     @lain oh yeah i forgot about the fuses situation. the infographics should have included that.
     
     G is also another example of child safety as it's harder for a dumb kid to take a coin or fork or something and connect the two hot poles without touching ground.
     
     I've been told that a lot of electricians mount their outlets upside down in the USA for the same reason

     Ooooohhhhhhhhhh..... I thought it was because they hated converter warts and want them all to fall out of the receptacles all the time.

     When I was a kid my older brother told me if I jammed tweezers into the outlet it would make a Lazer. Well, it made a lightshow for sure, and the tweezers turned awesome colors, but my mom made me spend my allowance on new tweezers that weren't half as cool.
