    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

      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.

      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.
