I learned that there's a limit to a number of things you can display in your house in one room. I still have space and yet, the game won't allow me to place furniture down. It sucks because my storage is packed full.
Oh I never posted this when I actually learned it, but something reminded me.
When you're doing cast master, to count as a fail, you either need to leave the fish on the hook too long after it bobs and let it swim away without pressing A, or you need to press A too soon once a fish has started nibbling. Recasting to better position your fishing cast in front of the fish doesn't count against cast master.
(Also my tip is to do it only a few fish at a time, say ten. I fished for a weekend straight trying to grind it out and I would get fatigued before the end and press A too soon. When I slowed down and only fished when I had a "catch 5 fish" Nook Miles task and did 5 or 10 fish at a time, I got the final cast master achievement no problem (and sooner than I thought, because I had lost track of how many sets of ten I'd fished.))

TIL that buying all of the new hairstyles and hair colors with my Nook Miles tickets have some different hairstyles and lacks some of the older hairstyles and colors from previous games. I wish that they had light brown and other hairstyles. 
I spent months before I realized that too.. Glad I'm not the only one

Probably this is silly, but I learned that if you are in front of some water instead of keep walking towards it to jump it, you can press A and your character will jump right away I know, I'm dumb but I literally just found out this!

Are you sure? I just tried this but it doesn't seem to go any faster at all... :0

Yes it works for me, if the gap is small enough to be jumped instead of just keep walking towards it, you can press A while you are walking and your character will do the jump
It saves little to no time but I think it's cool!

I still see exactly no difference in delay between walking up and jumping versus walking up, pressing A and jumping. And my character certainly doesn't jump without the walking, so I think it's still the walking that does it, and the extra button just looks like it is helping while doing absolutely nothing
I have tested this on single wide gaps, double wide gaps, diagonal ones too...

Hahaha now I feel even more like an idiot, I genuinely thought it was the A that did the trick and that I made this big discovery but apparently it does nothing more than pressing A while you're catching a Pokemon

Today I learned that Truffles is apparently female...
(I'm cheating on the thread since I discovered it playing NL, but still)
I've been sending her letters calling her "my sweet piggy dude"... Oopsy. Sorry for misgendering you, Truffles!

now please I will accept the money-payment
Isn't that fascinating, that NH doesn't even force villager genders on you a lot of the time, and you have to go online or to another game to find out? There are seldom occasions where the villagers even refer to each other as he or she, it's usually they

Okay so this is the second thing that I unfortunately learned. This time, I discovered it while I was searching up animal crossing t-pose gifs. Don't ask me why. I'm gonna put it in a spoiler if you're that curious to know.
Apparently, every single villager's base model lacks clothing according to one image of a tweet. I don't think I'll unsee it now... Thanks, Google.
