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 🧡

@GroupNebula563 @th @ErinRose it'll be fine, anything that's a europlug doesn't need PE anyways

[kawaiipunk@sunbeam.city]

@ErinRose is it actually possible to tread on an EU plug? I've never done it.

[erinrose@chaos.social]

@dps910 unbelievably low bar, though

[dysfun@social.treehouse.systems]

@th @ErinRose lol, i've never seen it done with a key before. i use a screwdriver.

[snoozyrests@infosec.exchange]

@ErinRose no, everyone can badmouth everything on this island EXCEPT our dear little three pinned chonkers

[ripper@chaos.social]

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

@th @ErinRose "When did your son's house burn down?"

@th @ErinRose
I usually take a pen for this. Btw. I met these sockets in Uganda for the first time and learned the trick there.

@th @ErinRose It is technically ok, the best kind of ok 🤪
But anyway I would use something made of plastics. Just for a safe feeling

[frank@f.reun.de]

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

[gbrnt@masto.hackers.town]

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

[ruenahcmohr@infosec.exchange]

@th @ErinRose hehe, tamper proof.
