven't become the international standard for power outlets

americas is all like
>the fuck?

UK has them.

Didnt knoe the slums had power

Why do Canadians try and shitpost? You are so bad at it that I actually feel sorry for you.

North American sockets are best sockets

you call that a socket?

closest thing we have in aus is a 413...

pic related.

It's 2016 Socket Odissey.
This one is a bit worn out, but still serves the purpose: letting you plug from space.

When you work offshore those things catch a hefty price. I still have like 15 of them which fit to various connections from around the world.

Noob motha fuckers always come on a ship with their laptops thinking all connections are the same.

Its a good thing I am there to sell them the items they require. At a modest profit mind you.

Didn't know maoris had access to computers

North American Union masterrace

they look so pissed off tho.

I recognise that one for India/Pakistan/South Africa

That's the old British plug

Crazy that they still use the plug we used like 60 years ago

Fuck you.

The chinks stole it, not us.

kek

The British one is manly as fuck

>Israel
What the actual fuck?

it's true. why do you have chink sockets ?

What, did you expect technological advancement to carry on after the ANC took over?

Good one.

Does this have anything to do with FIFA and Sepp Blatter making deals for the Worldcup in BR?

What the hell is with these indentions with France, Germany, and Brazil?
Whats wrong with Brazil? Did they finally learn the true meaning of football, and make sockets to honor the god John Madden?

You're surprised at chinks stealing technology?

So Italy, which hole do you like to plug it in?

I want to sexual the danish socket.

>moaris access to computers
>first world country

Go back to the slums

>Brazil
>ripping on NZ
Jesus Christ man. I bet a Maori village where they still do the unga bunga dance has more civilization than you

this senpai

All Japanese plugs fit into All American sockets, but not vice versa. SOME American plugs fit into Japanese sockets. If an American plug has the 3rd prong, it won't work in Japan.

The left and right on the sockets & plugs are not the same exact size, so there is often an up or down - some plugs have both sides small size, and those don't have an up or down. It's pretty easy to tell which way a plug goes into the socket, *barefoot since forever...

th-thanks bro. Fuckin' hue hues talking shit.

Raiden protects.

Absolutely this, I always have to get up and turn on the light to plug it in as it's quicker.
We should change to Denmark's socket design!

True

What do you think is the future for whites in SA my friend?

Do you think it will get better? Or will you guys end up migrating to Europe or Aus or something?

Fucking legend

Its to stop them from being yanked out easily because of their inferior two prong design.

Ah now that I look closer I realise that one hole is smaller than the other.

Never noticed it before. Guess that makes sense.

Could you theoretically just not plug in the third prong or do you risk blowing up the device, yourself, your house?

No clue, but i just hope this shit stops.

literally what?

>I'm actually a sparky and dont know what you just said

Rules of nature

>:D
you know which one I'm talking about

Not to be rude or anything but I dislike answering questions about the state of South Africa and its people in threads that have nothing to do with it.

Make a thread for that, I am sure some South Africans will tell you.

I think it's so children don't get electrocuted when they plug/unplug it, since you can't touch the metal part before it's actually disconnected from the socket.

...

Real universal ones: uni in + uni out are always filmsy.
On the contrary, things like: EU in = everythig out is very solid.

My parents got some crappy ones though. And I bought a wrong one by mistake.

Japan's is the same as the US was 60 years ago. At least they finally discovered polarized plugs!

The real fun in Japan is that half of the country is 50Hz and half is 60Hz. And they run on 110V rather than 117V, because someone picked the wrong voltage spec (RMS vs peak) when first trying to copy the US system.

>Compact
>Durable if the cord is good
>Trivial to fix if its not
>Provide safety by having max amperage over a circuit
>Special industry sockets allow for higher amperage while still taking normal plugs
>Fits surge protectors with absolute ease
It must really suck being a brit and having to choose between only powering four devices off a single plug.
Wanted to charge your phone? Sorry, that plug is taken up by your alarm.

