As somebody who has put on weight over lockdown, I wish it were a matter of a mere 9.1093837015 × 10−31 kg.
Yeah, I'm aware electrons have some mass, though it's fairly negligible.What I really meant was mass comparable to protons and neutrons, but I phrased it very badly. I'll come up with better wording.
