          If I say “my phone is out of juice, let me grab a spare battery” most people will be confused if I start putting a bunch of tools in a box. Nobody will be confused if I simply grab an external battery.

          Common sense isn’t a thing that exists, it’s a lazy trope used when you don’t want to explain something you think is obvious.
