I saw a video on YouTube where a guy did plug a male to male in and guess what, nothing happened. He went on to explain that most outlets have a safety mechanism for this scenario built-in.

wat? The only dangerous part of this scenario is when you only have one end plugged in and you have a hot, male plug. Unless you reverse one of the ends, the outlet wont react and if you do short it by reversing the ends, the Breaker, not the outlet will cut off the power.

Also, you also shouldn't have male-to-male cords in the first place.

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I will introduce more rules later and when I finish doing that I will make an announcement post about that.

For overall temporary guide check out the rules here: https://www.reddit.com/r/hmmm/wiki/rules/

I won't be moving all of them here but I will keep most of them.
