How do some things make sense in ACNH?

[Gem of Paradise]

Got some questions that can’t be answered. Something seem strange with villagers? Wonder what possible explanations could explain how this little animal world works?

Ask your questions that may or may not be explainable here without worry. Come up with theories or simply ask a question just to share your thoughts with other players.


Here’s a some odd thoughts of mine, where do all these fossils and gyriods come from? Ignoring game mechanics and thinking of it as if it were its own world, how would so many things surface so often? There must have been a ton of prehistoric things lol. And are gyriods made or are they like living things that you unearth? But then how do broken gyriods work, are they more of a golem than a creature if they are living, or are they just an item?

Share your questions and wonders too! I would love to see what others wonder about! Remember to just have fun with it!

how come i can’t put flowers into storage, but i can shove literal living creatures (fish, bugs, deep-sea creatures) in there?

How can I pick up and move a tree with my shovel but not rocks ? Wouldn’t it work the same way. Move Rocks and trees with shovels . Cut them down or break them with the axe?

Why do some birds get to live as anthropomorphic beings who wear sweaters and bake cookies, while others are doomed to live in cages or spend their lives on the Bulletin Board?

What do Marina, Zucker, Octavian, and Cephalobot think of the octopus in my museum? Is he their cousin? Why can I catch a frog while fishing, while Jambette evades capture???

What appropriately-portioned creature did this skeleton come from??????????

… because it certainly didn’t come from our nub-fisted Island Reps…

Who is orchestrating the balloon presents? Where do they come from??

Taxidermy.

They're Sisyphean rocks.

Did you try asking Maya Angelou?

Jambette, much like Miley Cyrus, can't be tamed.

How is Ribbot able to walk around in the rain without an umbrella?

If you have, say Lucky, living at your island then you visit someone else’s island and Lucky lives there too…?

 

[Nunnafinga]

I have two villagers(Puck and Scoot) that always wear helmets but why can Puck take off his helmet and wear other headwear normally but Scoot can't?Is that just a tattoo of a helmet that was drawn on Scoot's head?

How are my villagers able to cook with just a common sink?

I've mentioned this before(many times before) but why do only a handful of villagers wear pants?

Why can we plant a tree without a shovel, but if there is a hole it just cannot be done?

They're like Pokemon. Each one is actually a specific species and they go by their species name.

Why does Rocket put all of her clothes over her main clothes? If they were her skin she would be naked when she is only wearing those but if they aren't her skin, why does she keep them on when she wears other clothes?

As you can see, she also put the glasses over her glasses. I am genuinely curious about why she has all of her accesories and clothes attached to her. It's like Tinasheng's head accesory, which can't be taken off, but his doesn't look as weird with things on.

I'd like to know where the transporters are. How else can you talk to a villager on the plaza one minute, then find they got to the Roost well before you went directly from there into the joint? (Beam them up, Tom?)

The same way the Road Runner can out-run Wile E. Coyote in a cartoon while, in real life, a coyote can out-run a road runner---the imaginations of the game programmers and operators is infinite!

Ermmm . . . .most villagers are exhibitionists at heart?

 

[Saah]

Who puts furniture on tree branches, and how come furniture bigger than the trees can just stay in a branch until someone shakes the trees?

How do wasps make five nests a day, and where is that wasp infestation originating from?

Why are rocks filled with money? Who puts it there? Every single day???

Is there no government facility to control sea pollution? How come everyone throws bottles at the sea all the time and nobody does anything like say "hey maybe try not doing that"?

Who pays for the Dodo Airlines' plane fuel? Because I know I don't...

And this is the biggest one...

How does Tom Nook know as soon as I water my plants, catch my fish, etc? Is he always watching me? Is he... watching me right now?

Lol! I honestly think Tom Nook has a room just filled with computer monitors and watches our every move!

Why is the currency called "bells" if they aren't bells and the coins have a star on them ? Is it because of the jingling sound they make ?

Rustoleum.

Where is the power generator for electricity on the island? For that matter, how does it connect with any light I plunk down on the ground?

How Claude can walk into this like it was nothing.
Been meaning to post this back in December, but forgot.

How come I can plant bells and they grow into a tree that has bell bags in it. I planted coins not seed. Better yet who buries 1000 bells every day and why is the hole glowing is the island radio active?
