A cable that's shorting itself (bad), and a fuse breaker that wont trip from a short... (even worse)

.... or a burning house to be.

The breaker will still trip. They trip internally.

Yep, that shorted cable and the plug will melt and diassemble before the breaker has a reason to act.

Just jam a penny in there. No need for fuses.

Once upon a time I went to pull an outlet splitter out of the wall, and it broke. It began shorting itself and arcing. Legit one of the most terrifying things I've experienced. I'm lucky nothing exploded and sent shrapnel into my eyes - a possibility I didn't learn about until later.

Quick question, is this one of the situations where ibdividually switched sockets and fused plugs are a lot better?

If so, I don't see why other countries don't use at least switched sockets. Unless they do, and I just have never seen the switch.
