You know its good satire when you gotta think for a minute about whether this was serious or not.
Well if it was real they would have realized the mistake the moment they plugged it in. Since it’s plugged in for the picture, we know they are doing satire
The perfect dorm-warming gift:
My friend worked in a hardware store for a couple years and he said that around Christmas time you get about a dozen people asking for these.
This tale is old, and I still don't understand what people try to accomplish with these?! Like, I know hanging like a trillion extenders behind each other is also a way to start a fire, but what are people trying to do with male-to-male cables? I'm at a loss.
They get requested around Christmas time because someone strung their lights the wrong way and now wants to connect the female end of the lights directly to the wall instead of reversing all the lights they just hung.

There's a type of power cord
You'll touch the end and see the Lord
And you wouldn't want that current going through ya
While male on male is usually great
You'll find yourself in a sorry state
You'll learn volts jolt but milliamps will kill you
hallelujah etc

Made 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.

Honestly, if it was plastic & around the block instead of the outlet, then that'll be a pretty good idea. Plus, we have 3-D printers, so it should be easy
Every time I see US sockets, I get the heebie jeebies. Or any non-recessed socket really, but at least most add insulation to the base of the prongs. No such luck here.

It'd be alright if made from plastic.
And yes, I've chosen to disregard that something between the connector and the socket theoretically makes it more unsafe; US sockets are an awful design to begin with, so it doesn't make much of a difference.
