I just recently did the same with a set of patio lights. Was shortening a set of lights which hang over my porch. Measured out the length I needed, cut the cord, attached a new female end. Went to plug the other end in… also female!

shalafi@lemmy.world 1 day agoMade one of these on accident.
Threw one end of the cord out in the yard and put a new male plug on the other end. Went to plug my saw in and found a male end. Silly me! So I swapped the cord around the threw the other end in the yard. Went to plug my saw in and found a male end. Stood there a minute trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

Female-female is OK. It’s male-male that’s hot. Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I’m sure Freud would have something to say about that “mistake”.

OK, that got a literal LOL over here. And that fact I tried to make it work twice!

I did this with sausages on plates once. I’d laid out 2 for me, 2 for my wife. She said she only wanted one, I swapped one of hers for one of mine, but I couldn’t work out why there were still two on each plate. I tried again, same result. Had to take a pause for a sec and and work out what exactly was going wrong 😂
