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.

That’s only true if your house runs on DC.

  Unless the cord crosses hot to neutral, connecting two ends to the same outlet won’t do anything. In fact behind the wall, that’s how the two halves of a socket, or two adjacent sockets on the same breaker, are wired.
