We call it the firestarter 3000
I mean, I'm sure the device itself is built like shit and a fire hazard that way but just plugging too much stuff in will (ideally) throw a breaker before it starts a fire. It's what the breakers are there for, after all. Before anybody says anything about it, yes an individual outlet can take the whole load of the circuit, precisely because of silly shit like this.

It actually looks like a skyscraper with sad faces looking out of the window :(

dorm, gaming room, fire.
Hmmmmmm. One those is more likely to happen then the rest.
Surprisingly appropriate use of "then"
Grammatical whiplash.
Dorm > gaming room > fire

That last part just saying Fire is the funniest part
Everyone's laughing at the fire hazard, but I would unironically buy this if it was a power strip and not a surge protector because I'm already basically doing this with four separate power strips into a single uninterruptible power supply for all of my retro video game consoles, modem, router, roku, and my television. The trick is basically nothing is ever on at any given time so right now the current output is only 36 watts.
I have the 22 port, actual, real version of this. It's leveled up my cable organization game.
Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it's a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.
Power strips are fine as long as you aren't exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that's how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.
All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I'm ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don't lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can't even save the damn game lol

Ah yes, for my 66.... 13w? Devices.
I guess a bunch of LED strings and maybe a phone charger (low-speed 5v 3a only).
Edit: also, what is 12-14 usb charging ports? You're not sure how many there are? Does it vary from package to package?
The 12-14 USB ports is my favorite part, like they couldn’t be bothered to count, or it varies.
I love how the cord is only 6" long, so you've either got to bolt this monstrosity to the wall immediately beside the outlet, or plug it into another extension...

Is this going to get bigger every time it's reposted?
This is almost real.

Now that I know this, uh, I might be about to buy one.
I own one. They're fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can't plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.
Most of the stuff I'm plugging in is a few watts.
Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.
Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W
With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D

I'd do some research if I were you. I don't like plugging anything into a surge protector without a solid warranty that covers equipment damage and I've never heard of SUPERDANNY..
I don't consider anything like this a "surge protector," just a power strip.
Any equipment I actually give a rat's ass about in that respect is connected to a UPS anyhow.

Well since college dorms ban portable heaters, I guess this will have to do... 🤷♂️
“Your cat will love the ambient heat it gives off even when nothing is plugged in.”
And that one fat bastard plug will still cover 9 ports around it.
Can I get the male/male suicide cable and plug it into itself?
The original artist who made this is NanoRaptor, btw. You can find them on Mastodon.

That looks just about enough for an average power user setup
This is how you plug in a harpejji 
The high-gauge cable on the plug is chef's kiss
I'm stuck between "Omg yes pls! OwO" and "Oh God pls no!".
Finally, a surge ~~generator~~ protector worthy of my x-mas tree and multimedia setup.
Plot twist: They're connected into a single serial circuit for safety reasons
