Fishing.

Eradication of ocean fish.

And the general dismantle of the ecosystem

I use them to fill the ranks of my under geared not OP military casualties.

[NJW2000]

Random and stupid industries I have no interest in.

Dying. Beekeeping. Waxcraft. Totem-making. Stonecrafting, even. Lye making?

Massive factories?

[escondida]

I assign everyone who couldn't be bothered to learn a skilled labor all the unskilled labor. Then, when I need some plants brewed or plants processed or cheese made, I'm never short of labor. If my fort lacks a skilled labor and is reasonably populous, I choose a young peasant to start learning the art of dyeing or weaving or bonecarving or whatever, and after a while they skill up enough that they become respected members of the fort. This way, aol the no-skill labors are well-covered, and there's only a brief period in any industry when its craftsdwarves are churning out sub-exceptional works (my dorfs value craftsdwarfship).

I might try setting up a wereass squad from them. Casualties will be high.

[Robsoie]

The dwarves that have useless jobs to me are usually having their labor changed depending if i am missing a worker on specific task or most of the time are my military recruits.
In a couple of years of training they can become good enough warriors.

[Calidovi]

Vampire fodder so I can find good suspects.

[JimboM12]

Extra dwarves with no important (i.e. Smithing) skills are crossbow recruits. We will achieve enough dakka.

[IRON_GAUNTLET]

Why, the draft of course!

[Authority2]

They go under the atom smasher, as sacrifices to appease the almighty FPS.

They are the front-line for the FBs

no, seriously, I had an FB which was a giant crocodile dinosaur with deadly spittle, and it was killed by a ton of laborers punching it.

You mean a troglodyte or an actual crocodile dinosaur?

The vast majority of mine become farmers. About 10% of the 'extra' dwarves become miners. Two or three become strand extractors. A few might become furnace operators. Assuming we have an infinite supply of fuel, and a decent supply of cloth bags and sand, some are bound to become glassmakers for life.

But the children

THE CHILDREN

DIE KINDER

Any child who grows up in my fort will become a SPARTAN. A legendary, un-FUN-able soldier! Battle-hardened in a room of reciprocating wooden spears!

[Galena]

Useless dwarves become fisherdwarfs or legendary wrestlers.
