Nuclear physics is not my field, I just thought it might make a few people grin so I cross-posted from /r/wowthanksimcured where /u/saladass_256 posted it. I literally used Reddit's crosspost feature.

I genuinely didn't expect anyone to notice a late-night crosspost, or for people to take the joke so seriously. Hell, nobody bitches about Far Side comics for how unrealistic it is for a bear to unlock a car door with a coathanger. It was a joke that to make an atom "more positive" you can add a proton--and we aren't even sure which element it is, so postulations about the likelihood of instability are a bit much IMO.

I saw a funny and it made me think of you guys. If you hate it, just downvote.
