Americans having a conversation about sexual orientation
it’s simple, as long as you don’t know or think about anything
i mean males have 2 of the 3 holes too.
My favorites are the ones where the plug is live and the socket draws power, and if you hold the plug wrong you die.
what ones?
Beware the forbidden extension cable.
The perpetual power cord.
It’ll power your stuff until the end of your life.
I’m going to live forever or die trying, so it’ll clearly thus last forever.
I see you are putting up the Christmas lights on your house before it gets too cold outside
Really useful for powering your house from your neighbors outlet but big electric doesn’t want you to know that
This is just brilliant and is now my go to response for the hateful people in society that are difficult to avoid.
It’s simple. Humans aren’t cables. Any questions?
How does a Kelvin bridge work?
4 wire connection? sure. Wheatstone bridge? no problems. Kelvin bridge? too many resistors, I just don’t see it.Correct, they’re a series of tubes.
they are a donut made out of littler tubes
They’re more complex than cables. Not less.
Did you know under the right conditions you can urinate from your belly button?
That would be an interesting party trick.
What conditions? Getting stabbed there?
Excuse me WHAT THE FUCK
I’m a three-phase gender kinda person myself.
Behold: RP-SMA
RP-SMA? More like DP-SMA!
. . .
I’ll see myself out.

No one tell the straights about generator pigtails
Suicide cords?
this was the first link i found that looks like the pigtail i’ve got hooked up to our generator.

That page is troublingly silent on how the phases are actually connected. I would assume each smaller outlet gets one of the phase legs plus neutral and ground, but why can’t it just say that?
I’m sure there’s a page somewhere that explains how they’re supposed to be wired. Probably a UL something something
i agree with the master of electricity
but what’s the wall plug converter have to do with anything?
The only universal truth is that there’s a mate for everybody.
Putitin!
Tintin?
wow this would go hard if it had more than 32 pixels
Most circuit boards are an absolute pride parade. You have your male to male/female to female connectors, MtF/FtM transformers, master/slave setups, multiport adapters, splitters, switches, docking, etc
Master/slave terminology needs to die off. What a blatant callback to slavery times.
I like parent/child. Add something? Parent adopts. Remove something? Parent abandons, leaving the process or component with trauma that will require years of therapy.
Then you get people asking how you kill abandoned child processes

I quite agree. Personally I use Main/Secondary, I find it does away with the problematic terminology while needing no changes in acronyms.
I like sender/receiver
Pitcher/catcher?
No, no, perhaps not.
top/bottom
Eh, I think master is used (AFAIK) unproblematicly in other contexts like a master key, recording master, and master pattern. Converting it to “main” seems like a change or loss of meaning, but the problem may be that there is not really a consistent meaning across electronics usage to start with. I think “secondary” has some connotation of filling the same purpose or type as the primary, which doesn’t really fit for m/s usage. Master/sheep is my most similar option that keeps the “m/s”, but it feels awkward enough to draw attention to what it replaces. Could just do master (or main) and sub, where “sub” could mean substitute, subordinate, subscriber, [submissive,] etc. as needed.
leader/follower for things like Paxos and RAID arrays works okay.
Noo! It just needs to become kinky instead.
Should be using Dom/Sub amirite?
Oh, surely you must’ve meant Kermit/Miss Piggy.
Yes.
There are also gender benders… Turn male to female or female to male.
They included that already with MtF/FtM
Anyone know if female-to-female cords are a thing?
they are useless, they keep getting cut when scissoring
Yes and that’s totally fine.

Challenge accepted!
When I was a kid our electricity got cut (yes we were poor). We found an outlet with power for some reason. Must’ve been wired to another unit in the 3 family home.
So my moms boyfriend went out to the hardware store and made this cable. Then plugged in the working outlet to a nearby dead one and we got power again…
I don’t remember how long we ran that but nothing exploded.
If I recall he was from another country and they did this all the time across houses when someone lost power or hooking up gas power generators.
Can I ask, what’s the (ill-advised) use case for this?
I don’t know anything about electronics but I readily believe this is a dangerous cable
But what I don’t get is what people want it for. I’ve never been in a situation that calls for this
Smartphone chargers / smartphone to computer cables are technically male (USB-A) to male (USB-C).
just in case you think your fuse box is bored
It allows you to move power from a live circuit to a dead one by connecting the outlets between them. The most common use I’ve seen is to easily hook a gas generator to a household circuit during a blackout.
But yes, they’re very dangerous and there are less-stupid ways to hook up a generator that won’t make tripping over a power cable lethally dangerous or risk burning down the house by bypassing the circuit breaker and overloading the wiring in the walls.
But this one is popular because it can be done very quickly and easily with minimal supplies.
They can be used to hook a generator to your house if your power goes out, but people will use them for things like if they strung up Christmas lights backwards so 2 female ends are next to each other.
they exist and my coworkers kept buying them from somewhere and I never trusted them not to kill themselves so I did the one underpaid above and beyond the boss didn’t deserve by fixing the idiotic wiring
Shamefully, when I’m speaking to someone who starts spouting the usual nonsense about homosexuality or genders, I’ll ask " What about bears? ". I know nothing at all about bears, but seemingly its a great question to flounder moronic confidence. If it isn’t enough, I’ll add that bears display LGBTQ+ varieties in the wild and in zoo’s. Deapan / confused delivery is key!
I have read a bit about biology and the science is kinda clear cut on it. That is to say, sex is a false dichotomy. Not even the chromosomes are a deterministic 100% guarantee for other things like genitals, breasts and even “male/female normatieve brain patterns”. So yeah, follow the science and discover biology is not binary.
Definitely going to try to add that to my “What about bears” question for future use. Much appreciated. I’m not certain that many recipients of my challenge will understand the words. I may be on a witchcraft charge in some places
wait, like bears, or bear bears? are bear bears like bears?
Just so!
Do you have penguins in your bears question? They can form monogamous same sex bonded pairs that can adopt an egg from another couple and raise it.
That’s a fun one to fuck with 'phobes about
snails are hermaphroditic, impale each other with sex arrows, and then proceed to twist around each other while hanging from a rope of slime and they impregnate each other.
Jellyfish spew their sperm and eggs into the water around them, hope for it to meet up and make an egg that hatches into a larva, which roots itself to the ocean floor and grows into a polyp where the adult jellyfish grow like a stack of plates and each one individually buds off.
