So say one of my usb c cables inevitably poops the bed and everytime I plug it in my phone it says “slow charging”. Does it damage my phone at all to continue using that cable for long stretches of slow charging?

    Without knowing what, if anything, is electrically wrong with your cable, your adapter, or your phone, there’s no way to answer this question. It will most likely have absolutely no effect. There’s a small but non-zero chance it could cause catastrophic damage. You have to weigh up the price of replacing your phone against the price of replacing your cable.
