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?

[arbarbonif]

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

Why did I sound like I was smoking weed in my head when I wrote that?

[Minnakht]

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?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

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?

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?

[Max™]

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?

[Insert_Gnome_Here]

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

How come you can push carts along drawbridges?

[Eric Blank]

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?

[gestahl]

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

Why can dwarves hate toads?

[crazyabe]

Because toady takes so long to fix somethings, and they (Our current dwarfs) are not in the new version


Why cant hydras regrow there heads?

[Nikita]

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

Why does a superlegendary hammerlord go into every battle bare-fisted?

[Arcvasti]

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?

[Max™]

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?

[GiantCaveMushroom]

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?

[DAPARROT]

because they are too drunk and its your problem

why do dwarves not care about anything?
