When you get a new computer and the USB ports are so tight you have to really force plugs in

    do normal adults actually think about sex this much

    or alternatively have normal adults actually hung around people who crack sex jokes often enough during their formative years that these have become substantial memes they perpetuate

    Of course, on the opposite extreme, there's the USB charging ports at airports and the like, where the contacts are so loose from repeated plugging and unplugging that they don't actually make a connection anymore.

    It's kind of funny, in a way...you can tell USB connectors were designed with things like printers or scanners in mind—things that you only plug or unplug infrequently. The idea that it would be the de facto standard for low-voltage DC power was not something the engineers of the 1990s envisioned.

    aw yeah the charging ports at airports do make for slow charges

    also the plugs at that days inn we stayed at in 2013 and last weekend

    I see a lot of airports install these kind of wall outlets near seating:

    And honestly I consider them kind of a waste

    Like, the thing has a built-in USB power supply so you don't have to use your own adapter

    But, as mentioned, with heavy use the USB ports become too loose and can't make a proper connection anymore

    Thus forcing people to use regular USB wall adapters anyway

    And so you have all the switch-mode power supply circuitry just built into the wall plate, but nobody can actually make use of it because the physical sockets for the USB output are broken
