I'm an electrician.

@twoowls73 @nomenloony The turbo encabulator doesn't have any plugs/sockets! You would need to have a retro encabulator.

@nomenloony What the flippin’ hell
Just so ya know I am *NOT* an electrician and I am freaking out at this image !!!

“We’re doomed”

(Please play in your head Bernie Sanders’ doppelgänger/distant cousin when he said that exact line )

@nomenloony That’s shocking!

@nomenloony @skyfire747 Got it right once, but there's always next time!

@nomenloony Had a play with AI for the Australian plug and for your prompt it gets fatally confused (literally) between Australian mains plugs and Australian car trailer plugs.

@nomenloony I would really not advise anyone to do anything with household current wiring based off a quick internet search, even if you find a reputable human.
I've fixed up plenty of things myself, but electricity can kill you and that's one to leave to pros.

@nomenloony So UK plugs have built in fuses? That's a good feature.

@nomenloony ah yes

Live blue and earth.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony I’m guessing it just grabbed an svg off wikimedia commons?

@nomenloony Turn any appliance into a space heater - briefly.

@skyfire747 @nomenloony ah close, some random company’s website https://www.phscompliance.co.uk/news/plug-wiring-diagram-101-understanding-labels-colours-and-connections/

@nomenloony So, you're telling me they put Buss fuses inside every plug??

@drahardja
Which is quite often it seems.
@skyfire747 @nomenloony

@nomenloony TIL UK plugs have a replaceable fuse in them.

@nomenloony
I see you have a special cord,
that you can use to meet the Lord,
'cause you don't care 'bout power safety, do ya?

@nomenloony Thank you for adding the ALT text! The ALT text sections helped me (a novice) learn that the "Correctly Wired UK Plug" diagram is NOT CORRECT.

@nomenloony
I feel sorry for people looking stuff up, now, with how many sites are just generated slop.

I rewired my bedroom as a teen with info found on Usenet. Accurate info from a real person with the knowledge I needed instead of a LLM running a predictive algorithm on what a real answer might be.

@nomenloony

Is…is that a dead short from live to earth?

@Kierkegaanks @nomenloony

it is a just a new form of natural selection.
