Things you didn't know about forever?

How am I just now learning that deer were INTRODUCED in ACNL, they never appeared in any other game. I thought I could get Diana in WW what is this?
 
Today I learned that villagers can send you saplings in the mail. I got a letter from Annalisa talking about plants, so I figured the gift was going to be one of the plant furniture items. But when I opened it up, I was surprised to see a cedar sapling! I knew they might occasionally send flowers, but not saplings.
 
People say your Villagers can sit on rocks, they never do that in my town so i want to discover if that's true or not.

they can defs sit on benches though! i have seen my villagers on both of my benches but never on that one ugly permanent rock :(
 
I didn't know the noises tootoids make represent pigs, I thought it was farts lmao.
 
I literally just found out yesterday you can fish off a cliff. It made catching the char much easier.
 
Catching Bees

I am new to the forum, but not new to ACNL (since Dec. 2013), and only discovered in the last month the best way to catch bees is not to run, but stand still. Stand directly in the front center of tree, shake the tree, your character will turn and face the fallen hive...at that point, just hit A a couple times and you will catch the bee automatically. Great way to collect bells (each bee is 2,500 bells and "wealthy town" is 3,000). It's probably obvious--but you do need to already have your net in your hand for this to work properly.

This was only a thing because of the Welcome Amiibo update adding the feature of being able to shake trees with tools held.
 
The Horned hercules and golden stag battle each other in the museum
 
I don't wanna know how much of my life was collectively wasted donating items to the museum. One. By. one.

I reached at least 70% all collections until I realised Blathers would accept more than one at a time. I felt sooo dumb. I'm too set in the ways of Wild World and City Folk, even today!

That's actually a ridiculously cool little detail. I would have never noticed without you pointing it out!

The scorpion and other disgusting horid summer beast fight each other too. They like size each other up, pounce then get bounced back.

Well i still the old technique where you run, open iventory (freeze bee movement), get net, close inventory, catch bee.

Jumping off a cliff to swim in the ocean with a wet suit. I kept doing it again and again since it was very fun

New to the forums, but not new to animal crossing

I've been using the shovel for so long, and didn't know you could press y to cover up the damn holes
 
i have a confession to make.
i didn't know people were changing the clock ingame to time travel (or that you COULD change the time ingame without changing the ds system time) up until like a few months ago. i've been time traveling by changing the system's clock this whole time

You’re not alone LOL
 
i just found out earlier this week that you can make wishes on the shooting stars and get a present in the mail the next day.
i've had this game since december 27, 2014. i am but a fool
 
I have just recently learned that, in the Club Lol, there is a different type of show on Saturdays, and you can type in songs to request! That is one of the coolest things!! I love it a lot! :D

I can't believe I never came across this. like. ever. so cute lol
 
that when you're diving and the shadow disappears you can press 'y' to get back to the surface faster instead of waiting for your character to emerge on their own
 
im not sure if this is something stupid of me to realize at this point. but i just realized that when you talk to a male villager, they have a blue bubble around their name. when you talk to a female villager, they have a pink bubble around their name. and when you talk to a special character (npc), their name would appear with a green bubble around it.

sometimes i didn't know the gender of some of the villagers, and had to search it up, without knowing that i could just look at their name bubble. weird.

Didn't realize your could put down patterns to prevent villagers from moving into certain places, it's already too late for me to even try to fix that, 3 of my villagers already moved into horrible places including one destroying a stump I wanted to keep and also 2 of my dreamies and a rando basically moving in in a row right next to my house. It also didn't occur to me that filling out retail with your own junk will prevent villagers from ruining their own homes. A bit too late for that too.
