I don’t know if anyone mentioned this, but the balloon disappears when you shoot it in front of resident services.

Apparently if you save and end with a wasp sting, your game will load with the wasp sting still there.

 

[MelodyRivers]

and if you place a frog down you can hear it ribbit!

Yes I put a frog down and I left it there because I enjoyed the sound so much

If you ever hear screaming going on, run.

I learned about pitfall seeds...

And realized that it's the same thing that happened to me when I accidentally pole vault into a hole that I had dug.

Reference: I was on a Mystery Island to catch tarantulas and I had dug up an awkward section of the island to keep away bug spawns.

It worked, but then I forgot that I had dug all those holes and so when I pole vaulted over, I fell into a hole.

Related to this, I learned that the animals leave different footprints on the sand!

I don't have any bird villagers of my own, so when I saw Celeste walking on my beach, I couldn't stop staring at her owl-y footprints.

Last night, when I came home from visiting a friend, Sally was on the beach with her back to the camera and looking up. For a minute, I thought she saw a shooting star, but when I talked to her, she said that "someone has left airplane trails over our island".

...that weeds both grow and spread on the beach.

TIL from Instagram that the wooden stool can be customised with fabric/custom designs. This is a small detail but it feels like a game changer!

today I learned that you can fish when on higher ground from the river below! woohoo!

 

[jo_electric]

Today I learned that you can throw things away in any trash can.

 

[GDarling]

Today I learned you can grow Coconut trees anywhere on your island as long as you put the Island Editor sand base for the seed

 

[Rubombee]

TIL that you need to talk to Blathers before you can do the stamp rally!

Today I learned that if a visitor is around, my villagers will not have any reactions towards the reaction I did.
Usually when I do the "flourish" reaction, my nearby villagers will either clap or do the same thing as I did, but when visitors come, they just ignore the reaction. Dom do not react anything when I did that reaction 4 times in front of him.

this is interesting!

Today I learned that if you have a close relationship with a villager and they're singing, they are very likely to respond positively if you clap or do some other positive Reaction and they will also likely continue singing.

On the other hand, if it's a newer villager, they are more likely to stop singing and leave altogether and it doesn't matter if you're encouraging them or not.

Fuchsia, Beau, and Sylvana started singing and when I did the Glee Reaction, Fuchsia and Beau paused to smile and continued singing while Sylvana, my newest, stopped.

I later caught Sylvana singing and when I got too close to her, she left again.

This is the same behavior I had noticed with Fuchsia when we were still building our friendship, but didn't think much about it until now.

Today I learnt that you can get requests from villager pings! Octavian pinged me and asked me to catch him a carp
