The pyramids shall be the end of all things, when they collapse in upon themselves!

Stop expanding the quote pyramid I made as a joke. It was not supposed to get E X P A N D E D .

Allow dwarves to see into our world so they can appreciate just how bad their world is.

Dwarves should be able to have/develop food allergies/sensitivities. It takes a masterwork-level success by a diagnostician to figure out why they're sick all of the time.

After a long enough period of time, the dwarves will give up trying to figure out what is wrong. They will either lie down on the ground and wait for death to take them, or just accept "I guess I'm just going to always have the runs."

The player, understanding more about medicine than the dwarves, will be able to pseudo-id the illnesses as belonging to the "food illness" category by the messages about the dwarf being sad or terrified recently by their body not functioning correctly.

This will have to wait for the food contamination arc to function properly, but will provide code useful to the parasites arc.

Dwarves will stress-eat in an attempt to regulate their emotions.  On the one hand, it's another way for them to self-manage negative thoughts and avoid full-on tantrums.  On the other, if Urist McEntomophobe keeps chowing through half the larder every time they see a cockroach, you may soon have bugger bigger problems.

[PlumpHelmetMan]

A minority of dwarves will instead cope with their emotional baggage through severe alcoholism (I'll leave your imagination to the specifics of alcoholism severe enough that even dwarves think it's a problem).

Add a new material: shityourpantsium. It does exactly what you think.

This is actually such a nice way to fix the stress issue.

Remodeling:
Dwarves will upgrade their furniture for anything better in nearby stockpiles. Dwarves slowly carry golden dressers back to their rooms and dump their slate dresser in the hall. Dwarves will be quite peeved if you take their artifact coffer away, or reinstall their old wooden bed.
