Today I Learned: New Horizons Edition

[Bethboj]

Today I learned that a contrail will appear in the sky for up to 15 minutes after a DAL plan departs or lands.

I noticed this a couple days ago because one of my villagers pointed it out!

TIL the handmade cape and crown set can be ordered through the seasonal section of the nook catalog! I've been wanting those.

Today I learned how to cycle lol, it was a pretty confusing process at first but once you're doing it, you'll just naturally get used to it...

How I did it is I TT'ed 5 days at a time, and went on that day from the morning and night, so if I don't see anyone having the thought bubble in the morning or night, I'll TT forward another day until I found someone, if the thought bubble didn't land on the villager I want, I'll TT forward 5 days again and just repeat the process I did until the thought bubble lands on the villager I'm willing to kick out

TIL that if you gift tambourine or small instruments to villagers, they'll give you attitude. I tried to give Lionel a tambourine as he has the music interest but I guess they can't use it because he was super disappointed about it

TIL that you can activate wall furniture even with a whole item in your way :0
I visited someone who had a bathtub & a wall shower thing on the wall right behind it, and when I pressed A my character jumped over the bathtub to activate the shower!

TIL that Saharah gives you tickets if you buy her rugs.

i’m probably late to figuring this out because I’ve only ever bought wallpaper and flooring from her

 

[Le Ham]

TIL there's an item limit for rooms, and the framerate drops significantly when you hit it

 

[An0nn]

You can sit in the pet bed. Has this been mentioned before? YOU CAN SIT IN THE PET BED. I was so pleased to learn this. Perhaps more pleased than the situation warranted. Still.

TIL that you can unlock a special silk rug if you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership.

I learnt that some villagers don’t like you watching them sing.

WHAT

 

[Bethboj]

Today I learned that some villagers don’t appreciate receiving 10k bells in the mail

(Wolfgang told me off, Bam thought I was silly to worry about his financial status)

 

[Hay]

Today I learned that you can change the volume of any music player...

I feel so dumb for no noticing LOL, its so useful when I have music playing in each room of my house

 

[Insulaire]

Today I learned Peanut runs with a weird crowd

 

[Manon_Despoina]

I didn't exactly learn it today, but could as well have I learned that if you move someone in by Amiibo, if you don't play on their move-in/boxes day their house glitches and will have the exterior of the resident before them. Now my poor Bill has Nana's exterior (which isn't too bad, but I like his log cabin do much more). So now I have to move him out and in again and make sure I play everyday of the process. Blah.

I thought glitches like this only happened if one TT's, but apparently not.

Today I learned that you can't hang the Sagittarius arrow on your front door. I knew it was unlikely to work, but I'm still a little disappointed

 

[Shellzilla_515]

A few things I learned:

• As cruel as it may sound, if you hit your villagers with a net at a high friendship level, they don't get mad. Instead, they either say that they're concerned that your not yourself or that you need to talk to them if you have a problem.
• If you're inside Redd's ship on the day it rains, you can hear raindrops hitting the roof of it.
• If you buy a furniture while a villager is looking at it, they will get a surprised reaction. I had this happen to Bea and I thought it was silly.

Apparently, when fishing, after the sinker sinks and you press A, when the fish is already going around, it is good as caught. You don’t need to mash the A button. I’ve been playing wrong for the past 13 years.

You as well? it sounds like me when I was fishing in NL as I thought this was the way as well, my poor 3DS’s (A) button was abused until I accidentally did it when I was tired and I was playing late at night (I like fishing as it helps me sleep) needless to say, I was pretty surprised, and glad I didn’t have to repeat button presses, and my fishing became a whole lot simpler.

TIL: Palm Tree lamps take up 1.5x1.5, not 1x1. this is so annoying, as they practically take up 4 spaces. it ruins my plans with them

 

[Meira]

TIL that Agent S is a girl haha awks
All this time I thought she was a guy
