Oven VS cooktop, and the subtle difference between them
This person was arguing with multiple people about how electric is superior to gas. In an effort to prove me wrong about how electric cooktops work, they posted a wiring diagram for an oven thermostat.
Update : after their snarky reply, I looked closer at the manual they posted, and it's for a stove with gas burners. So even if they were right, that component wouldn't exist on that particular appliance. It would indeed produce a steady heat though.

Context: Beria was one of the most feared, high ranking men in the USSR, serving as head of the NKVD. His crimes against children and women were well known, many, and revolting. He served as Stalins right hand man for the latter half of Stalins reign and remained loyal to him until the end.

I thought we could use something a bit more lighthearted for a change.

No paywall.
Can you imagine being the IT guy who got given the job of digging all that up? What a bizarre day at work.

Technically part of the south island is visible in the corner.
The UK can't see Imgur links right now, apparently.
Time to talk shit about the snaggletooths.

Check the comments of the original post for the stupidity.
For those of you without an electrical background, the diagram shows the protective earth connected directly to phase, with phase and neutral also joined.
Correctly wired, this would be a three pin plug, with the earth wire connected to the earth pin in the plug, with the other end connected to the metal casing of the appliance. This is a critical safety feature, which will cause the circuit protection to trip in the event a phase wire contacts the metal of whatever this is connected to.
If this was actually done, the most likely outcome is it would trip a circuit breaker, but if the neutral was broken, it would connect phase directly to the casing, and likely electrocute someone.
