Yep. They stay fresh until the next sunday when they spoil.
Don't TT back though, not even a second, or they'll spoil.
Hi! I don’t know if this has been asked before but I was wondering if it is possible for villagers to give you furniture from their house? I know Marshal likes to change his small furniture around but one time he gave me a coffee grinder and I’ve never seen him display it in his house since then. He now only displays his music player (along with the espresso maker, stovetop espresso maker, cream and suger and kettle). I know this was possible in New Leaf not sure about in New Horizons. I’ve only experienced this with Marshal so far so I’m not sure.

A real quick maybe obvious quesiton, but for the bridges and incline limits, is it 8 bridges and 8 includes, or 8 bridges and inclines?

You get 8 total bridges and 8 total inclines. So, for example, you could have 8 inclines and 3 bridges. 16 is the maximum number of structures you can have at once if you have 8 bridges and 8 inclines at the same time.

Does anyone have tips for getting the timing of having an empty plot open on the same day as a friend's villager being in boxes so you can invite that villager to your island without time-traveling? The thought of both parties' timing lining up gives me anxiety. 
For example. The villager moving out in your island should be in boxes today, while the villager on your friend's island should be on the process of thinking about moving, so by tomorrow, you would have an open plot and the other villager will be in boxes ready to be invited.Does anyone have tips for getting the timing of having an empty plot open on the same day as a friend's villager being in boxes so you can invite that villager to your island without time-traveling?

Even after the 15 days cool down, you still might not get a ping for a few more days. It's really hard to get the timing right without time travel or an amiibo.

It's funny now that even though I know this process, seeing it written out is just making me realize the extent to which the stars must be aligned to have the timing work out.
That's the response I expected. XD I suppose it helps that I'm not in a huge rush to get the specific villagers, so perhaps by then, they will have already visited the campsite or I will have found them on a Mystery Island.
Thank you both for your time!
I've got a question about ants. I've been trying to get one for the museum and read that you need rotten turnips. I got rotten turnips and have placed them right outside the shop so I pass by them frequently... but I have yet to see a SINGLE ant. I've seen multiple flies, caught one, and now have that donated. But not one ant. Am I doing something wrong, or just bad RNG luck?

I think Ants might need a bit of space around the Turnip to spawn. They don't spawn on the Turnip like Flies; they make a little ant line to the Turnips. In my experience, they're a very easy spawn, so maybe just try using one and making sure it has plenty of free space around it?
Hmm... I have some space around it, but I'll move it so there's more space. Thanks!

Best of luck!
And yeah. I found this picture of the Ants spawning (the picture is kind of close up, so just a warning if you aren't a fan of insects), and it looks like they need a good 4, 5, or so spaces to spawn. So if you don't have that much space around it, that's probably first thing to try.
Oh, wow, yah... I don't have anywhere near that amount of space
It's not gonna be easy to find on my island since it's so decorated and stuff, but I'll make it work!On the bright side- I don't think there's any chance I won't notice them when they spawn

They will spawn almost immediately all day long (I decorate with ants), so it’ll be quick to catch one and move it back or get rid of it.

Like the furniture stay in place when you leave? Yeah the furniture doesn't clear. You can come back to it.

Just wanted to say I finally got one! ...And then another right after. Turns out, not only do you need space, they need to be on GRASS. Which... seems obviously now
And, if the turnips are placed right, they should spawn quick. In case anyone else is having trouble!Also, they look hilarious when placed- I'll definitely be using some for decoration, too

The one annoyance is multiples can't spawn near each other. So, I get this:
And this:
But, never at the same time. Now, you might say, "Yeah, because the holes are too close." True, but I also have a spoiled turnip in the back, and they won't spawn simultaneously, either.
