This is a debate, not an argument, let’s be adults about this. [Insert political joke]

    UK are safest, EU are both practical and almost as safe (as it supports a variety of plugs, both with and without grounding), and US is complete and utter garbage built for garbage voltage. Plus, the US one looks scared.

      The UK ones are only safe from an electric point of view. As stepping hazards for shoe-less feet they are only slightly less lethal than Lego bricks

      UK are safest

      Until you step on a plug…

      You thought Lego was bad on bare feet? Hoo boy

        At least the UK one is blunt. I’m trying, without success, to find a picture of the old style telephone (and my modem) connectors we had here in Norway. Imagine the UK power plug, but the pins are pointy. I’ve drawn blood stepping on these. I would run a marathon on Lego to avoid stepping on one of those again. Luckily they were gradually replaced by wallmounted RJ11 (or RJ45 if you had ISDN) during the 90’s.

        EDIT: Found it.

        FFFFUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu

        Stepping on one feels like getting shanked under your foot by Poseidon and his trident.
