For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Real clear what is going on here.

It's a continuation cord. You see, the wiring works like this: The receptacle is split on both sides. The incoming power is double lugged on the bottom outlet. The outgoing power (to continue the circuit) is double lugged on the top outlet. You have to use the continuation cord to get the power from the bottom outlet to the top one.

Like I said, simple! /s
