I'm kind of curious to see if plugging my phone (which charges via USB-C) into my laptop's charger (which plugs into one of my laptop's USB-C ports would blow it up.

I obviously won't do it, but I'm still curious.

I'm glad that there's sort of an agreed-upon standard for phone chargers now, but you're right that it's also a bit of a problem.

Go ahead and do it. USB-C charges slowly and safely until both sides negotiate a faster but still safe charging speed.
