I guess this could also be tied into the atrocious electricity prices the UK had (and, I guess, still has) - it's easier to notice if you've left something expensive on that way?

No, they have those coin operated power switches that were shown on "Mr. Bean".

I thought that was a joke, but then somebody pointed out in the UK hellscape thread that they are totally real, and that landlords can put them in and overcharge their tenants something like 25% for electricity. But at least nowadays they can pay via NFC!

what do you even put in that many cabinets? do mormons have multiple sets of dishes like observant jews?

and what goes in the empty floor space?
Ten cabinets for your skeletons, fifteen for your sex toys. The dishes go under the floor.

Oh it's even better these days! The power companies can put in smart meters under the promise of saving you money, then if you miss a couple of payments they can remotely switch you over to pre-pay - which is way more expensive than even the original style! So people struggling to afford energy bills end up having to pay more per unit.

It's total exploitation, and due to privitisation, all the government can do is say "please don't do that?"

the only reason i've ever heard for installing the sockets with the ground pin up is "if the plug is kind of loose and a little kid drops a coin down the wall, it will hit the ground and bounce off instead of shorting the live pins!" and that's such a stupid edge case. people barely even have coins anymore

Yeah right? What are they gonna do drop a bit coin on it?

Idk if you're joking but like, there's other slim conductive items. I'm pro grounds up it just gives me a chuckle that on this one I swapped today both of my items were molded flat plugs.

It's a crazy edge case but code doesn't have a preference one way or the other so why not knock out the edge case?

Unless you have a right angle appliance plug then go pin down.

There are too many wall warts that are designed to be hanging down and get awkward and even unstable if forced into the other orientation.

Now with less breakage.

The single biggest benefit to the Schuko style sockets is apparently that they're symmetrical and thus don't have an up/down.

Denmark uses a modified version, for no obvious reason , but it does look very happy:

(Though they have also allowed installing Schuko-style sockets for some 12 years now, so I suspect they're very slowly moving into alignment.)

I only have canyoneyes for you
Those cabinets are great kitchen design if you understand how they're supposed to function.

If you're being chased, you can run into one and run out of another.
You can open a door and stick your head in, which then pops out of a cabinet on the other side of the room.
You may run into a cabinet and when you run out, you and your pursuer have switched places.
You can escape into a cabinet, exit another, and immediately slam the door shut on your pursuer, trapping them inside the cabinet.
You may then knock on the door, and when your rival opens the cabinet door, you hand them a birthday cake. It's not their birthday, but they're so excited and take it anyway and fail to notice that the burning candles are actually sticks of dynamite. After you finish singing the last notes of Happy Birthday, you jump into a cabinet just before the dynamite goes off. Best case scenario for your rival is having his face blackened with soot, hair burned to stubs, and his teeth fall out sounding like xylophone chimes. Worst case scenario, when the smoke clears he finds himself as a spectral image of himself rising upwards with a robe and wings strumming a tiny harp.
