    The fact that’s even possible blows my mind because Australian plugs solved it. we’re all too drunk to be trusted with symmetrical plugs.

    but lets be honest, a power point with a USB superposition will burn down your house 100% of the time.

      What? In most of Europe the plugs are symmetric, and it doesn’t matter which way you plugin. I grew up without knowing there’s stupid systems around the world that do not work like that.
