Yeah, but it would get frustrating pretty quickly, especially for folks playing for the first time.
Oh yeah, maybe the option could be toggled at world gen?

I'm imagining this as a possible symptom of a forgotten beast attack, maybe combined with the effect of duplicating raws. "The forgotten beast Ixilub the Wet Horror of Boredom has come!...Beware his reality-warping spittle!"
Yes, this works too

But the game randomly makes baby noises at you if you disable it, booze is replaced with milk bottles, and the game starts doing stuff for you if it deems you aren't playing well enough.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Dwarfopogenic climate change: if you burn too much coal and cut down too many trees, all Glacier biomes become temperate, temperate biomes become deserts, and sea levels gradually rise and swallow up coastal regions.

The worst part of this is it means the elves kinda have a point.

At random times, when a dwarf enters a bedroom that belongs to them, Chris Hansen walks in and says "I'm Chris Hansen from Idubook NBC, and we're doing a story on dwarves who meet underage elves online for sex. So if there's anything else you'd like to tell us, we'd love to hear it, otherwise you are free to walk out that arcadia wood door."

In the end hippies were right, so do more drugs and join Club 27.

Who could've foreseen this happening in a world where 12-year-olds are considered adults?

Rental fortresses: you have to select your fort from a variety of pre-made designs in various environments, each with a price based on size, location, and amenities.  You have to bring in enough money to cover payments, which increase with every migrant wave; if you can't make payments, you get evicted out into the wilds or have to move back to the mountainhomes.  You also aren't allowed to dig out more rooms, or smooth/engrave things to your liking.

I could actually see some rulers renting depopulated parts of their holdings to migrants.

ability to get squads to target certain key skills when they're training.

for instance have a ballista team drill specifically for "rate of fire" or "accuracy", maybe with some form of "boss we're encountering XYZ-bottleneck" that prevents them from increasing in rank

During some sieges, the enemy will not even attack normally. They just throw urine balloons and "concentrated fart-like grenades" in your fart and scurry away giggling like schoolgirls. The fart grenades generate way worse thoughts than miasma.

You can, but that's a massive fine if the landlord finds out, and you have to fix it. Also, they "already took care of the forgotten beast in the kitchen problem. This one must be something you brought in yourself, and you have to fix it or we'll charge you for any damage it does."

The enemy will stand outside crossbow range and hurl insults and slurs at your dwarves, generating stress until one of your dorfs snaps and goes berserk.  Other tactics include dumping barrels of booze into the dirt, pushing around empty wheelbarrows, and setting fire to massive piles of socks.

The Sandman from 'Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!' appears at random times and challenges random dwarves for no reason. If a dwarf's "fighting" skill is not at "Talented" or higher, one punch kills them.

may as well implement One Punch Man while you're at it.

Dawnthunder: It menaces with spikes of tetanus
After the fire had burned down all of the wooden next boxes on the surface, Mottled Petrel was reluctant to replace them with more wooden nest boxes. Instead, he placed the remaining store of wooden nest boxes in the dormitory for any aspiring koopa mothers.

The nest boxes were immediately overrun by helmet snakes.

and setting fire to massive piles of socks.

That actually sounds good to me. The enemy should bring piles of socks and other crap that dwarves want to claim, so they run outside. If you don't get FPS death from all dwarves running outside, they get a tantrum spiral from being in the sun and/or rain.
