TLDW: Nothing happens (US Plug, 120V circuit, with a "standard" 2 prong outlet)

This is because the dual plug outlet already has connected/Shared Neutrals and connected/shared Hot, powered by the same source.

Don't do this

I still want to see, I guess it would be, if you plug from one outlet to another. Do you know?

I suspect the but am not sure that the same nothing would happen if you plugged it into a different outlet in the room. Since reason nothing happened here was claimed to be that the connections are all shared, and since outlets are wired from one outlet to the next, they would still share the hot, neutral, and ground.
