    One day I realized I developed a skill for correctly inserting the USB on first try and I’m in an existential crisis ever since.

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

      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.

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

    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.

    Here’s the way: look at the little “crack” on the middle of the plug on one side (the vast vast vast majority have one) – that should be facing down. I haven’t used a vertical plug in a while but I think it faces left there.

    For the forsaken anguish of God, microUSB, it’s reversed, so crack up.

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

      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.

        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.

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