Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, brothers Herman (the intellectual donkey) and Corn (the methodical sloth) dive into the confusing world of USB-C. Following the EU’s mandate for a universal charging standard, they explore whether this move truly reduces e-waste or simply creates a new layer of "functional incompatibility." From 240-watt power delivery to the hidden complexity of gas station cables, the duo breaks down why your "universal" plug might not be so universal after all. They also tackle the durability of modern ports, the hidden costs of controller chips, and why a listener in Ohio thinks the whole thing is a conspiracy against his possessed cat.
