Not do we need a "special adapter" but a converter as well, as Households in the US use 110V opposed to the usual 230V.
It's less of a problem nowadays where most things have switching power supplies that can handle either just fine
Oh don't worry about that, just plug in your 110V appliances and watch them run twice as fast

Houses in the US generally have 220v too but not at ordinary wall outlets
There's a technology connections video on it if you're interested in the specifics
A few years ago there was the possibility of me moving to the US from Germany and if I would have bought a house there, I would probably have installed additional Schuko-outlets all over the place.
Why?
Because he makes videos about technical details like this.
And don't call me Shirley.

We simply use travel adapters.
