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.

This should be even more likely to happen if the deceased was a noble.

Wait...where does it say in the article that he exploded?

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

The corpse was too large for the space, and when attendants forced the body into the tomb it burst, spreading a disgusting odour throughout the church.

Exploding bodies of plump helmet men release spores that slowly create new plump helmet men in the area.

All ardent believers temporarily gain the powers of the sphere that the deity is associated with
Example: Believers of gods of lust will increase their pick-up line game, believers of gods of caverns can summon forgotten beasts and believers of trickery become Legendary+5 Liars

Is it just me or is this actually a solid suggestion?

To help with funding, add background bitcoin-mining software to the game, that runs all the time.

However, the bitcoin miner will still be embedded in the main thread and thus Dwarf Fortress will remain single-threaded and use only one CPU core.

You know what else will aid in funding, a data miner that gathers all personal info on your computer and sells it to the highest bidder.

The second highest bidder. (That could actually earn you more, depending upon how those interested try to game the system.)

Quest-giving nobles give quests by emitting frequency-modulated radio signals.  Receiving quests, therefore, requires that the adventurer first acquire an fm radio (which don’t exist in the game) or make one themselves (which the game provides no way for the adventurer to do).

Bogeymen make radio static instead of cackling.

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.

Aside notes, would radio be able to be modded in?

Only AM radio.

Amplitude modulated would at least be vaguely feasible (don't you need galena for a crystal radio?). Not sure about the speaker; you'd have to mod that in too.

[IMMOBILE] radio "creature" that "vocalizes" 'Static'
Found alone and uqbitiously throughout the world.

Someone call squamous; might be good for The Long Night, maybe?

As an aside, beware of death from being pushed too hard in the head, by a radio.

(once in an unreleased mod, i made mimic. In world it was called "Boxwood Chest" and it had 360 degree vision, and was berzerk, and would 100% murder you the second you got close to it.
It was funny hearing a peasant say "out there Boxwood Chests roam freely" or something like that.)
