Why totem pole output should not be tied together

If you tie two totem-pole outputs together, they will "fight to the death" if they are set to different logic levels.
You can use diodes from each output with a pull-up or pull-down resistor, depending on the logic you want.
You can tie open-collector outputs together and use a pull-up resistor to create a wired AND gate.
