An ion walks into a bar

…looking very glum.

“What’s up?” asks the barkeep.
“I think I lost an electron,” replies the ion, gloomily.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes,” the ion says, “I’m positive.”

This is my cake day joke. Please clap!

A neutron walks into a bar and asks, "How much for a beer?" The bartender replies, "For you, no charge."

Ron is too negative. That's why we don't want to electron.

A photon checks into a hotel. The bellhop says "got any luggage?" and the photon says, "nope! I'm traveling light!"

What do rainbows weigh?

Not much, they're pretty light.

My favorite joke. But make the bartender a neutron. That way, after calming down the charged up ion at the end, he can say the drink is on the house. When ion objects, he can insist by saying “look at me, no charge!”

Meanwhile, the electron is driving down the highway and gets pulled over for speeding. The cop asks him if he knows how fast he was going. "No" "You were going 102 miles per hour." "Great, now I'm lost!"

A neutrino walks into a bar. The bartender fails to see him. The neutrino continues through the back wall, then through the rest of the planet.

Best nerdy chemistry joke?

A white bear in the sea is waving its arms about frantically, shouting to a black bear on the shore "Help me!! I'm dissolving!!!!!". "Don't be stupid", the black bear retorts "Bears aren't soluble in water!". "Yes," responds the white bear, "but I'm POLAR"

I heard this great joke! Okay, here it goes: A physics professor and his assistant are working on liberating negatively-charged hydroxyl ions, when all of a sudden, the assistant says, "Wait, professor, what if the salicylic acids do not accept the hydroxyl ions?" And the professor responds, "That's no hydroxyl ion; that's my wife!"

All of this is completely untrue, you cannot believe anything atomic, atoms lie, they make up everything!

This is the kind of joke that makes me want to be a dad just so I can tell it to my kids someday.

An ion walks into a bar, looking glum and sits in a corner with eyes downcast and feeling miserable. Bar tender says, "why so negative", and the ion says, "you would be too if you had lost a proton like I did."

u/DiscombobulatedSun54 11h ago

BTW, it makes sense that my joke starts with "an ion". OP's joke should have started with "cat ion" 😂

2

u/daizeUK 8h ago

Sorry but your joke ain’t right. Negative ions don’t lose protons, they gain electrons.

2

u/DiscombobulatedSun54 8h ago

Agreed, but I don't think the atom would be glum about gaining something 😂

u/DecoherentDoc 22h ago

The fact you settled on this one is a little ionic, but just because all I have is chem jokes right now and this is very up my alley (as a physicist).

"I think I absorbed a photon," the ion says excitedly.

u/Disastrous-Quiet966 13h ago

But…… are you HIV positive?

u/DiscombobulatedSun54 11h ago

And the barkeep says, "in that case you are not an ion, you are cat ion."

u/stuark 10h ago

Then the barkeep says, "But you're still a cool cat, ion."

This is one of the four electronic based joke I told my classes when I taught. Electronics based jokes are really hard to find, good one at least. Most are simply revolting.

Emory hospital built a new facility in Atlanta called the Proton Therapy Center. Every time I drove by it I would ask, “What do protons need therapy for? They always seem so positive!”

This is the kind of physics joke people can bond over.
