Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?
Adding length creates more resistance which creates more heat. Thinner conductors can’t handle it as well.
And more surface area for heat dissipation. lemm.ee/comment/17115060
TIL. Maybe I was conflating daisy-chaining power strips with extension cords and came up with that as a reason it was bad.
