Not just the house fuse. They'd arc flash their eyeballs and probably develop tinnitus.
Some Americans would be dead in an afternoon if they had access to 240 at every outlet, and others would do it on purpose to try and get a settlement payout. If you ever wonder why there's so many warning labels, this is why.

    at least all the european plugs i've seen are responsibly built. They expose the contacts on the very end of the little needly things so you can't just casually touch them while plugging something in. Here, the entire shaft is metal and you can just like, touch both of them with the plug half plugged in.
