This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

North American ovens run on 240v, they probably just need to replace the heating element

But my EU oven runs on 380V-16A three-phase, because we in the Netherlands and Germany are special snowflakes.

That's awesome. You could probably run a proper kiln in place of your oven if you felt like it.

My Finnish oven runs on 380V too, although it'd hard-wired insted of a weird plug.
