Spin Cables: The Quantum Mechanics Of USB Frustration

Finally, someone classified USB cables according to their quantum properties! The USB-C is Spin-2 (just like the graviton), Ethernet is Spin-1 (like photons), and good ol' USB-A is Spin-1/2 (like electrons). The real quantum joke here is that, much like actual quantum particles, you'll never know which orientation is correct until you observe the failed insertion. I've spent more time flipping USB cables than I have grading papers—and that's saying something.
