It has always been a question of mine that ive never gotten answered in a way that I understand. Like, how do you go from motion in my generator to electricity for my toaster? how does the energy go from spinny-magnet in the box outside to lightning in my walls? I don’t understand.

Electricity and magnetism are two sides of the same coin called electromagnetism. So they can affect one another.
A spinning magnet can sort of “push” electrons in nearby wires, creating a current and therefore generating electricity.
Conversely, an electric current can “push” a magnet. That’s how we can turn electricity back into spinning in electric motors.
