Imagine the possibilities!!!!

I have a degree in electronics engineering, and I say that cord is too small to annihilate anything larger than an aromatherapy diffuser.

I’m trying to picture the Death Star with a cord. Where would it be plugged in?

If it’s pumpkin spice aromatherapy, some people may prefer the annihilation.

(and yes, pumpkin spice is already back.)

Those two could just be different settings on the same appliance.

Or … or … they might all go to the relativity condenser.

In search of the obscure cord!

Copper wires are not inherently evil, it is what you power them with them that is evil.

That does sound like an NRA style evasion of course, the key difference being that guns are designed to kill at a distance, or (at best) to threaten that result and so act as a tool of fear and coercion.

The gun crazies will argue knives are similarly dangerous, but I have a kitchen drawer full of them, they get used to make dinner. Beyond shooting dinner (how many people realistically rely on hunting for small game for their sustenance, given levels of urbanisation?) a gun isn’t going to get you fed unless you use it in robbing a 7-eleven.

Let’s go with the diffuser. We have enough death ray guns already.

Hmm I’m eager to see how both work

well, joke stinks

Same thing.

Both of mine use USB C connectors.

Someone should be perfecting the wireless world. All those cords are a trip hazard. Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide.

Once I realized most manufacturers had stopped labeling their chargers with the brand name of the associated equipment, I started doing that myself when I unboxed a new product. Of course, I am in IT and got into the habit at work. There are very few real reasons for the non-standardization of cable connectors. I do have some “mystery cables” which may or may not belong to some piece of equipment I will find the week after I throw away the cable.

I thought aromatherapy was the most lethal weapon in the universe.

You need a universal connection so you can use it for either.

Yes, we do have a few power cords in our cupboard!

If he is that confused with the cords, I hope he can identify the right apparatus to use when needed!

I have a closet full of cables of every sort. And still can’t find the right one for the job.

I have a storage box like that. Power cords and cables and old PC parts I “might need someday”.
