Because curiosity kills the cat, and everything must die in this game.

Why isn't there a great deal of good DF fan music?
Because it only has one track, so there's almost nothing to base your fan music off of and call it "DF music".

Why do goblins have [NO_EAT] and [NO_SLEEP] if eating and sleeping for anything but dorfs (not counting grazers) isn't implemented?

Goblins are slated to be the star race of Slaves to Armok: God of Blood Chapter III: Goblin Horde. All survival needs are suspended in preference for carnage.

How do craftsdwarves seem to know the entire history of their race?

But you never see a movie where a terrible coal plant accident causes a horrible devastation, do you? Nope, everyone seems to think that nuclear plants get their energy by smacking live atomic warheads all day or something.

What else are they going to be fixated on in the long, long hours spent making +gabbro mugs+ in some underground hovel? They put their entire minds to memorizing the entire world's history, or else they'd go more insane than usual.

If spiked balls are worth a lot, and golden salve is worth a lot, what happens when you slather a spiked ball in golden salve and sell it to some unwary humans?

You would get something worth less than ☼cat tallow roasts☼.

Why; from a non-technical standpoint, is cooked meals worth so much?

Quote from: a Swedish electronics teacher
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!

Because dwarf beard hair is a very rare item and sometimes it flakes off a cook dwarf when they are preparing a meal and into the food.

Why can a dragon burn down a cage from the outside but not the inside?

Because when a Dragon is caged, a small, invisible dart of dwarf beard hair locks up a dragons flame producing organs.
The dwarfbeardhairdart teleports from the dragons throat to the dwarves beard whenever said dwarf attempts to move the cage.

Where do dwarves go when they die, besides magma and a stone slab or a box in the ground?

How are dwarves perfectly able to dig through granite and other hard rocks with mere copper picks?

Going backwards in reversed time (just like everybody else).

The same way they can make chairs out of chalk.

Why don't dwarven tools ever rust (At least in the current release)?

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.

Alcohol rusts?

Anyway, if glumprongs are purple, how do they photosynthesize?

How do animals in DF inbreed with no consequences?
Logged
Every dwarf, every dwarven man, women, and child, that comes to our forts will die there; it's truly sad when you think about it. And we ask our selves, why? Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

They don't inbreed, they asexually bud. This process can only be brought on by the sight of an opposite-gendered member of the same species.

Like making beer normally. It's easy with a beard.

Why do vampires happily divulge that they have a looong history of past entities, including ones that were wiped out 200+ years ago?

ExXxtreme bragging rights.

How come, when you deconstruct something, dozens of items from nearby stockpiles teleport to the place where the dorf stood whilst doing said deconstructing?

So! Failed to make peace, war looms, kill the infidels... what are our plans for the weekend?
The Giant Moles in the caverns of my current fort breed like crazy, even while regularly being decimated by other beasts entering them...

The items all yearn to meet their lost families located in the workshop's materials and try their hardest to get there.

Why are dwarves always smiling?
