    What the actual fuck. The prongs aren’t even oriented correctly. And the ‘live’ wire is just tied to ground.

    So glad we’re burning down the rainforests for this.

      I was curious and found we do actually have plugs with those pin orientations.

      It’s 240v though, which means two live wires on opposing phases shorted together and connected to the appliances ground wire… Even better.

          No no no, you just get assigned to the great omni pattern buffer, may O’Brien find and rematerialize you as soon as he is able =P

            Instructions unclear, Baron Samedi rematerialized me. Does this mean I gotta go shock myself stupid again until O’Brien does it?

                  Ah I was trying to keep going with pop culture jokes and was suggesting you may have been Twin Peaks Season 3 zapped into an alternate timeline, where maybe it was back when… was it The Living Daylights?

                  Whenever it was when whichever Bond movie had Samedi as the big bad came out.

                  =P
