Seems kind of silly to have disease without feces and related materials considering the impact of proper waste management on a society

Building material?

Perhaps if a dwarf is scared at some point, they could shit bricks?

Toady himself said that he will never add excrement to the game.  So putting it in as a suggestion is fairly moot.
e said he wouldn't add it unless he could think of a way to make it fun. There is a difference between the two.

It'd give a great use for bottomless pits and chasms.

Until the critters down there got tired of putting up with your shit and started counterattacking, 2D-style.

Actually it'd make a good trigger for such events, same with dumping, just like ol' 2D DF.

Heh. This reminds me of Portal Prelude.

The companion toilet does not speak. However, it will take your crap.

I'm all for a Magma Toilet (t). I mean, why flush the dung when you can KILL IT WITH FIRE

What does that even mean? Feces is an important natural resource with tons of legit fun uses! Like drowning people in it! And drowning animals in it! Making a shitfall in the dining room with soothing mist! Soiling yourself when you die! Or meet a particularly large groundhog! You could make other people eat it in adventure mode! You could even poison your weapons with it

Think of the possibilities! A rhesus macaque adventurer could kill all his enemies by flinging is own poop. How can you say that's not fun!?

Considering that our dwarves tend to be very dumb occasionally, I am not sure that it's a good idea to let them build magma toilets... ;D

 Why do you think fortresses have so many 'stone' objects?

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Dorf1: SWIRLY! SWIRLY! SWIRLY!
Dorf2: YEAH! Hahahahahaha!
Dorf3: OH ARMOK NO! PLEASE! NO!
Dorf1 drops Dorf3 into the bowl... The smoke and kicking stop soon...

Dorf3 has been struck down by a mega-swirly.

Hammerer1:Seriously?
Hammerer1 cancels Beat down dorfs: Too busy laughing.

You see, booze is a parasite. It lives off dwarves and compels them to dig into the ground so as to create massive defences to protect it's self. It really shouldn't be called dwarf fortress, Booze fortress would make much more sense.
