Pretty sure you can't hold atoms that close, there's a repelling force. Something to so with the four fundamentals... Er... Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electomagnetic and gravity.

Then you understand the gravity of the situation.

There also aren’t little bars connecting atoms, and atoms don’t have faces. But here we are.

But maybe what if they do have little faces and they are just shy and won’t look at the camera?

Something about quantum physics and change the outcome by looking at it? There now it's science

You are cool with the mushroom having hands though?

You can definitely hold atoms that close together, but it tends to have bad results.

I'm doing it right now and it's fine.

Dude, share your cold fusion reactor and save the planet!

It's a magic mushroom.

Hehe yeah, the atoms of the separate fingers are closer than the atoms making up each finger, while I like the concept they were going for, they have accidentally made the fingers literally 'closer than' touching.

That's just fine, man

Feynman's Magnets and Why Questions video gets into whole "there is no touching" near the end. Right up there with Sagan's "Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing." existentialism.
