I mean, you can do pretty much that by using one of the largest instances. That is most likely to have content from the largest amount of other instances.

In that case you need a VERY long cable for the device, though, if you ever want to travel anywhere with it!

of the time yes, but the pin in type E will not cause some chargers to

I haven’t seen a plug here in Finland, where all sockets are of type F, that would not have a hole for the ground pin of type E in case that I want to travel to France or Belgium and use the device there. Where have you found a device whose plug doesn’t fit in type E socket?!

Well, the amount of differences isn’t really that huge. Unlike told in the video, if you pull the continental European plug out enough to be able to touch the pins, it’s no longer connected. That safety feature exists in plugs of type J, F, E, K, and, I think, L. Plus, I’d guess N.

Also the slack in ground should exist in all sockets with grounding, as well. (I have never checked if they really do, though…)

So, the only real safety differences are:

1. While it is indeed a bit difficult for a child to insert a pencil or similar into the plugs of type C-contemporary, because there are usually kind of covers that require some strength to push through, the feature where the ground pin pushes the other holes open is a much better solution

2. The fuse can save you in case that there’s a short-circuit that causes the appliance itself to catch fire without tripping the central fuse. The British standards enables each appliance to have a fuse only as big as the maximum that appliance might ever need in normal operation, so that if it ever tries using more current than designed, the fuse will blow and a danger gets averted.

This means: one of the listed safety features is partially implemented, another one can save you from a fire in a fringe case, and the rest of the features exist at least in types E, F and K.

Type K, BTW would allow for the same kind of shutters for the live holes as in the type G plug in the video. I wonder if that’s implemented? I hope it is!

You’re still opening it.

But if you have your friend open it, then you are not opening and consuming the product.

Of course, with such draconian rules, one should not drink that stuff anyway.
