I tried to date an electron once, but I could never figure out her position on any subject without disturbing her and her whole orbit of friends.

More of a blender factory jumbo jet crash site

Nah, they have other electrons to spin around with. Unless we're talking about hydrogen.

It’s cool they’re into being cucked by bigger subatomic particles

They’re getting one-night stand action with photons though. Bohr caught them in action

[–] EmoBean@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Electrons are cucks that want to be cucks

three birds, GTK and QT getting along, with "Electron" in the background menacingly watching

i thought this was gonna be the meme and forgot for a second what an atom is

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Like nature intended. Even here QT seems more customisable!

If I recall correctly, electrons in s orbitals have a nonzero probability of being observed inside the nucleus. So I guess they would be less lonely?

Electrons are fine. They are in a band somewhere filling holes.
