Here’s a short extension cord version of one
The explanation of why they’re a bad idea is valid though. Usually the kinds of people who know just enough to want this type of plug are also the type of people I wouldn’t trust with one.
I trust NANCHANGZHENGFUYUANGUOJIMAOYIYOUXIANGONGSI for all my dangerously illegal electrical needs!
Even funnier is if you click on the brand SCTOU to see other products, the other items from SCTOU appear to be questionable body armor and anti-bird spikes. Seller names are different as well, but they’re all similar random Chinese names.
Am I crazy or is the example picture of the interlock backwards. Both sides can be turned on, but only one can be off at the same time 😅
You’re right, I hadn’t noticed that. They have the breakers labeled backwards from how they normally are.
I’m not well informed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if in some places it wouldn’t be legal to sell that kind of cords (because of being a safety hazard and such).
For a generator you ideally want a 220v version so that you can power all the circuits in your house. Which makes the suicide cord all the scarier.
Omg please everyone report that listing z
They should put what they are called in the electrical world to help drive home the point. “Suicide cords”
Sales go up
Minus the cord?
It cracks me up that they’ll sell chainsaws to anyone.
But… They do exist. They’re just incredibly stupid and dangerous.
It’s also a good thing dildos aren’t made of
metal and connected to voltage.Some are and some pay extra for that…
Like, a motor… The State of Arkansas would pay you for a novel execution device though.
You don’t sound fun
Was at a Christmas party last night and a guy dropped a 2 foot long double ended dildo on the table.
Male to Male adapters exist, but electrically questionable.
They could’ve just said, “If you want a double-ended male plug, go check out the Adam and Eve store webpage.”
“And don’t forget the code Ship2 for get 50% off your order!”
Hmmm not sure what I would do with TWO double male plugs. I don’t have that many people in my bed at once. : / Ummmm you should probably ignore that whole sentence…
I have had this conversation multiple times, about multiple cable types, while in elections sales.
What’s the best analogy or wording you’ve found for conveying the nature of the problem to people?
Now I really want one.
Pretty sad that it needs to be explained why these are generally a terrible idea
Every day there are thousands of people who hear about this for the first time. I’d link the relevant xkcd but I’m too lazy right now
Here you go: https://xkcd.com/1053/
Anything exists if you’re skilled enough with flatware and snips
You have conjured an image that is both more effort and more dangerous than OP.
americans…
Oh, bug off.
