Doing a tempest

When you shout into the void of a channel in discord hoping someone will notice you and not ignore you like the rest of the discord server.
Most conversations with him will start with a couple of expletives and end with a question which he knows the answer to but will ask anyway. E.g.
Should I sleep?
Holy shit, Logkiller is doing a tempest in offtopic. Fucks sake.

Hottest possible temperature

At some point atoms will get so hot that they move at the speed of light and sense nothing can move faster than light it’s the hottest temperature

Siberian Roulette (Templari's version)

Contestans has to pass among themselves an ice cube mouth-to-mouth until the cube falls or get liquified. At that point the loser has to drink and/or buying drinks.
(Alas, the good pre-Covid era!)
It is popular among the city of Turin especially among the ranks of the the Templari, one of its University's Brotherhood.

Materials that shouldn't exist under normal conditions but somehow do—room-temperature superconductors, stable metallic hydrogen, transparent aluminum, and other substances that would revolutionize everything if they could actually be made. The phrase is scientific shorthand for "things we've theoretically predicted but cannot practically produce," or more cynically, "grant proposals that will be funded for another decade." Exotic materials at ambient temperature and pressure would enable lossless power transmission, hovering vehicles, unbreakable everything, and a permanent place in the Nobel Prize committee's heart. Their absence from your daily life is a reminder that nature doesn't give up its secrets easily, and that "theoretically possible" is not the same as "actually feasible."
Example: "The researcher announced a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductors—exotic materials at ambient temperature and pressure that would transform the world. The stock of every energy company fluctuated wildly. Then the results couldn't be replicated. Then the researcher retired. Then someone else tried and failed. The exotic materials remained exotic—beautiful in theory, absent in practice."

Escala de Temperley

Escala basada en la relevancia de Temperley, provincia de Buenos Aires, refiere a la metáfora de "Gran pez en pueblo chico". Es un insulto velado.
