Funnily enough we had such a cable at home for reasons unknown to me. Then of course the inevitable happened: I was electrocuted by it. I'm fine, but I can definitely agree that such a cable should not ever be made, whatever the reasoning, just don't do it.

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

if you have a generator and your house has no electricity, you can power your house by plugging a generator into an outlet.
I am not an electrician and dont know how this would safely be done, i assume your house would need to be disconnected from the grid or something.
There are cases when electricians working on the street to restore power get shocked by some house generator feeding power back to the grid.
That makes sense, people shouldn't do that then i guess.
I made one of these when I was young, poor, homeless, and imminently dying due to being swiftly being frozen to death (with bone tumors coming in second place in the death race). I was able to get an abandoned metal shead with a small heater working quickly in a sudden ice storm using on hand parts and a pirated "outside" power line.
Outside of a significant situation like that... it's not a good idea
Thatβs badass, glad you made it and wrangled the naughty plug
I mean he'll, in high school residential electricity class we had one of these for testing our walls, one time it burnt out a wire and the teacher only let me fix it as I was the top of the class, mind you we were only a class of 6 so...
In those situations, that is the best class sizes for electricity tomfoolery, sprinkled heavily with bravely, and a side of youth assumed immortality.
It is also a good class size to swiftly move bodies, of things get too bad.
I had a similar sized class when I apprenticed as an electrical worker via "future farmers if America" funding.
I learned so many good ways to fix things correctly, and three times that number in "bad" ways to fix things.
Guerrilla learning method with pratical daily needed subjects is SORELY missed now-a-days.
No frotting the electricity
Sound it instead.
