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

goddammit heres an upvote

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

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

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.
