Male to male?
People are going to plug their phone directly into their computer without a cable?
Edit
The title says it's a USB drive, not an adapter
Ha gayyyyy
They are, but I don't recommend it unless you want at least one of the ports to snap internally as it hangs out the front of the PC.
The adapter shown is functionally identical to a usb 2 to usb c cable. I believe the meme is essentially suggesting the same thing you did with using a file explorer.
Kinda... But who the fuck has a male/female USB or usb-c cable sitting around???
One of the ends of this adapter should be female, or this should just be an A/C cord. The fact that it's not made me think that this is actually a thumbdrive, not that I can confirm if it actually is or what OP actually meant.
I agree that a cable would be wildly more useful than what's pictured, for what it's worth.
That said (tangentially related), I have a few male/female usb cables and they're a godsend. Extremely handy for game controllers and/or extenders for bluetooth or wireless device dongles.
Why would you need a male/female USB?
This device is basically just a really short charging/data cable. I don't understand what's so confusing about it. It's functionally identical to using the standard charging cable, just with the devices closer together.
Because in practice you're gonna need a cable anyways, since it's a vanishingly small chance that your phone's port lines up perfectly with your computer's port when you set it down.
Maybe you can find a book that's just the right height to put your phone on (RIP if you have a desktop), but just having a cable is still a better option.
This is either a male/male adapter, or a thumb drive... In either case, a-to-c USB cable would be a better solution, and a less confusing image.
