My grandpa (electrician) was telling me about electrons. I was so fascinated with things like current not being speed, and magnetic force, and batteries. I think I've learned now everything there is to learn about electrons - electronics, electrochemistry, magnetooptics, electron microscopy, positron tomography, xray generation, power generation, electrites, etc, etc.

Still unemployed lol.

    Damnit, this is why the world needs some sort of universal basic income system. You might be the one to create effectively free energy or something but we'll never know.

    there's 2 types of electric current: electrons flowing through a wire, and protons flowing through water

    the second kind is also called a pH gradient (because pH value measures how many protons there are in water) and is the main theme of most of biochemistry. since biochemistry is all about moving protons (and other charged ions) around. so this opens up a whole new field (biochemistry) for you!

    Well, to be honest, I did try to sell live yeast I grow through pure culture protocol at home in my tiny lab, but demand is so low (and yes, it's regulated so I have to please the big brother by paying for their nonsense sanitary checkups which costed more than I made in revenue), that I just make beer for myself now.

    Also, to be honest, there are way more forms of electric current. There is plasma conductivity, superconducting pairs dynamics, molecular conductivity through coupled orbitals, quasiparticle conductivity and other weirdness of solid state (Hall effect shows whether it's electrons or holes where electrons are missing are charge carriers, for example). World is beautiful.
