    To be honest that’s not a bad idea for a gimmicky charger. Too bad some dumb ass like me who ripped through a couple of beers will likely plug it in backwards and fuck the whole thing up.

      This is usb-c which means there’s no “backwards”, both sides work properly unlike micro usb.

      Edit: if it was micro usb it would also rip out ports of whatever it plugs into. lol

      The fact that’s even possible blows my mind because Australian plugs solved it. we’re all too drunk to be trusted with symmetrical plugs.

      but lets be honest, a power point with a USB superposition will burn down your house 100% of the time.

        What? In most of Europe the plugs are symmetric, and it doesn’t matter which way you plugin. I grew up without knowing there’s stupid systems around the world that do not work like that.
