[Sus]

A lowering drawbridge compresses everything under it to zero volume. At that point, any matter simply vanishes in a puff of quantum paradox.

How come Urist McDarkman was disgusted by a miasma, yet unfazed by the fact that said miasma came from his own rotten face?

[crazysheep]

Miasma, unlike blood, is generic, meaning Urist will not know where it came from. This means he will always be disgusted by it, no matter the source.

Why does water from an FB not coalesce into a puddle?

[Komra]

The "water' is actually a form of gel, formulated to keep its shape for use as a body. If exposed to high heat, it would melt. Of course, without a heating method other than MAGMAAAAA, such a possibility is academic.

Why is the only requirement of flight the possession of any wings?

[pisskop]

Weight and aerodynamics are all nonpoints, like waste product and the size.

Why are you the first dwarf trying to make a fortress so far from the mountianhomes?  Where did you even find out about such a spot?

[Scow2]

Scouting expeditions, lost migrants, and adventurers that came before. You're just the ones foolish/brave enough to think that it's possible to have a fortress thrive so far from the mountainhomes.

Does one simply walk into a Terrifying biome?

[Snateraar]

Unless it's called Mordor, yes.

Why the hell do I never find an embark with magma and flux and metal ores without either piranhas, alligators or giant sponges?

[Graknorke]

Why the hell do I never find an embark with magma and flux and metal ores without either piranhas, alligators or giant sponges?

There has to be a reason that they're unclaimed.

Where does rain go when it hits the ground outside of a murky pool?

[pisskop]

After cleansing you of your donation to the Blood God, percipitation dissapears into the Earth and into the caverns to drown some poor idiot dorf.

Why can only murky pool tiles collect rainwatwer?  Why can't I build rainwater collectors?

[Mr S]

Because then you'd be asking your dwarves to drink from "Cistern of water laced with Lodem McMason's sweat".  And that's probably worse than the murky pools.

Why will dwarves not directly irrigate/muddy a floor, but will gladly throw water down from overhead?

[Sus]

They don't want to get mud all over their ☼giant cave spider silk sandal☼s. Besides, the only Dwarfy way to muddy floors involves a screw pump or ten...

Why can't wounded dorfs drink booze?

[Blizzlord]

Because wounding causes the dwarven liver to work suboptimality, which is fatal when you are a creature which guzzles the stuff all day long.

Why do dwarves even need booze in the first place?

[pisskop]

They cannot process normal sugar correctly without it.  They instead convert the good stuff into a form of enzymatic insulin that allow them to speed up their metabolism.  Without it they simply feel hung over.

Why can't vampires drink booze?

[My Name is Immaterial]

Because dwarf blood is like magma booze, so booze is a step down.

Why do non-swimmers dropped in 3 tile deep water suffer less injuries then grandmaster swimmers?

[DiezIrae]

Because their lack of confidence lets them release sonic waves with their screams that makes it softer to land inside.

Why do dogs gather at a high tower?

[GoombaGeek]

I gave that female dog a tower, female dogs love towers

Why do goblin invaders leave no vengeful ghosts (and not just from a game balance POV)?
