The mass or masslessness of truth would be another good discussion about Standrd Model physics.

Is this a model in which force = mass?

I believe the Standard Model considers Truth to have zero rest mass, but possessing momentum due to energy-mass equivalence. Thus it might be more accurate to refer to it as Momentous Truth.

In two days in this thread, I learned how to make tzatziki, the difference between Greek yogurt in the US vs Europe, and been treated to an + physics joke. Well done.

Our small languages troll seems to be “grazing” closer to more overt trolling with:

**Why isn’t Turkish the official language of the EU like Greek is?**

(Because the answer is so damn obvious, and because it seems calculated to provoke a discussion of ethnic tensions between Greece and Turkey)

Maybe he’s a Turkish hair transplant surgeon, upset that he can’t get more business from the EU.

Now he’s blathering about Turkish spelling and loanwords in that lingo.

**Wikipedia states that the Turkish language only uses I in loanwords. Is this true?**

I still don’t see any trolling. Just hyperfixation on a particular topic. They found a place where people would actually discuss the things that are on their mind. Nothing about how they talk seems to be about upsetting people.

Now, I do get finding it a bit annoying. I think it would feel more normal around here if at least some of them were combined into a single thread. Or if the questions came less frequently.

But it seems more like mismatched expectations than trolling to me. I don’t see the trolling angle.

The possible trolling angle is feeling delighted at having found a way to annoy the community without breaking any rules. I could see a persistent sock enjoying that loophole. Kind of a reach, and pathetic if true, but plausible.

Or an _ **awesome** _ Thanksgiving. Pan drippings make for an excellent gravy!

I’m guessing **Beck** had this in mind:

Ah yes, maybe so. I used to get a frozen turkey every T-Day from a former employer that was extra, since my MIL hosted TD with her own bird. So I’d save my turkey and smoke it in the warmer months.

The future Mrs. Solost and I actually put a turkey fryer on our wedding registry, but nobody got it for us, which in retrospect I think was probably a very good thing.

Anything’s possible, but I still get a hyper-fixated kid vibe from him. Possibly on the spectrum. If he floods the forums I hope the mods limit the amount of language threads he can start.
