What a shit argument. For one, they are literally compatible. If they touch it just becomes a hot wire that can transfer electric charge. The design is for convenience and not a biological argument.
Second, this assumes that visual examples of simple things must equate to similar examples that share only a few features of resemblance. Like saying that a pipe bomb explodes, TNT explodes, and thus, (insert tube shaped example like a snake or a trash can) should also naturally explode. I guess an idiot might be convinced.
In this dumb example it could be argued extension cords are like gay men, and thus, are natural. Penis? Check. Hole meant for putting penis in? Check. Gay man. (Or trans person, or intersex, or more)
my dude are you saying "GroyperVGC" is dumber than rocks at the bottom of the abyssopelagic asscrack in the ocean? sir, that is an upstanding pillar of the community 😤
Also, there's nothing biological about them. They're not biological entities. They're artificial. Manufactured.
I mean, whatever is at the other end of the American male plug probably expects 120V, 60Hz AC power, and whatever is at the other end of the male Europlug probably expects 240V, 50Hz AC power.
Awkschually, a lot of stuff can take both because it's often cheaper to produce one for multiple Countries.
A random phone charger I grabbed of my shelf can take anywhere from 100 to 240V, 50 to 60Hz.
Fair haha. A little in the weeds but I'm referring directly to the pins and socket (and conductor I guess) specifically like the OP was with their ability to connect. If we ignore convention then what's off screen could technically be a power source of any metric on one end and a compatible appliance on the other.
Unrelated bit do you think if we continue this as the original euphemism it becomes a racial thing implying nobody should get with Europeans? Lol
Extension chords have two things poking out. So his point can obviously only be about people with diphallia.
If my extension cords are gay men then my USB drives are gay tops.
Well, obviously. My netgear is actually a gay switch.
I prefer "idiot thinks he's making a great argument - I will not dignify it with anything serious"