That last slide took me by suprise

...

Yours look flimsy and weak. I bet they come out of the wall as soon as the vacuum reaches the end of its cord.

Crazy Australians and qualified electricians are welcome to wire their UK plugs to bypass the fuse. I bet yours don't even give you the choice.

...

>north american sockets look angry

top kek, someone post american kirby

Denmark's socket is easily the best.

Don't forget about Brazilian showers and poo bins.

...

240Volts best

Best one is US. Smallest and most compact.

Came looking for this video, thanks m8
don't forget to pay your youtube tax this fortnight

...

...

at least she's earthed ;)

99% of our electrical sockets are switched. Sparkies only generally install continuous feed sockets for ovens and boilers, but even they will be connected to a spur somewhere else.

...

The disputation is over with pic related. One socket rule 'em all.

has also the highest compatibility.

That's a really cute danish socket.

;)

triggered

Fuse is fucking useless now and you can plug it the wrong way around, bad design. German design is simply the best, it has all the good properties of the UK without the negatives.

...

>chink sockets
seems accurate

...

>only powering four devices off a single plug

Ive seen worst.

why is whatever the UK produces always the ugliest

>hawt plug porn

...

German sockets are best from a functional perspective.

You could probably just cut it off and not worry about it. We have power tools at work that have had the ground prong break off and never had any problems...but I am no electrical engineer

DENMARK DENMARK DENMARK HOHOHOHOHO :D :D EBIN

Obviously it is not required since we get along just fine.

Nope not triggered, its just boring seeing every thread with a South African in it turn into one about how shit South Africa is.

...

>shutters
literally nothing to do with the plug. I've seen Schuko with and without this feature.
>can't touch the wires halfway in
same with Schuko
>fuse
useless. everyone has a central fuse thingy.
>grounding
same with Schuko

>hurr durr, one of the best plugs
>out of the two plugs I know

Is this guy autistic?

i wanna plug that

murca fk ya

>you can plug it the wrong way around, bad design
How???

Australia's looks Chink just like your demographics.

Not politics.

Take it to any of the following:

>>>/reddit/

There's an interracial gangbang between gender fluid plugs.

>He doesn't have an earth pin

Europoor electronics, not even once.

That's why we have bigger power packs

Kek

I'm still waiting for some country to adopt a socket that looks like :^)

for you

You commit sudoku

...

The hole point of an internal fuse is to preserve copper during the copper shortage.

Fuck the chinese chose Australia for a reason ....

Get lost, Norsecuck.
Plugs and sockets is so deeply pol ypu should shut your mouth.
And if you don't understand what's going behind this convo, I'll gladly cum redpills in your arse until your lightbulb turns fluorescent.

Idiot.

>fuse
>useless. everyone has a central fuse thingy.

So you'd prefer your entire house to short circuit rather than the one faulty appliance?

More layers of safety never hurts Hans.

CUTE!
A CUTE

would stick dick in that socket

its very compact, but the plug slides out easily just by tilting the plug.

Takes some force actually

>Australia has chinky sockets
How apt

The ONLY problem, the absolute ONLY problem with British plugs is that you can step on the prongs.

You think lego's are bad, try stepping on one of these bad boys.

You mean mexico

Is she going to electroqt you?

Most plugs don't have the 3rd (bottom) prong. It's mostly for devices which consume allot of electricity (power strips, vaccums, appliances, very old electronics, etc).

The inside of these sockets have switches that act like keys. So we have some 3 pronged, but mostly 2 pronged. Newer sockets won't send out electricity if only one of the socket holes is activated. Give it a go next time you come out here mate.

bravo

>So you'd prefer your entire house to short circuit
doesn't happen

...

How are your appliances protected from shorting/surging if you don't have a fuse?

They're sturdy. I've traveled to most of those countries in OP's pic except the far east and all sockets i've used are flimsy or crackle.

actually the chinks have strayan sockets

I do have a fuse.

