I find the world to be crawling with interesting things to learn about. From electric plugs, to coffee, to how computers work, etc. It always drives me insane that the average person doesn't seem to be remotely interested in learning much about how and why the world works..

Didn't know it could be an ADHD thing though.

That's why I love technology connection guy, I can just skim through his list of videos and find some weird things to watch about some random tech.

electric plugs

I thought that I was the only one... But it makes sense that other ADHD folks would too. Have a favorite plug? Mine's the CEE 7/4 (Schuko). It just has a lovely symmetry and thoughtful, safety-conscious design.

The UK plug seems to be the best engineered one, I'm partial to the French one, along the Schuko.

The UK plugs are pretty great too. Easy to wire and designed to have fuses. I felt much more confident wiring one of those for my in-laws than I ever would with a US plug.

it's unnecessarily large but it has great safety features!

Ok, I had to look at this and I definitely agree. It's much better than the US Type B plug which I'm always afraid I'll short out when a random piece of metal falls on it.

at the moment i'm partial to andersons, wonderfully versatile, modular, and scalable. You can get them ranging from itty bitty baby connectors, to big chungus giga connectors.

It's a very nice design. I don't like plugs, i think they're all bad tbh.

Hey I think I should get tested or something. I'll make a phone call.... Eventually
