Turns out, there’s a rule against exterminating all life in the universe with a wish, but the genie doesn’t know what an electron is or what adding one to every atom will do, so you’ve found yourself a loophole.

Genie, looking up Wikipedia:
Aah, I understand. Nice wish, granted!

  Wouldn’t that make reality crash? Unless the genie can spawn all the electrons at once, but in that case you’d be talking to god.

I’m a physicist, not a genie, and I have no fucking clue what adding an electron to every atom would do. I can’t even begin to fathom the question.

  Whatever it is that happens, it would be pretty violent.
  “What If” had a slightly different, more localized but more concentrated premise it covered once:
  Electron Moon

  I don’t know either, I just think the consequences would be very negative.

  break all chemical bonds immediately, there will probably be further consequences regarding a universal electron imbalance, but we would already be atomised
