No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I’ve called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you’re asking someone if they’ve seen any (______)'s

    My stepkid had one of these exact ones. He pulled it out and the outside sleeve detached.

    The internals on these are incredibly unsafe. There’s a very high chance you can rip it out, and the tines will remain plugged in, with nothing to grab onto to remove them. The tines themselves are only pinched internally by a weak little bit of metal to connect to the rest of it, not even soldered.
