Here's your periodic reminder about how cursed Japanese wiring is.

This is an official, standard Apple power cable that shipped with a MacBook.
A mains power cord with a two-pronged US-style plug on the end, except there's also a yellow green ground cable sticking out the side of it with a screw-in "pitchfork" on the end

In case you're curious how you connect that to the wall...
A plug in a wall socket. The outlet has two US-style two-prong outlets, except under them there is a ground screwed with the aforementioned ground wire screwed in
