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.

Is plasma just an orgy?

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

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

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

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?
