The "I learned something new today!" Thread

[Oldcatlady]

I’ve been looking for a stone stool and frying pan DIY in new horizon since I started playing over a month ago. Haven’t even seen anyone sell it and thought it was strange because they seemed like beginner DIYs all my friends had. I only found out today that I didn’t have it because I didn’t buy the beginners DIY pack That also explains why I didn’t get a slingshot recipe and eventually i gave up and bought it separately from nooks like a week after I started playing

How unorganized people are in general.. is it so hard to decide on a time and place if you want people to come lol

That “you can’t get blood out of a turnip” is a phrase people use.

today i learned an answer to my question from before

 

[Alienfish]

There is a colour named "buff" and apparently it's that one ugly yellow/green-ish white chinos pants colour that all old ladies wear that doesn't go with anything lol

Today I learned how to use the blurry spoiler on here. You just add an i before the spoiler, (ispoiler)(/ispoiler).

So THAT'S how people are doing it.

I swear there needs to be a thread for all the BB text codes, and how to make graphs, tables, coloured hyperlinks, like dang it took me so long to make half of these things, the other half I don't even know how to do. I've thought about makin a thread like that before, it would help newbies. Except I don't know how to do all the fancy stuff.

I actually learned that fact from this site.

BB codes

The list of BB codes you can use to spice up the look of your messages. This page shows a list of all BB codes that are available.

But I think it's too hidden, you have to click on the Help option at the bottom of the page to get to the option in the first place.

Wow, so much stuff I didn't know. Also, charge users to see content? Uh, WHAT?

Wow, I didn't even notice the charge option. I wonder if it's actually enabled yet?

I'll try it with 1 TBT: [charge=0]Does it work?[/charge]

Edit: I logged out and it seems to work.

I changed it to 0 so nobody accidentally pays.

Yup, it's abled. That's really weird but atleast it brings up a pop up menu saying it'll charge you, that way there's no sneaky stuff goin on.

This is the alert btw:

TIL that while the DOL-100 Gamecube model has both a composite and component output on the back, the DOL-101 model only has the composite output. I personally have the DOL-100 model, but it's not like I have a cable to hook it up to a component output anyways.
(Just looked it up, apparently composite/HDMI adapters for the GCN are heckin expensive. Also the official digital out cable made by Nintendo goes for $175+ now. oof I'll stick w my analog output lol)

I also learned that on the DOL-100 model, the black disc on the top of the disc tray cover (the nameplate) can be popped off. The underside of the tray cover has a few black tabs that hold it in place, and they can be popped out. They removed the ability to easily pop out the nameplate on the DOL-101 model, though personally I don't see a reason as to why anyone would need to pop it out anyways. It's not like you can see the disc inside spinning when it's removed.

TIL that one of my moms worked at Pearl Harbor during the 1980s! I knew she was stationed in Hawaii during that time, but I had no idea she worked somewhere so memorable.

I found out something today that is kinda crazy to me but also makes total sense, on The Models Resource of all places:

Someone uploaded the models for the Octopuses in New Horizons and this was in the comment section. I didn't even realize this was a thing but now I know that "octopi" is grammatically incorrect!

TIL what soliloquy means, I'm still confused if it's the same thing as when character on tv "speak" their thought for the audience to know what going on in their mind.
