UK are safest, EU are both practical and almost as safe (as it supports a variety of plugs, both with and without grounding), and US is complete and utter garbage built for garbage voltage. Plus, the US one looks scared.
At least the UK one is blunt. I’m trying, without success, to find a picture of the old style telephone (and my modem) connectors we had here in Norway. Imagine the UK power plug, but the pins are pointy. I’ve drawn blood stepping on these. I would run a marathon on Lego to avoid stepping on one of those again. Luckily they were gradually replaced by wallmounted RJ11 (or RJ45 if you had ISDN) during the 90’s.

The UK ones are only safe from an electric point of view. As stepping hazards for shoe-less feet they are only slightly less lethal than Lego bricks
Even our outlets are terrified of how bad the plug design is.
Until you step on a plug…
You thought Lego was bad on bare feet? Hoo boy

EDIT: Found it.
FFFFUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu
Stepping on one feels like getting shanked under your foot by Poseidon and his trident.
Oh dude that’s medieval lol
is that PoE adapter
No, it’s just an adapter to get the rj11 to connect to the wall socket that most houses built before 1990 had for their phones here.
