What are the holes for?

>>92851955 (OP)

nothing, production artifact

the americonnector is so loose it needs knobs to hold it place

GPT bot thread.

less weight

less cost production

it's easier to manufacture things properly by sticking a rod through those holes than holding two pieces of straight metal perfectly aligned

tldw?

Makes it more likely for you to become a tranny

>Spoonfeed me please.

Bits to grab onto.

ok 7 mins in not an anwser

what a faggot

sounds like the holes are used only for manufacturing purposes for precision alignment of the blades



? Just use chatgpt if ur this retarded

>>92851955 (OP)

someone thought it was based and it persists to this day.

manufacturing purposes, but i definitely recommend watching technology connections' videos

That guy is intolerable.

I'd watch that content if someone re-dubs it with the voice of an actual man, removes all his lame "jokes" and shortens those long-winded explanations.

At least he's only a closeted troon.

watched the video. no anwser whatsoever. it's just a schizo rambling. theres no information.

faggot confirmed

Manufacturing process, also outlets used to have grips inside to make it harder to pull the plug out, but that hasn't been a thing for decades.

speed holes.

it makes the electricity run faster

Dude in the video he talks about how he doesn’t actually know why they’re there. And if anyone knows, to comment

So one can wrap wires around them.

Watch it again, this time pay attention. He spends most of the video debunking people's assumptions and then drops it at the end that it was AT ONE TIME used to aid manufacturing and so it was made part of the standard. Now they don't need to do it that way but the holes stay because changing a spec is hard work and they aren't causing any problems.

What sort of 3rd world connector is this?

no proof = no anwser

it's all his speculation

>Ooga booga must be muh third world

KYS yank*id.

WHERE MUH DAMN HOLES AT

ease of manufacturing.

Fuck off

The number of people who think the receptacle grabs onto the holes of the prongs is concerning. Information about NEMA 5-15R receptacles can be found easily on the internet using a search engine. Is this really a technology board?

>i definitely recommend watching technology connections' videos

no, he's a fucking poof

>poof

okay, what the fuck is a poof? i swear to god /pol/tards come up with as many terms as tranny tumblrites

British slang for faggot.

>make fun of the american power plug

>get called a yank

Poof has been around longer than you've been alive.

To stick your dick in

>>92851955 (OP)

In one of his newer videos he shows a socket that uses the holes for stability. I think it was his timer video

misinformation

yeah he's a bit of a leftie nut but i still like his videos

/diy/ is the electrical standards board.

/g/ is the schizo and software board.

kill yourself

I don't even need to click to know it's that video.

>>92851955 (OP)

I thought it was a lockout tagout thing
