This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Older receptacles had a design that would hug the holes to hold the plug in place. It’s a holdover for people with older houses.
