Not again

I don’t really get it. Sure, the exposed prongs would be energized once you plugged one side in, but if you plugged the other side into a second outlet (assuming you didn’t cross live/neutral), nothing would happen. (those two outlets were likely tied together anyway)

Foofighter ,

Well, maybe it’s because you may die if you accidentally touched touched the prongs? The purpose of female plugs is among other reasons to prevent accidentally touching them.

QuizzaciousOtter ,

I guess the fact that it can kill you easily is not enough to call it a suicide cable lmao

dufkm ,

Yeah, let’s call it a self defence cable instead. Like a corded taser.

The problem really is the super exposed hot prong you now have once you plug one end in

ayyy ,

In addition to the exposed prongs, it also means you are passing current into a circuit of unknown capacity without using a safety breaker. You may also be back feeding into your neighborhood power grid and can kill people in the street/other houses that were not expecting the lines to be energized.

mipadaitu ,

You don’t work around dangerous things assuming you’ll never make a mistake, you work around dangerous things assuming you’ll never make three mistakes at the same time.

You are not immune to making one (or more) mistakes, no matter how careful you think you are.

BaumGeist ,

Correction: you don’t work around dangerous things assuming you’ll make a mistake long

Revan343 , (edited )

50-50 chance whether those two outlets are on the same phase or opposite phases; if it’s the latter, congrats, that’s a 240V short.

Besides, if there’s an outlet at the far end of your string of lights, you don’t need this, you just plug it in there

Duamerthrax ,

Why would you “need” one of these if you could plug in the other end into a second outlet? The point is that idiots don’t plan out their christmas light layout and end up with the wrong end at the outlet. They decide that they would rather drive to the hardware store and buy/build a suicide cable rather then just taking the lights down and rehanging them or running an extension cord to where the male end of the lights are.

Davidchan ,

Double live is very bad and the cord becomes a literal short. If you’re lucky a breaker will flip or fuse burn out. If you’re not so lucky you have a cable thats either going to start a fire burning its insulation off and melting itself, or potentially exploding depending on quality and type of cable.

brianorca ,

Two things: 1: there’s a high chance you do cross live and neutral, or even live and live on different phases. 2: using it to plug in a generator to power your house can kill electrical workers who are trying to restore a power outage. (If you fail to open your circuit breaker.)

I believe this is the woman in her 30’s being referred to in the title.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

I knew what video this was and had a little lol anyway. She does a good job.

Duamerthrax ,

Is there a version of that without the tiktok woman?

over_clox ,

Yes, apparently so. Very underrated video IMHO…

Dude! Wtf?! They just asked a question. Jesus Christ, why so mean?

Some people can’t help it they have to jump at you for asking a question

Ilovethebomb ,

I’m not sure if you two are serious or not, and that just makes this even better.

Surely we can’t be serious?

I’ve used a suicide cord before in some rare instances. When I was finished I immediately took it apart.

Entropywins ,

You didn’t do it right…

scottywh ,

I used to use one to get power into my popup camper…

Duamerthrax ,

Where was the power originally suppose to come in? They make power “Inlets” for that sort of thing. This one is designed with an Interconnect Switch for hooking into a system with Mains, but a camper with outlets should just have a inlet somewhere.

scottywh ,

Fuck if I know… I bought the thing used from a buddy like 12 years ago and that was the cord he’d always used … Plugs into a regular outlet on the outside of the camper and then the outlets inside have power.

i would fucking hope it’s dead by then, just like how i don’t worry about the feelings of a cooked porkchop

the horrifying part is when the rice is harvested and processed, dear lord