The socket on the second row, third one to the left, that's what we use.

Its ok, he has a fuse box, doesnt matter that the fridge compressor is already on fire.

House has multiple circuits and every one of them has a fuse.

Allah works in mysterious ways my man you just gotta have faith.

who is this lightning conductor?

WTF is the denmark one happy?

US plugs aren't a problem like that because they balance sideways when unplugged.

Those medieval torture devices clearly balance EVIL SIDE UP when unplugged.

"Safety switch"

:)

So you only have a few fuses?

Fuses in every appliance, multisocket as well as fuse boxes isolating the different areas of the house (lighting, circuits for each room) are standard here.

Enjoy your house fires klaus

Another bad thing is that they are so friggin huge. Jap gets the win in my opinion for being so efficient with space. I can't imagine seriously carrying brit shit around with me. Charger gotta weigh more than your phone, or even laptop lmao.

Threadly reminder that this guy was right.

Sockets are a jewish ploy to make us buy more adapters and shit when travelling. As to the best? I'm partial to my own obviously. It's actually fucked when you think about it. Why cant we all share a universal socket? #SocketLivesMatter

Two worst things to stand on after shards of glass or legos.

British plugs
British carpet gripper.

A pure bred american.
God bless.

British best

>British carpet gripper

?

it just wants to help you boil your kettle or watch tv and power your fridgerator :D
youtube.com/watch?v=N0JAvuc8KOs

Wew, we have the same socket as Japan

>fuse
>not circuit breakers
How many of your circuits are protected by a copper penny?

It would only take one faulty fuse to set Hans' house on fire, while an electrical fire here has to get through five ranks of brave British fuses.

God bless.

Pretty sure youre bullshitting.
I have most of these sockets in my house and not a single one of them does that. Jap ones only problem is that they slide off easily. Only ones i dont have are frog, pasta, jew and the 2 brit models.

England obviously. Everything else is straigght-up retarded

Our plug is actually a comemmorative design, prior to its issue we were on the old European design our continental lessers use. The bottom two pins represent the two world wars we won. The top one is for the world cup. We've got a four-pin model coming out soon in honour of blowing the fuck out of Turkmany yet again.

British phone chargers have a extendable ground now. This with the use of plastics makes a compact and light design while keeping the benefits of a British plug.

The small line of wood with tiny spikes that lives under carpets to stop them moving around. Pure fucking agony if you stand on them or slap someone over the head with one.

Niggers and Shitskins need to stop culturally appropriating our electricity. Its white privilege dontcha know?

Wooo that is illegal!

Based comment

The man who designed these needs to die painfully, preferably flogged to death by them.

They are spikes designed to hook into the underside of the carpet.

I have trod on them before and when cleaning dog hair from between the cracks in the stairs in ran my finger across the blade.

lol

All those fuses were because of copper shortages during The War, so they used ring circuits, which meant you couldn't properly protect circuits with a common fuse box.

Literally the most dangerous design possible. Then they doubled down on the stupid with a plug that was physically dangerous if left lying around.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_circuit

carpets are white privilege bro. Live with dirt floors like bernie

...

Number of house fires in Germany in 2002: 183,916

Number of house fires in England in 2014: 155,000

183,916 / 80,000,000 = 0.00229895

155,000 / 53,000,000 = 0.0029245283

hmmm

German plug is the best one.
Only problem is that you need the strength of a gorilla to rip it out of the socket.
Those things sit tight as fuck in there.

Jesus fucking Christ wut.

Maybe I'm missing something here but if the carpet goes on top of it...how do the nails not just go straight through it when weight is put on it?

I'd say the Danes have the best, it looks cute and happy as fuck.

>Fuses are dangerous

>Fuse is fucking useless now and you can plug it the wrong way around

How do you do this then? All it is is a bit of copper wire (to your desired current) and a card sleeve.
