i had an absolute moment of shock when i plugged in my usb-c dock to my smartphone only for my full-sized keyboard and mouse to suddenly came alive on the tiny android screen. that then sent me down a rabbithole of "wow, could i actually use this as a desktop???" (long answer: no, although maybe with samsung dex you could.)
I still sometimes do it, just for the "this is ridiculous" entertainment factor. where it gets really fun is when you install termux, and start using it as if it were a desktop machine. all on a tiny screen.
the most entertaining thing was to run a tmux session inside termux, and then ssh from my desktop machine into the phone, and then attach to the tmux session. Typing characters from my desktop ssh session would then ofcourse be immediately visible on the phone's tmux session (and vice versa). about 200ms delay, not too unusable.
