I don't really get it. Sure, the exposed prongs would be energized once you plugged one side in, but if you plugged the other side into a second outlet (assuming you didn't cross live/neutral), nothing would happen. (those two outlets were likely tied together anyway)
... but you don't really care for logic do ya?
You can also use them to test the voltage, similar to testing a 9v battery.
aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh lic-
i guess if someone's putting up their lights backwards, then it makes sense that that person also thinks it's less work to drive to the hardware store and buy a non-existent extension cord than it is to just redo the lights
So if these are people wiring their Christmas lights wrong, assuming these are led lights, doesn't this "solution" not work bc of the polarity anyway? Or is that only a DC thing with diodes? I only did okay in my physics electricity stuff lol
For simple stuff such as those lights, polarity is usually not a problem when using AC.
In case of AC (Alternating Current), instead of having a + and - pole, you have a Line and a Neutral terminal.
The Line terminal goes + ... - ... + ... - ... + ... - with time and the Neutral stays at 0.
When connecting to LEDs and such, you have an AC to DC converter, which tends to be fine no matter which pin you put in which hole.
Edit for clarity: I am talking only about the specific appliance in this case, having a 2 pin plug. When doing home wiring, polarity matters a lot.

They tried calling it a doom cord, but heavy metal band started having electrical problems.
