@@danielarnold9042 Personally I think so and I live in the UK. I was joking because of how many disputes there have been when countries try to work together
@@danielarnold9042 maybe fair, but some (possibly even most) are close if not even regarding safety, and I personally find the UK one way too bulky to be remotely usable (I live in Switzerland, we have way smaller ones that are still quite safe), but we have like 3 outlets in the wall space you have one in, and I can't imagine how bulky power strips must look... anyway, just personal opinions and thoughts
The top pin of a uk plug can conduct electricity- it’s a ground or earth pin, and a lot of things still have that for safety. Look at your kettle lead, for example. It’s also not got a plastic sheath the way the conducting pins do, again for safety.
I may be wrong but i think devices made from metal usually have a metallic Earth pin to reduce the chance of electrocution, which is why things like fridges and kettles and stuff have the metal pins. I am probably wrong though
@@TeraChad23It's a return path. In case electricity decides to take a wrong turn inside an appliance, it is redirected to the ground instead of the metal casing of the appliance. If you don't have an earth connection and the device is not double-insulated (Google it), current would go into the metal casing and shock an unsuspecting user. Also, you cannot be killed by electricity if you aren't touching the ground, as otherwise the electricity will go through your body and use you as a path to ground, which is usually where it wants to go anyways. Even worse if you have a cut or exposed tissue, as the inside of the human body conducts electricity far better than the outside. That includes your vital organs too.
@3:36, most US plugs don't have a switch on their outlets. The fuse panel is where you disable your outlets. People don't disable their outlets from the fuse panel since it also disables an entire room's circuit. Ideally, people only disable their fuse panel when replacing an outlet etc.
It's nice to be able to switch off a plug without having to unplug the thing plugged into it. I switch off my charger when not using it but never unplug for example
@@tigrafale4610 Most things that you'd actually want to turn off will have switches on the appliance itself. That way you don't have to turn the entire socket off for just one item. If I have a TV and a lamp plugged into the same outlet, I can turn just the lamp on and leave the TV on. It also seems like a pain to reach under my desk and find the switch on the wall instead of just turning it off from the lamp. Do your lamps not have switches on them?

But isn't it easier to just flick a switch than pull out the plug? Especially for things like you said TV & PC as it may be hard to unplug it from the socket instead of just pressing a switch
I don't see how it's a lot easier to switch it off than just drag it out since you are still going to have to do it on the floor. I would understand a cable extension with a switch like on the table

They are just type C and type F plugs. Usually type C for household appliance (fridge, dishwasher, washing machine etc...) and type F for small devices such as battery chargers, lamps, TVs
2:09 as someone from Israel, I can confirm that that is not how our plugs look like, they sometimes do but they're mostly like the Europe and France one, everything that is compatible with one is also compatible with the other one

I live in New Zealand and the power socket design is the same as Australia's and China's. For some reason I had zero idea how different they were in different countries. At least I can agree with Jack on how weird it seems to not have a switch.
The power point is the weirdest adoption of them all. it is officially called a Type I socket, and is used in Australia, NZ, Papua New Guinea, China, Argentina, and Uzbekistan.
there must be some place to just switch sides like a highway clover like looking thing or an X with a bridge or tunnel for one side so they dont interfere with each other
tom scott is british... imagine believing him with his biased opinion, theres a reason why so many countries even major british colonies use european plugs and not british plugs
3:05 such a huge plug. As a German, I say the Swiss have the best plugs! These plugs are safe and small. Three Swiss sockets on the place of one German socket. These sockets were supposed to be introduced throughout the EU, but no agreement was reached. And who needs switches on the socket? UK because they have the whole house one a fuse.
