Meanwhile french plugs and outlets :

Not gonna lie… my first reaction to that in this context is “two in the pink one in the stink”. Now I feel dirty, thanks, Beryl.

Weird. I find it really easy to just bend the ring finger but fairly hard to bend just the middle finger. Am i a freak?

Another perfect example of flawed analogies and kneejerk conclusions vs. the benefit of thinking about it for a few seconds
Americans having a conversation about sexual orientation

Fun fact, the plugs used in Europe are intersex.

hot damn. I once lived in a house that used a contraption like this to feed elctricity from one circuit into another. I didn’t know and I touched one end… I did fall off the ladder, but I’m still alive.
Of course this analogy is even more flawed than OOP’s.
Challenge accepted!
Anyone know if female-to-female cords are a thing?
Yes and that’s totally fine.

(This is a joke about homophobia)
My favorites are the ones where the plug is live and the socket draws power, and if you hold the plug wrong you die.
what ones?
the ones
Plural? This happened to me once, and never again since.
I present to you the IBM hemaphroditic connector!

Behold: RP-SMA

RP-SMA? More like DP-SMA!

I’ll see myself out.

i mean males have 2 of the 3 holes too.
Old Czechoslovak oval 380V (3-phase 220V) plugs have 4 genders. The contact gender depends on whether the receptacle is a power source or sink, the sleeve gender depends on whether it’s a cable mount (innie) or wall mount (outie). I hate this, they could have made it work with two while still keeping the water resistance flaps like the new CEE round ones.

This meant that people needed contraptions like this to extend cables:

We have a homemade one with a dodgy wooden base, and two outputs: one has two phases swapped for counterclockwise power.
Shamefully, when I’m speaking to someone who starts spouting the usual nonsense about homosexuality or genders, I’ll ask " What about bears? ". I know nothing at all about bears, but seemingly its a great question to flounder moronic confidence. If it isn’t enough, I’ll add that bears display LGBTQ+ varieties in the wild and in zoo’s. Deapan / confused delivery is key!
You wouldn’t believe the pronouns
Huh, this post has taught me that I really like plugs and outlet’s, some of the ones posted look fun to plug in.
Guess plugs and outlets are my weird old man interest.
I’m a three-phase gender kinda person myself.
i agree with the master of electricity
but what’s the wall plug converter have to do with anything?
