This won’t kill anybody. It’s not wired to anything but a ground wire.

    Maybe the point is rather "It generates random bullshit diagrams and if you rely on them, things will go wrong". This one might not be lethal, but some other design it produces might.

    This isn't the outlet, it's the plug that goes into the outlet. Presuming you had it would fit into (the plugs are oriented wrong), it would be about as safe as shoving a fork in instead.

    I understand what it is. But any normal GFCI would trip before it could cause any harm to anything. Even a normal breaker would trip before it created a problem, well other than sparks and likely fire. Since this is covered unlike a bare fork it is moderately safer and would not allow current through the body.

    It’s irrelevant though as the image is just stupid. If you can’t immediately see that you should never be allowed near anything electrical.

    And there actually is a plug that is oriented like that. It’s a Nema 6-15. And the great thing about it is it’s a 220v 15amp connector. And the plug would also fit in a Nema6-20 which is 20amps. So even more deadly.

    Neutral is also wired to live. Isn't that a short circuit?

    The neutral is hot but it's also grounded, electricity should take the path to the ground instead of doing anything meaningful on the neutral. You could probably measure a bit of current but not 220.
