      White, black, and green coming up the wire. Black to black, white to white, green to ground (not applicable with this type of plug). As wired it would flip the circuit breaker virtually instantly but, if you are really lucky, electrocute you or start a fire with that extra green cord sticking out.

      you can more or less see the differences there. Outlets (typically) have the colors in the op’s picture, plugs are often different. Some of the ideas are expressed in the pic, like the clamps, while others seem to be a weird skewing of outlets and plugs, and some are obviously just bizarre (read, idiotic for a person with any brainpower) like the white-to-black-to-green pathing.
