What are some International things that you find very overrated online? For me, it's the>british electric plugsEuro/German standard has all the same safety features and more>hangulit's literally just an alphabet and quite ugly at that
>>218341523german windows, it either folds out meaning you can't have a screen or it folds in taking up space in the room
>>218341523Those are only rated high by br*ts though.
>>218341580yes but also by americansbecause american plugs are honestly dogshit so when they find out brits worship their own plugs, they believe them
>>218341523>Euro/German standard has all the same safety features and moreWrong, fucking thick cunt bumping your own thread. They aren't fused.
>>218341565>can't have a screenYea that shit always seems crazy to me.Like do they really have that few of flying insects?
>>218341523What's the amp in Afro-europe and Britanistan, here it used to be 2.5A 6A 10A 16A, now it's just 6A and 16A
>>218341805>>218341565>>can't have a screenthe other point I get but why can't you have a screen? the window only swings to one side. you should know, you have screen doors in the USyou can also have a bug screen that swings open or rolls up and down
>>218341523i bought some appliance that needed to be grounded and the plug that came with it was fucking german and theres no fucking ground pin
>>218342224the strip/hole is the earth
>>218341565Never seen any that fold out, so the screen thing isn't an issue, but yeah the room thing can get annoying. The one in my bedroom for example is like 1.5m wide for some reason, and I can't open it properly without hitting stuff on my desk
>>218342270yeah i know
>>218342302>The one in my bedroom for example is like 1.5m wide for some reasonsucks that it's one pane, it should look like this insteadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxHY52Zk8eQ
>>218342400It should. Those sometimes exist in office/school buildings, but I don't see them in private homes that much.
>>218342507average commie era school has windows like this
>>218343039Wtf is happening thereCan you even open those?
Let me just pick the low-hanging fruit>le asian country lives in le future: le videoAnd then it's some goofy gimmick and never really any kind of unforeseen engineering genius
>>218343132you can tell which ones swing open because the white frame around them is thicker, others are stationary. So only the middle left and right ones.
>>218341523Euro plugs are genuinely trash. I remember going to switzerland and every time I'd plug my laptop charger into a wall the socket would start sparking. Brazil tier electical infrastructure.
>>218343302was it a 2-prong plug? did you use an adapter?
>>2183435333 prong and yes
>>218343655anyway the swiss plug is entirely differenthttps://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/Swiss1.html
>>218341805??
>>218343302Yeah my sockets spark and some are also really loose. One of them is so loose I can't use it, it loses contact all the time because the weight of the cord pulls it away from the wall. One makes buzzing sound if I plug something so I'm afraid to use it.
>>218341523>>218341580
>>218345374too big, outlet is not recessed, no small variant with 2 prongs, only right-angle variant (no straight type)
if anything the bong plug is underrated
>>218345515>too bigAlri pawel we'll get a small baby one made for you
>>218341523Probably this. Im sure theres other things but this always sticks out to me. Its about 30cm by 30cm in a massivr room with tons of people
>>218341523british plugs are meh, having integrated fuse is interesting sockets having switches is very nice
>>218345736would you? I'd consider it I guess, but
>>218341523Also our plugs are fused, which the EU ones are not.And ours also work better as weapons, in case you need a blunt object to bash someone with. More heft on the plug, so swinging it around hits harder.
at least we can all agree japan has the worst electric connectors. they took the american standard and made it worse with this one simple trick
>>218345374>shocks kiddiesYou say that like it's a bad thing.
