Why is an electric cord with two plug end (and no ‘outlet’ end) so cursed and could it have a use even if it’s kind of pointless?

Answer 1

The two more common scenarios I’ve seen either involve someone who realized they hung up decorative lights backwards, or they’re trying to backfeed a generator into a home.

Either way, the usage of a male-male power cord is an attempt to take the easy approach which introduces major safety hazards rather than taking the correct approach.
