Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Ah yup! The French one is exactly what I was thinking of. I didn't realize that there are different outlets in different EU countries. That's gotta be annoying when traveling.

It's impossible to short the US ones too. Plugs only go in one way if they're polarized, or if they're grounded. Some devices aren't polarized and they can be plugged in right side up, or upside down.
