What? Let every sentient race have guillotines, imagine demons having them made of bone

[PlumpHelmetMan]

Capital punishment just always struck me as a human (and probably goblin as well) thing. Dwarves and elves having capital punishment just somehow seems OOC to their usual depictions, but I guess it's not like DF sticks to those to the letter either.

DF dwarves have capital punishment for murder of a fellow civ member, treason, oath breaking, and slavery.

Yes guillotines for everyone, there will be so many severed heads rolling around it'll be beautiful!

Dorfs also deliver punishment via hammering, so maybe their guillotine would be...a giant hammer-head?  Sounds...messy.  Like a Gallagher show.

I need this to be a thing.

Instead of simply capital punishment, each crime should specify a particular body part to hit with a particular weapon type a particular number of times (with the punishment ending if the body part is severed or destroyed). This could be combined with traps to create a guillotine, or alternative mechanism.

Beheading, for instance, would be EXECUTION:HEAD:AXE:1 (or HAMMER:100 for dwarves)

But you can also make a crime that demands lashes (UPPER_BODY:WHIP:10) or removing the hand (GRASP:SWORD:1).

Or (LOWER_BODY:STANCE_STRIKE:10).

Umm dude... this thread is meant for terrible suggestions, not extremely good ones.
_{^{shh.. also whatever happened to Chromatic Spirits?}}

Since im here i might as well contribute too... umm...
Dyslexia: In order to be more PC and inclusive, a sizeable portion of dwarves all sentient beings have dyslexia, if one of them happens to hold a position, all text related to their function (such as the health overview screen for chief medical dwarves) will have random letters swapped for others (this also includes hotkeys). The swapped letters will change every time you enter the screen.
If your adventurer is dyslexic, the entire interface will suffer from this effect.
There is no way to mod this out or alter the chance of dyslexia as it would undermine the reason why this was implemented.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As much as i hate thinking about it, i could actually see someone suggesting this for real.

Developmental disorders in intelligent creatures don't sound like a dreadful idea (would lead to some interesting and relatable procgen characters IMO), though letting it screw with the interface probably would be.

Implement diseases and unleash the  P O L I O.

Fixed it for you.

[LordBaal]

Introduce color blindness, but since it was first diagnosed in the late XVIII century there's NO a single description or clue which dwarf have it, you can simply guess it after the whole fortress blew up because some dwarf mixed the wrong chemicals.

[TheBeardyMan]

When your tavern has only recently been set up, and you haven't made any musical instruments yet, it's not unusual to see a dwarf with the current job "simulate [musical instrument]".

This calls for a new skill: Beatboxing.

[delphonso]

4 new skills:
DJing,
Rapping,
Graffiti art,
Breakdancing.

[King Zultan]

If going to the bathroom ever gets added it needs an associated bowl movement skill.
