    Sure, there’s a lot of plug sockets there, but I don’t see a single plug in that image

      Five-bed home looks gorgeous on the outside - but inside there’s a horrifying amount of NEMA 5-15 receptacles

      FTFY

            Maybe let’s just say that you and I have different senses of humour and leave it at that.

            For me, the humour comes from the fact that I pretended not to understand the image and point out that there are no plugs in the image. It’s a bit of wordplay that relies on the fact that people sometimes call plug sockets plugs.

        the technical term is a convenience receptactle, which accepts the plugs from the item that needs power.

        Colloquially you’re correct. But in discussion its proabably worth it to differentiate, but I definitely still say “wheres the plug-in” at.
