Noo 240V superiority! 120V electric kettles suck.
But the outlets look funny.
Maybe I need to self-crit my electric chauvinism.
The South African and Indian 240V outlets don't look too bad compared to the European monstrosities lol
so this has to be the first time me, britain, india, pakistan south africa agree on something but their formats are the only objectively correct ones
That only objectively incorrect though are those with only 2 holes, you really should have a ground wire how much money/time are saving not having one?(I have to belief that a slight increase in manufacturing costs etc is easily offset by the number of shocks and electrocutions you have to deal with )
That's Pakistan
I'm pretty sure that's Pakistan and it's likely because of colonisation rather than some mutual agreement.
