Facepalms themselves must be weaponized!

Tactical facepalm: when the fail is so hard you have to call in the army.

Funny, because the army is usually the main cause of fails in this game, next to trap avoid critters and lucky thieves.

The student makes a stupid comment, but the comment is deflected by the teachers studied indifference!
The teacher stabs you in the upper body with her snide comment, fracturing your pride through your thick skin!
The student bores the teacher with his boring prepared monologue, smashing the teacher hope through her low expectations !
The teacher has become enraged!
The teacher facepalms, jamming the skull through the brain!
The teacher has been knocked unconsious!
The Teacher has been struck down.
Now if only we could distill and purify annoyance...

In my latest 34.11 fort, I decided to set up a Dwarven Atom Smasher to get rid of a ton of excess stone (having 150 undead outside because of a Necromancer doesn't do good things to your FPS, especially on an older computer). However, I couldn't build a bridge over my quantum stockpile because the items were in the way, so I came up with a 'cunning' plan: build the bridge below, then channel a hole in the square with the thousands of stones. Somehow, that part worked without killing anyone (it was right next to the main junction of the bedrooms). The Fun happened when I activated the lever: all of the stones got flung back up the hole, crippling three dwarves, and one of my legendary miners got turned into a smear on the ceiling. Oops.

With some refinement, that sounds like an automated catapult shotgun trap waiting to happen.

Aaand there's the weaponization. Shouldn't we just start naming every thread, "How do I weaponize..." at this point? Because eventually all derails lead to the Weaponization Station.

Either weaponization or the discussion on how to turn children into vampire warriors.

Built a bridge across the rim of a volcano, told my masons to build a wall along the side of the bridge.

I am glad I'm not the only one to suffer this. Though for me it was alligators.

Because eventually all derails lead to the Weaponization Station.

The Bay12 equivalent to Godwin's Law: As the thread goes on, the probability of weaponisation of the thread topic approaches one.

There's safe. Then there's unsafe. And then there's the average dwarf fort, which remains unrated because the OSHA inspector flatly refused to go anywhere within a dozen miles of the place.

The Only threads without weaponization are ones that already are a discussion of weaponization, and even THAT is not safe, for example see childcare thread, now flaming thrall weaponization.

See above how I weaponized the quote pyramid?
