Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I see at least two problems here:
Don't pull on the cable, pull on the plug.
Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.
Ah yes, I'll just replace all my power sockets, get rid of all my electronics, and only buy imported European electronics from now on.
It's so obvious, why didn't I think of it before.
Oh yeah, and rewire my whole house to 240 V. Easy peasy.
To be fair, switching to 240v is pretty easy, just move the neutral to a hot leg in the fuse box.
Wouldn't that hot leg need to be 180 degrees out of phase with the other?
Yes but I was’t trying to write a book this morning.
I'm no electricityologist, but wouldn't that make half your circuits 240V and the other half deadly 0V?
Nope
Major side benefit of finally having a decent vacuum cleaner..
