    This is one of those things I can’t believe hasn’t been standardized. Why???

    As for the question, the one I grew up with type B. All others seems weird to me.

      it’s been standardized multiple times! the Italian outlets look like that to be backwards compatible with their older standard, where different amperages had different plugs.

      Type B is objectively inferior. This is not anti-americanism either, Technology Connections has my back here. But it’s not bad enough to replace three big countries worth of plugs and outlets. The only way to have a global standard would be something like Italy’s plug orgy system where you can fit multiple different types but that would kinda defy the purpose.

        So you say technology connections has your back but you didn’t even say why it’s inferior my first thought is you have no idea why. It just seems dumb posting that without any sorta proof.
