Because the dwarven bulletin boards don't support poll generation.

If shaving the beard of a male dorf is emasculating, what is it called when you shave the beard of a female dorf?

Emasculating.  Don't you try and push your gender-normative lingo here, man.  Dwarfs be dwarfs.

Usage of ", man" makes you sound like a hippy and they smoke weed.

Why are dwarves really impressed with big rooms full of chairs, tables and pictures made by decent but not amazing stoneworkers?

Giant badgers are cruel saddistic balls of fur and hate. Did anyone know they could paint a wall with a single dwarven baby?.... You know what, I made the Giant badgers sound like sane DF players.

Decent for dwarf is awesome for human.  The thing about dwarves is, they're constantly impressed by every cool craft they see.  Sort of like art admirers in a city full of amateur painters from a region known for its painters.

Gee, that really elucidated a lot.

How did Dwarf Fortress come from "2d and heavily structured" to "stuff happens randomly, you do whatever the hell you want" and yet it still is not only good, but amazing?

A fey mood.

When a former expedition leader passes a master-work statues of themself being removed from their post all over the fortress, does the good thought from the quality, overcome the negative thought from being reminded about being removed from their post?

Is there any way to remove mud outdoors?
Yea, use dirt roads to clear off the mud.

Yes, as long as they aren't surrounded by lizards and looking terrified while being removed from their post in the statue.

Why are statues of other dorfs surrounded by things that terrify them such a popular subject?

Dwarves all secretly want to be H.P.Lovecraft.

How come you can push carts along drawbridges?

Also, if you ever figure out why poets/bards/dancers just randomly start butchering people/getting butchered, please don't fix it, I love never knowing when a dance party will turn into a slaughter.

Dwarves can't help but build a bridge with minecart tracks built in. Its why it takes them so damn long to build one. The bridge itself also retracts into the surroundings via those same tracks.

Why do dwarves get upset about the same dead guy repeatedly?

They're remembering how long it took to get the blood out of their socks.

Why can dwarves hate toads?

They don't want to end up in dwarven infinite-hydra-bacon farms.

They're so good at hammering they can do hammer moves WITHOUT THE HAMMER.

Why are pre-kill one-liners not in the game yet?

Putting a foe in a position where you can deliver a coup de grâce and deliver it before killing them isn't yet an option.

Why do dorfs prefer to punch endlessly at the head of an unconscious foe rather than applying a chokehold and strangling them?

Because it is much dwarfier to crush the head of a foe into a lump of gore by repeatedly punching it than it is to choke them.

Why do the mountainhomes never send an army to deal with sieging goblins and rampaging megabeasts?
