this plug doesn't have the little holes

I'm not American, but I've lived a few years in the US. I find it very interesting that the US invented the electric infrastructure that we use today, but they really screwed up a few things. Firstly, the connectors are far too unsafe. They are flimsy and have no protection from electrocution. Secondly, by using 120V as the main voltage, you need more current to do the same amount of work as a 240V system. Thay means thicker wires, more stress on the plugs, and greater fire hazards.

Shuko plugs FTW

Americans plugs are very strange

The holes are only for manufacturability.

Not all of them do.

I always thought the holes were there for OSHA lockout/tagout locks.

What is this, the outlet denier?

I mean, if the US is gonna steal basically everything from the UK, they might as well steal their power outlet designs since they're that good.

Oh wait, they just started doing that by forgetting to punch holes in their own power plugs? Hmm, I wonder when they'll make the next step.

I am prepared for the massive amount of downvotes that the Muricans will throw at me because I said that.

This is a plug for China. It will work fine in US outlets but it's intended for that Chinese market hence the lack of holes.

Throw it out. It's not safe to use.
