Most satisfying cable to plug in?

Not a single penis joke in the entire thread? I am disappointed...

 

Edit:

But several mentions of "DP" and at least one mention of "virgin".

Close enough I guess.

Well this isn't a plug but the feeling of switching circuit breakers on and off is so satisfying. I flipped an old 300 amp breaker in the metal shop at my school and I had to put nearly all my weight on it to switch it off.

 

(I think it was similar to this)

So awesome to plug in. It makes you feel like you are actually plugging something in.

 

This one is a close second.

For me it would be the locking SATA connectors, apple lightning cable, well-maintained micro-usb and the massive full-size headphone plug like the huge studio plug ones

Anything that has a clicky locking mechanism

Notably: PCI-E, Displayport, Ethernet.

Favourite of all time would be VGA, get that screwed in nice and tight, my monitor ain't going nowhere my PC ain't following :)

 

Nowadays has to be RJ45. Hate HDMI, DP is a bit meh, it does click but the actual insertion is always such a huge letdown........ story of my life really. :P

USB-C, DP, HDMI, RJ45, Power connector from Lenovo L560's which we have in school

You can take a look at all of the Tech that I own and have owned over the years in my About Me section and on my Profile.

 

I'm Swiss and my Mother language is Swiss German of course, I speak the Aargauer dialect. If you want to watch a great video about Swiss German which explains the language and outlines the Basics, then click here.

 

If I could just play Videogames and consume Cool Content all day long for the rest of my life, then that would be sick.

What's your most favorite cable to plug in? My favorite is an Ethernet cable. I like how it just locks into place.

 

 

P.S.: I'd rather not make this topic a huge innuendo, but I'll have to let nature take its course. :P

IDE and floppy cables, Ethernet cables, I would say VGA, if I could look through the monitor and connect that puppy easily...

I hate that. It requires so much force and you have to make sure to give the bottom of the motherboard enough support so you don't snap it. 

Make sure to quote or tag me (@JoostinOnline) or I won't see your response!

The problem is that penis jokes don't really fit in here. It's quite hard to insert them in topics like this. You must feel unsatisfied with the forum right now. But to be honest, it's quite a stiff thread. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Banana plugs I like and they're super boss to pull out.

Apple Mag Safe. Magnetized conectors are the best. No effort, just let the magnet do the work. Most of women's bags and some men's bag uses magnetized buttons.
