They can technically be used to power your home from a generator... but please don't

Oh fuck. They can.

Will they burn before the wall wiring? Who knows?!?

Will you forget to shut the breaker down before plugging? YES! How is that even a question?

Just don't forget to disconnect the breakers. This is AC, not DC. Additionally to voltage, you'd also need to perfectly match frequency and phase.
