In Sweden, digital electronics is considered unteachable. That is why you are not being taught about it.
Most attempts of sesquipedalian loquaciousness on the internet will most likely end up in egregious delusions of eloquence. Finagle's law commands it!

They're not stupid, they just have warped common sense, and high honor.
Digging out a pillar that is holding up an entire mountain doesn't sound like a bad idea if your boss tells you to do it.

Why are elves so evil? They're the only in game race with gender restricted positions.

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Armok wants you to know that no matter how dwarfy Urist is, !Fun! can still be had.

It's a giant bird.
It should probably be pretty strong.

Why don't Mountain Gnomes talk? According to the Raws/Wiki they're intelligent on par with other races.

Because there's no socks in there.

If dwarves make tools out of their beards, how can female dwarves forge items?
Logged
It's treated as completely normal because this is Dwarf Fortress.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with a wall of flames, only to later realize that you're surrounded by a wall of flames.
There's nothing that can't be solved by hurling fifteen roc birds at it.

That dwarven built chalk pillar was made by a dwarf, so it is as stubborn as one!
