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

USB power adapter
Correct answer!
I’ve been forced to start calling these wall dongles by my fiancé, I made sure that in order to accept this terminology that wall warts with the cord attached are now dingle-dongles, and the ones with a cord before the electronics are dangle-dongles.

I’m afraid dongle refers to something else.
But it is a funny word, though!
Not to be confused with yongle
We call them Handyladegeräte, and I think that’s beautiful
Had to check that out.
Handy = mobile phone lade[n] = charge geräte = devices

I sometimes also use Netzteil.
(Literally: Net thing. The net is the power grid)
Power biscuit
Charger or phone charger
As a european, with safer plugs, a fire hazard.
Wall wart or charging brick.
Wall wart gang!
GOT EM
Okay, but also:
Simple. “USB Power Adapter”.
those are all power adapters. they’re just different ports to adapt. so bottom right is a dc power adapter, middle right is also a dc power adapter. top left is a global power adapter. top right is a power adapter with 2 usb a ports. bottom left is unknown since we don’t know what the other end is.
Top 2 are plug adapters (and probably power adapters too. I would call the bottom 3 power bricks, I guess the defining thing is bricks have a permanent cable.
Dongle? That implies connection to a host computer.
USB charger
USB-Power-Supply
Inkompatibel
The thing that goes into the plug but without the wire
Fire hazards?
Don’t order them from AliExpress.
USB bricks or USB chargers
