Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

I took my phone charger on a business trip instead of the laptop's power brick since is actually rated for a higher power draw while being a quarter the size. Worked perfectly well.

Those GaN chargers are ridiculously good.

It wouldn't have been baffling, may just a slight bit surprising

It still takes me a second, my laptop charger absolutely could not charge an Xbox controller. Then I remember a lot of newer efficient ones charge USB C.

It would have been even more baffling in 1905.

Well, in 1905 they did know about electricity and batteries so charger might at least be a word they could figure out instead of wondering how you got a tiny war horse in your lap.

I charged my frisbee with my couch

The other way around is way weirder. "I forgot my laptop charge, but I have my phone charger, so that works!"
