@fryrsquared: I'm well aware that the answer to most of my "have you ever wondered..." thoughts is highly likely to be: "No. I have not. You weirdo." But here we are.
My fingers feel heavier when I copy something on my computer and it gets lighter when I paste it

But zeros are fatter than 1s, so surely they're heavier? 🤔😂

Thank you for intelligently expanding my awareness on the weight of full and empty harddrives. I will put it to no use whatsoever but will think of this everytime I download anything. 🤣

you can feel the weight of electrons when you go from 15% charge in your EV to 100% — I could in our ID.4 anyway!

this isn't true, the electrons aren't permanently removed. they are moved to another part called the floating gate, so that the electrons can be restored when needed. for example deleting and altering data

Does this mean that I get heavier when I forget something? 😆

did they not estimate, the whole internet (electrons wise, not the infrastructure) weighs the same as a raspberry?

So in fact you could argue the 0s and 1s are the wrong way round...... Zero means you have a pot of electrons and 1 means you have no electrons?

That disobeys the second law of thermodynamics - ie you are increasing negative entropy when the 0 becomes 1 which cannot represent a decrease in mass!

This is the kind of math I’m here for.

if weight is impacted by distance from a massive objective what high change would the usb have to experience the equivalent of a bit flip.

It loses several more orders of magnitude mod mass per second from the solid materials in it sublimating molecules off.

Slight technicality but the flash chip inside a blank USB drive is filled with 1’s, not 0’s. Still, as explained by someone else, the weight doesn’t actually change as the electrons are simply moved.
