Here’s a short extension cord version of one
The explanation of why they’re a bad idea is valid though. Usually the kinds of people who know just enough to want this type of plug are also the type of people I wouldn’t trust with one.

Even funnier is if you click on the brand SCTOU to see other products, their other items appear to be questionable body armor and anti-bird spikes. Seller names are different as well, but they’re all similar random Chinese names.

Those “anti bird spikes” look like razor sharp bladed caltrops to me!

The car community has a saying “Only when you know all the rules are you allowed to break some of them”

Also in TRRPG community, but they break it all the time.

Am I crazy or is the example picture of the interlock backwards. Both sides can be turned on, but only one can be off at the same time 😅
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
You’re right, I hadn’t noticed that. They have the breakers labeled backwards from how they normally are.

Yea I had to scroll down to the review pictures, I seriously thought I was going crazy over what is a super simple thing lol

I'm not well informed, but I wouldn't be surprised if in some places it wouldn't be legal to sell that kind of cords (because of being a safety hazard and such).

For a generator you ideally want a 220v version so that you can power all the circuits in your house. Which makes the suicide cord all the scarier.

Omg please everyone report that listing z

It’s pretty telling that the product page has zero reviews. I don’t think this product has any surviving users.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I think it’s been taken down and relisted multiple times, possibly due to reports. I’ve seen these plugs on amazon for years now.
elliot_crane@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Yeah makes sense. The whole listing is super sketchy.

Yeah but the cable has “anti snow” feature so…
