Complete change of gear for a moment. This is a male to male extension cord, called by electricians a Suicide Cord. The reason why is very simple, unlike other extension cords, this gives you two completely exposed contact surfaces which are 100% live and connected to the wall outlet, if you so much as touch the prongs, you will fucking die.
Don't make one of these, there's a reason you cannot go and buy them in stores, and these cords are almost always hand made by someone who doesn't know better, and/or should know better. The way these are usually made will preclude them from tripping your circuit breaker or fusebox, meaning once the zapping starts it will not stop until you break contact, which may be very difficult to do when being electrified.
I find the entire notion of these existing to be somehow hilarious, because of what a ridiculously dangerous and irresponsible item they are.
