  Unless you accidentally touch one if the prongs after plugging one end in… 😅

  Unless one of your outlets is wired backwards, plugging this into 2 outlets on the same side of your electrical panel won’t do anything.

  If you were able to plug it into outlets on different sides of your panel, then you just created a 240v short and the cable is going to be real-spicy real-quick.

  Alternatively, One can plug one end in, then you have a creative new way to parent.

    i managed to do that to myself once in my sleep; i had managed to wrap my arm around a lamp cord which came out of the plug, and when i rolled over i managed to put my thumb on the exposed wires.

      I’ll never understand why the US refuses to modernize the horrid NEMA 5 connectors. A recessed receptacle, insulators around the base of the live and neutral blades, spring-loaded detention mechanism to keep the connector from slipping out… in its current state, it’s only two steps removed from sticking the bare wires into the socket.

        Tbh insulating the blades bases would be a huge step in the right direction, and there’s no remodeling required.

        At least for homeowners, factories would need new production lines presumably.

        1. Arrogance: we especially don’t want to do it because the rest of the world does.
        2. Cost: not the equipment, though that can get pretty pricey considering we up the margins on everything, but mostly labor; labor is ungodly expensive (they cry insurance or (my fave) “you’re paying for the years of experience”).
