A -160 penalty seems a bit steep to recover from, all at once. If they also had their favorite drink, their favorite food afterward, a 'personal palace' with their favorite junk, then maybe. Seems like a ton of work when you can just pit kittens over the dining room, though.

Does the kitten-pitting even work? What thought do they get from it?

[WealthyRadish]

Witnessing death.

[Sabreur]

Are we sure that tragedies are what cause the "doesn't care" attribute?  I thought there was some research that showed they could get it just through combat without getting any worse negative thought than the occasional minor injury.  That's the whole point behind the puppy waterfall - it lets them witness death over and over again without exposing them to anything tragic enough to make them go insane.

[WealthyRadish]

Minor injuries and pretty much anything involving death are tragedies.

Recent research into the effect of dropping things (*ahem* Cats, dwarves) onto other things (cats,dwarves) has discovered that you can hurt a large animal (dwarves), by dropping something far smaller on them (kittens), from a sufficient height. Can this be utilized in conjunction with the puppyfall to make more dwarves more unhappy faster?

I just want to say that I am exceedingly glad none of us are heads of actual nation-states.

Why's that?  Being willing to do what needs to be done beats the hell out of pandering to the lowest common denominator, playing party politics and never accomplishing anything, right?  It's just that what needs to be done in virtual fortress management is (usually) very different from what would need to be done in, say, a fully real economic crisis.

Out of sheer spite I will now go into politics. However, I will keep my playing of this game quiet, as for some reason, killing kittens to prevent the death of a fort by far more violent means, is frowned upon by some closed-minded if eligible voters.

It'll certainly get your coffinmakers trained up, let's put it that way.
