A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)

Fr I love my country's plugs. So easy to hide away too because they aren't very deep, you can get a unit right up next to them. Plus the safety improvements of the requirement for the top pin to be inserted to unlock the other 2, and having it connected to ground.
Totally, UK plug massive represent. Don't forget the in-built fuse too, stops your equipment getting blown up by surges.
Germany is the best I've seen, pretty much the USB C of wall plugs.
