So that’s why I can’t plug it in without looking

That actually explain quite a lot.

look at the plug and look at the hole. Square peg square hole

tetrahedron ,

Nah, the USB is a Kalabi-Yau Manifold.

neonred ,

You must spin it two times, not three.

millie ,

No, no, no. This is all wrong. USB has a spin of 1/2.

Etterra ,

I firmly believe that rather than superpositional, these are 11 dimensional. It doesn’t matter which direction you rotate it, it will still take you on average five or six 180° rotations until it fits into the damned slot.

Wilzax ,

USB-A is spin 1/2

Vespair ,

I think this kind of meme is the same thing as people who pretend to hate the word “moist.”

beltsin ,

now what do you mean by that

Vespair ,

Boring pop culture opinions that nobody actually likes but which wear the cadence of interesting content so people unthinkingly clap along out of habit even though nobody is actually edified by it or sincerely enjoying it.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I’ve been preaching this about “moist” for years. I genuinely haven’t found anyone with an aversion to it who disliked the word before dislike of it became a part of the cultural fabric.

Vespair ,

You, my friend, are 100% correct in your take on the topic.

Allero ,

USB devices just not fitting the damn slot is an all too common issue, and it normally takes me 2-3 rotations to finally insert it if I’m not actively looking.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Yes I swear both ends are blocked off until I look straight at it with both my eyes to unlock it.

MonkderDritte ,

Upvote for the nostalgia.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

Nostalgia? This is something I still deal with every day. What future are you living in?

MonkderDritte ,

A lot of notebooks have only USB-C for years now.

But true, i have not seen C Bluetooth dongles yet.

DestroyMegacorps ,

when are we gonna get a barrel styled USB connector its clearly infinitely better than a USB c connector

Allero ,

Never, because apparently someone craves thinner smartphones and tablets, and a barrel USB is a bad fit for that.

Trabic ,

Still takes me two tries more than %50 of the time with usb-c

NutWrench ,
@NutWrench@lemmy.world avatar

You can buy reversible USB cables online. The connector works in either direction. They’re pretty neat.

Allero ,

Wow! Can’t believe it actually exists lol

miridius ,

My superpower is that I can plug in USB A the right way up on the first try pretty much every time

BCsven ,

What is ironic is I bought a USB switcher for using Keyboard, Mouse etc with 4 systems; it has the USB ports upside-down.

SpaceCowboy ,
@SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca avatar

Your USB switcher is the work of the devil.

LemmyKnowsBest ,

While I’m extremely envious of you, if I had the opportunity to choose one superpower, there are probably a million others I’d choose before that one haha

like a superpower that gives me exactly as much money as I need at any given moment anytime I need it.

TachyonTele ,

Hell yeah. Then you just just buy a bunch of new USBs instead of sitting there turning it around four times!

Zacryon ,

In that case you could pay tuem for their USB A plug-in service.

enleeten ,

Captain Dongle!

Get a USB with a notch on the casing. Observe the orientation with your fingertips.

maculata ,

I love how everyone is trying make up some ‘logical system’ or magical thinking about the completely arbitrary and random nature of the problem.

It’s not like there’s a big hairy USB god in the clouds who is going listen to all your jibber-jabber or that there’s some hidden alchemical formula that will turn the wrongly oriented USB connection into the golden correct orientation everytime.

It’s all bullshit. I don’t care if you are offended. It’s not the Bronze Age anymore. Just grow up and look at your damn USB connector, and then the socket.

SCIENCE, BITCH.
