    If you listen closely you can hear him whisper words of wisdom such as: “I’ve tried both ends five times now!”, “I think this one must be defective!”, or my personal favorite “I don’t think these are the same brand they had out last week!”

        USB plugs are actually a great at-home demonstration of quantum mechanics. The USB plug exists in a quantum superposition of alignment - being simultaneously correctly aligned and not aligned until being inserted. Once insertion is attempted, the wave function collapses to a random alignment.

          All of them are clear ones here, you just notice these new ones are harder to open, and then you start reading the fine print at the lower end of the bag… yep, not the same ones as last week 😂.
