he’s headed direct to downing st… if you don’t think his prime ministership has been a done deal for the last few months, millions has already been spent, movements already made and plans firmly in place then look at boris. same blob fast track to PM
Conspiracy Theories I've heard of recently; 🧵
1. If you no longer remember your dreams or you no longer dream, that means that all the alternate versions of you are no longer in existence… your the only one left.
Your phone charger can electrocute a toddler who pokes a fork into the socket. The British plug cannot. That difference comes from a 1947 engineering project that refused every shortcut and turned a household plug into one of the most deliberately safe objects ever mass-produced.
Britain published BS 1363 in 1947, built for the post-war housing boom. The country was wiring millions of new homes at once and needed one standard that would work safely for everyone. They picked the most paranoid option available.
The earth pin (the large top prong) is longer than the other two. When you push a British plug in, the earth pin goes in first. Inside the socket, it presses a lever that opens two metal shutters covering the live and neutral slots. A fork pushed into an empty British socket hits only shutters. The shutters block it.
The two conducting pins are also coated in plastic for their lower half. A plug halfway out of the wall is still safe to touch. You would have to pull it completely clear before any live metal is exposed.
Inside every plug is its own fuse. UK homes wire their sockets in a loop called a ring circuit, which runs at 32 amps, enough to melt a lamp's cord if the cord fails. So each plug carries a fuse matched to the appliance: 3 amps for a lamp, 13 for a kettle. When something goes wrong in your appliance's wiring, only that plug's fuse blows.
The standard US plug (flat two-pin or three-pin) has none of the pin coating and no individual fuse. American building codes began requiring shuttered outlets in new construction in 2008, decades after Britain made shutters standard. Even those newer shuttered versions lack pin coating and plug-level fuses.
Britain's plug is bulky because a fuse, a shutter mechanism, insulated pins, and three contact prongs all need room. The plug looks the way it does because safety engineers refused to sacrifice any of those features to make it smaller, and that decision is now 79 years old.
watched the highlights of combat sporting greatness yesterday; the absolute elite going at it inside a venue that’s as hallowed as it is revered…
little hulton’s finest vs ibiza final boss at the AO arena in manc 🥊 absolute peak entertainment 🤣 #misfitsboxing
@GoldBellClips how the fuck do scousers actually get about in foreign countries? i struggle understanding them and they’re only 40 mins down the motorway.
@SkyNews@BethRigby i can’t believe a single word that comes out of his mouth… his body language is alarmingly fake and in authentic - nobody has ever summed up the bureaucracy quite like this guy. fake as fuck
if you think stopping under 16s from going on youtube is a good thing then you need to look up some words you’ve probably been calling loads of other folk recently… then find one of those mirrors and look directly into it 👍
WOW - the fakest most insultingly inauthentic script reading he’s done so far, even got the george at asda 6music dad outfit on, whilst sat there telling you how he’s everyone’s dad now and he will tell the kids what they can watch (but will let them vote)
so what’s the issue with him being a trillionaire?
proceeds to waffle about some all encompassing argument about how rich hoard wealth through assets
yeah but what about him specifically?
more waffle then its “plus Elon’s a massive wanker as well”
so… basically no answer 👍
Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire has been a really great IQ test for the general public.
You see people online who think Elon literally has a trillion dollars sitting in a bank somewhere and has chosen to just… keep it there.
These are not serious people and not worth engaging with. It’s like trying to have an intelligent discussion with a monkey.
so there’s another exciting new band getting about… seen them around, look kinda cool and no obvious gimmick - so check out their biggest song with an open mind. and it’s biggest musical hook is the same melody AND lyric from all these things i’ve done by the killers 🤦🏻♂️ 3.2/10
