Q: Will dwarven civilization ever find a way to domesticate and train Giant War Sponges?

If dwarves ever have a need to weaponize bathing, they will.

Q: Why do ghosts either one-shot dwarves or just hang around being annoying?

Because dwarven ghosts are still dwarven at heart, and thus either homicidally insane or F^&(*#) ECSTATIC, which manifests by making them extremely difficult to live with.

Why do elves keep coming back even though every caravan they send is slaughtered?

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

They dont care. If they die you dump their remains out there, where they rot and eventually become absorbed by the plants, so they become trees.

Why so many demons become leaders of human civilizations by impersonating gods? are the humans stupid or what?

Demons are the only ones who understand the entire Byzantine structure of human law; hence they tend to be the law-givers.

Now, I'll try this one again:


Why don't dwarves recognize that an animal assigned to a chain doesn't need to be pastured anymore?

Not very satisfactory. That could be used as answer for every "why do dwarfs..." question, including your own.

Because you're watching, motivating them to show off and impress you with their swimming skills (which they keep forgetting they don't have). It's all your fault!

With the lack of basic hygiene, how come dwarven settlements are never ravaged by cholera, diarrhea, food poisoning etc.?

Because dwarves drink 180 proof rum - no hostile bacteria can survive the sheer level of astringents in the average dwarf's bloodstream!  This is also why they don't get infected until after they're in the hospital; water doesn't provide the level of immuno-protectivity they usually enjoy.

Why don't dwarves ever make their children clean their rooms up?

Why do dwarfs run DOWN a staircase at the end of my to-be cistern, instead of up the staircase to escape the rapidly approaching water?

What's wrong with using magma? That's almost always the easiest method.
I have issues channeling it properly to do that method. I end up flooding the fortress with magma.

Q: Why do dwarves not advance technologically, using the same techs for thousands of years?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
This here Atom Smasher can still hold off goblin sieges to this very day, and a cave-in trap is all you need for the big beasts.
Now excuse me while I try to cross this river at the waterfalls edge.
Urist McStuborn has died after colliding with an obstacle.

How many goblins does it take to screw in a light bulb?

This is a side-effect of dwarven animal training (hit animal with hammer until it forgets that it hates you, then lovingly cuddle it).

I'm not your average Bay12er. I care about my drunken midgets.

Can't answer that, goblins aren't dwarves.

To the older 2D versions of the DF.

Because this isnt Skyrim.

How can a goblin be full of bolt holes and still not bleed to death?
