What would happen if...?

If I was to connect one end of a power cord to another end of a power cord, and plugged the two inputs into a wall socket, what would happen?

Here's a diagram, in case you're confused.

This is a really dumb question, I know. I'm just curious, but I'm nervous to try it out myself, scared that something might blow up in my face. Lol thanks!

    The blowing up in your face is an option. It may also just trip the circuit breaker. If you don't properly ground your self you may also get a good little jolt. Anyway, good luck with that.

    It literally, would blow up, ruin your outlets, and basically melt the cables. It's not a good idea to try it. Don't
