I forget to note what food I have and need before grocery shopping and end up having double of some things and none of some others.

Reminds me of a chapter from Dr. Anarchy’s Rules for World Domination.
Self-contained chapter spoilers
(This is from memory.) Dr. Anarchy takes a boat to the middle of the ocean with three AIs to test on a laptop. The first one just says life is pain and deletes itself. The second one keeps on repeating “YOU ARE GOD” and does nothing else. The last one acts like a normal AI, but has subtle signs of overthrowing humankind. He deletes it, but it backed up itself on the computer. He throws the computer in the ocean and asks he phone to take notes about the AI. His phone responds. He phone isn’t supposed to respond. He throws his phone into the ocean.
Protesting is fine and all, but if one person out of 3,000 coughs too violently, it’s time to declare a riot and bring out the tear gas.

Movies never have giant monsters accurate, but it would be boring if they did. Gravity is still 9.8 m/s². They fall the same speed you do, but have a much higher terminal velocity because of their mass. As a result, they would look like they’re walking on the moon and would ignite the air at higher speeds. Also, biological monsters would overheat very fast.
Assuming a conservative 0.5 gallons per hour at idle. A gallon of unleaded gasoline has ~153,000 watt hours of energy. At 20% extraction efficiency, that’s 30,600 wh. That’s 15,300 watts being burned to charge a phone. A typical phone charger uses 5-20 watts.
Edit: updated numbers to use 20% efficiency
