one of the dumbest thing i’ve ever seen
Harvard referring to the Harvard hospital, of course.
That’s the joke in the title.
You know its good satire when you gotta think for a minute about whether this was serious or not.
Well if it was real they would have realized the mistake the moment they plugged it in. Since it’s plugged in for the picture, we know they are doing satire
Honestly, if it was plastic & around the block instead of the outlet, then that’ll be a pretty good idea. Plus, we have 3-D printers, so it should be easy
Notice how this pic was taken with flash
I have to know whether this is a joke or not
It is a joke
Thank you, I’m choosing to believe you for my sanity
The left picture would’ve burned down the house otherwise
Hahaha not funny
When I was in middle school, we would bend a paper clip so it fit in a socket, then wrap a rubber band around the “handle”, then plug it into a socket. The paperclip would make a small “explosion”, melt off in the socket, and sometimes blow the fuse. It was a fun but crazy form of science/vandalism…
Every time I see US sockets, I get the heebie jeebies. Or any non-recessed socket really, but at least most add insulation to the base of the prongs. No such luck here.
Meh, that’s only going to “coulda killed you”. The one piece metal wire will create a dead short across the circuit and trip it out instantly. He IS going to need new underwear and possibly pants also. He’ll have some scorched fingers with maybe a bit of temporary tingling in them after pissing off the angry pixies. But as far as death goes, god would need to be looking down directly at him and go “Fuck this guy, right now”. Not impossible, but it would require an exceptional amount of bad luck.
US outlets are safe. Not only does this out show a bit of recess at the surface, but the metal contacts that are carrying the current are also recessed inside about 1/8"/3mm where you can’t see them.
What are you comparing this to? Same in Japan.
Probably European Schuko and British outlets, they are WAY better.
I think schuko is much more likely the British ones are not recessed
Yeah, I forgot, thanks for the correction.
Reminds me of the movie where the protagonist Johnny 5 exclaims, “Number 5 is alive!”
Oh hey it’s a felony tube.
Seems more like a fash light shape
I don’t get it
Hand warmer.

Kids should be given space to explore,that way we could find what’s inside them What do you think about this
As a manufacturer of kids sized caskets, I fully support your initiative.
Literally the only good thing that could be said about this is that it’s on a brick wall. Otherwise that’s now the 3rd most dangerous electrical outlet I’ve ever seen.
How so? This one instantly trips a circuit breaker and then is quite safe. Now if the two hooks were separate, ir’d be a whole different matter…
Which ones are first and second?
2nd worst: at my friend’s last place the microwave mounted over the stove fell out and he had me come look and fix it and I discovered that the outlet that powered the microwave was strapped to the gas line. No box, just the wires out the end of the conduit wired into the outlet there inside the wall. I told him to get an electrician, I was not touching that shit.
1st worst: basically looked like this.
Wow. You’ve seen things.
I was hoping for an unusual cause of demise on that plaque. Sometimes old gravestones list a cause of death with wry humor.
It’ll be a great learning experience if the kids survives it.
Oh, he survived. He would need new underwear and possibly pants also. Might be some scorched fingers and possibly temporary tingling in the fingers, but the Angry Pixies wouldn’t kill him…This time.
