It doesnt matter; the dwarves may not realize it, but they have no control over their lives. All is overseen.
Surprisingly profound!

Why is zinc even in the game? Sphalerite is so much more useful raw.
To help Dwarven skin heal from sunburn.

Are dwarves even aware of computers or are these things beyond their comprehension, despite building them in several megaprojects?

Brass is fairly valuable, plus it makes nice instruments.

Why does a cave spider bite cause permanent dizziness?

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.

Neurological damage to the balance centers of the Dwarven ear loops.

I thought brass was made with copper and tin?

That's bronze, it's used to make weapons...

They understand the concept, but as far as they can tell computers don't correlate to booze so they ignore them...

So how do weapons and armor correlate to booze?

You can raid caravans carrying booze using them!

Why can't everything be booze?

You can't drink magma. Well, you technically can, but eh.

Why are dwarves never drunk ? Is it the overgrown liver ?

It's the metabolism. Humans metabolise alcohol to drunkness causing compunds, while dwarves metabolise alcohol to sugars, sort of like a reverse fermentation, for energy.

Why don't the caverns cave in?

Not in a satisfying way.

Why haven't dwarves found a way to fully automate booze production?

So in case of a sudden siege they have a shorter distance to drag their bleeding and broken bodies to medical inattention.

Why have I been feeling so unenthusiastic about DF lately?

Desire to play Dwarf Fortress waxes and wanes. It'll probably come back.

Oh god I hope so, behold the legends of Rope Reed Fiber Sockman, Square-cut Turquoise Girl, and an inexplicably popular Door as they try to save Urist McHateslizards from a bunch of lizards surrounding him.

What is wrong with me?
