Biblically accurate outlet

@catsalad (footnote for those who want to know what it really is: not an outlet—it has no terminals—but a place to stick the power plug on this air conditioning unit when its disconnected. original photo source: https://kind.social/@PurpleJillybeans/115009836419952013 )

@catsalad I read about this in the Da Vinci Code!

@catsalad

@mirabilos @catsalad @falken somebody needs to hook all of the live pins together, and all of the neutral pins together, and all of the ground pins together. Do you know which ones all of them are?

And should you even be connecting pins together for both 220V and 110V plug standards?

@hyc @catsalad @falken there’s no ground in that…

@mirabilos @catsalad @falken eh. I definitely see a US and UK ground slot. If you don't, well, prepare to be electrocuted

@nu @catsalad We don't talk about fight plug.

@catsalad

Now the question is: where have i seen it before?
Xkcd.com or @ NanoRaptor@bitbang.social ?

@catsalad it's missing the Type E and F earth pin

@catsalad It's *so* unnerving.

@catsalad Region : Yes

@catdad @catsalad Of electric shock

@hyc @catsalad @falken but neither DE nir NL/BE…

@catsalad@infosec.exchange I imagine there's a boring, sensible explanation for that, like it being a plug-retention hole on the back of an appliance to stop it rattling around and poking holes in things during shipping. But it's more fun to think of it as a globally cursed DeathDaptor...
