I haven't gotten into Dwarf Fortress either, but I do enjoy the Dwarf Fortress bugs twitter from time to time: https://twitter.com/DwarfFortBugs

Same. The whole saga of cats getting sick from licking their feet which have alcohol from the tavern floors thing is wild.

Carp being ridiculously strong for a long time, because they swim all day and that trains strength.

The way of defending a fortress that led invaders through a corridor with a lava tube underneath, which made the corridor so hot that the fat in the bodies of the invaders would melt, something the AI didn't know about.

The Boatmurdered epic is also great fun, for those that find DF interesting but don't necessarily want to actually play. https://lparchive.org/Dwarf-Fortress-Boatmurdered/Introducti... looks right from the first page.

It's _very_ funny in parts, and gives a great sense of the insanity that game can contain.
