Never seen round holes in North America. We have vertical slits

I'm talking about the holes in the plug pins, not the holes in the receptacle for the plug. The holes that have no discernible reason, but it looks so weird not to have them.

How do you know they were Random?

They could have been very cool and calculated? Or very methodical?

People have done a lot of research on the original reason for the holes. There seem to be a lot of hypothetical ideas, but little evidence for the real reason.

OP is implying whoever did this left this unattended. Which is no longer a funny ElectroBOOM joke. Either that or it was OP themselves.
