Whenever you open dwarf fortress, it automatically sends an email to your boss telling them exactly when you opened it and what computer you are running it on.  A similar email is sent when you exit the program.

At the same time, the game will email an exhaustive record of your internet search history to your (former or current) legal guardian(s).

It's actually pretty terrifying to think about having all of your fat melt off into grease because you started sweating too much.

Uh, those mirrors that reflect light?  Like in Uncharted and Witcher 3?

Those would be pretty terrible.

It's possible to have stone smoothings so bad that they start spewing syndrome-causing/thralling goo. This occurs in all biomes.

Protective measures against syndrome-causing phenomena can be put in place, but some dwarves with a high [PRIDE] trait will refuse them and put the entire fort at risk as a result. Get ready for everyone to become zombies because of that one jerk who said being forced to stay underground during evil weather was a violation of his freedoms as a dwarf.

Having a dabbling engraver carving images of low quality on bedroom walls can throw dwarves that live there into a blind rage and also lower the rooms value.

My dwarves seem to already have this behavior. Not sure if it’s pride or stupidity, but perhaps that is a distinction without a difference.

Anytime stone gets smoothed or engraved, the job produces stone dust. Not some weak syndrome dust, full-on cave-in dust.

The probability increases, every time engraving is done, that a wall:
a) Is liquid permeable,
b) Is snake permeable,
c) Has a cummulative chance of not longer being counted as a valid support for cave-in-prevention calculations.

Once explosions get implemented, I'd like to see beached creatures occasionally explode.

This should also have a chance to happen to all corpses, especially when a dwarf is hauling it, this also causes the dwarf's stress to rise dramatically when it happens.

A diablo-style corpse explosion spell would be fun.

When public law will be fleshed out, we could see some persons and entities important enough to become sovereign states themselves such as major temples, families, guilds and monasteries.

It is terrifying.

Zombies of bloated corpses can cause explosions when stabbed or cut in the lower body/guts.

Bards can play notes that cause your dwarves' rear ends to explode.
