So I recently purchased a Japanese Toiletseat thing (I can't read japanese but I've just been translating little by little), and it has a ground wire (a green/yellow wire) Coming out of the back, right next to the plug.

Should I just ignore it? On the manual, it says to connect the wire to the ground socket

The power cable & ground wire look just like this:

I am tempted to just shove that thing into a ground socket, or alternatively try to buy an adapter that looks like that outlet ^^, to that will plug into a 3 prong socket.

Thanks!
