I've used a suicide cord before in some rare instances. When I was finished I immediately took it apart.
You didn't do it right...

Tell me you've never used a generator without saying you've never used a generator.
Even with a generator, suicide cord is the WRONG way to do it.
Not like that'll stop anyone anyways.

Just use 2 paper clips and some duct tape, problem solved!
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)
50-50 chance whether those two outlets are on the same phase or opposite phases; if it's the latter, congrats, that's a 240V short.
Besides, if there's an outlet at the far end of your string of lights, you don't need this, you just plug it in there
You don't work around dangerous things assuming you'll never make a mistake, you work around dangerous things assuming you'll never make three mistakes at the same time.
You are not immune to making one (or more) mistakes, no matter how careful you think you are.
Correction: you don't work around dangerous things assuming you'll make a mistake long
In addition to the exposed prongs, it also means you are passing current into a circuit of unknown capacity without using a safety breaker. You may also be back feeding into your neighborhood power grid and can kill people in the street/other houses that were not expecting the lines to be energized.
The problem really is the super exposed hot prong you now have once you plug one end in
Well, maybe it's because you may die if you accidentally touched touched the prongs? The purpose of female plugs is among other reasons to prevent accidentally touching them.
I guess the fact that it can kill you easily is not enough to call it a suicide cable lmao
Yeah, let's call it a self defence cable instead. Like a corded taser.
