It’s funny all the people on here like “they’re ok when you need to backfill from your generator and you turn off from the breaker etc etc” but the problem is the people instead wondering how to plug in their Christmas tree lights that they installed backwards without taking them off the tree and redoing it.

Which past? The one filled with kings and emperors? That was a shit-tonne of me me me.

I have a 100 ft suicide cable I plug into the outlet for my stove to back-feed the house. Done right, it’s perfectly safe. Do I trust people buying 110V suicide cables from Amazon to do it right? Um...

You think people who buy power cords with male plugs at both ends are even equipped with brains? :P

Yeah, but if you fine Amazon, they’ll be sure to keep their house in order. Amazon chooses to offer a “marketplace”, they most definitely should be responsible for what they allow people to sell on there.

*flea* market

Back-feeding a house with a generator during a power outage without an appropriate cut-off switch pushes electricity onto the surrounding grid; if anyone is working on the power lines nearby they could get seriously injured or killed.

If you built it, I’m surprised that you didn’t take the more secure route of using a recessed male plug, which would have allowed you to use any standard extension cable to connect it to a power source, instead of requiring a male-male cable.

Home Depot and Menards sell a ton of non-approved shit.

I’d bet if a brick and mortar store tried to sell these they would get fined, but not the almighty Amazon.

So Amazon made a game where humans are driven to maddening amounts of labor to justify their meager earnings as automation slowly destroys them, huh

As a recovering FF11 player (Played six years), bots are a plague in any game, but they were a huge problem that became even bigger as while they started out simply hogging mining points or clusters of them non-stop fishing but then slowly learned the game and given how a half-way organized Linkshell could control…

Keto Crotch.

Don’t forget her codefendant Jesus

Having just spent $500 on yet another pair of glasses because my eyes keep getting worse, why anyone would voluntarily walk around without being able to see where they're going is quite beyond me. 

I lost it on this line. Nice.

I read that as “I literally threw up in my hands” and was very confused.

So even if the authorities decide not to press charges, couldn’t the other driver take legal action against this 17-year old future Rhodes Scholar?

She didn’t.

Did anyone NOT see this coming?
