I think the switches are nice but in the modern world you really don't need to unplug a vast majority of things. Even my $30 120V USA space heater shuts itself off if it tips over or gets too hot. My cell phone charger pulls functionally 0W while idling.

They do some things right in the UK. But does every toilet need to be hidden in a basement labyrinth?

Boy I bet youre fun at parties

But what about when you need to plug your hair dryer in and need to remove a lamps plug and it ends up on the floor and then you get a knock at the door and its your friend and you go out and forget all about it until you get home and completely fuck your own feet

it's sheeple.

this is something I've heard a lot from people in the UK, do UK electronics not have switches on them or something? all electronics I've ever seen living in the US have a power switch on them, do you think we unplug our stuff to turn them off?

Which makes it extra amusing to me that they coat the pins or whatever with plastic so you cant accidentally touch live while inserting it.

Lego vs Legos appears to be another North America vs The rest of the English speaking world thing. A collective noun feels weird to my American ears since they are individual pieces that are countable. It's not a big deal though. I enjoy having different ways of talking.

If you look at the picture, that's clearly the front part of a plug without the back cover, disconnected from all wiring and kept on the ground, with the pins facing upwards, to pierce some fascia.

If someone were to insert that plug into a socket as-is, it would still be a death trap as long as the power switch is on.
