Hey,

Since Verizon bought Yahoo, Tumblr's parent company, I've decided to stop using Tumblr, effective tonight (11:59pm, cst). I'm not deleting anything (yet), but I am stopping all use. Verizon has a history of trying to kill net neutrality, and I do not wish to be associated with their services.

Find me on Twitter: ilikemuffins; Discord: itsmechristinag; or Twitch: itsmechristinag

Animal Crossing Pocket Camp Tips!

-SAVE YOUR LEAF TICKETS. These are extremely valuable and the hardest currency to get more of. Don’t waste them early on small projects that take minutes; some projects take days and some items are leaf ticket exclusive. Trust me, you can wait the few minutes in the beginning.

-Honey and fish nets aren’t really worth their price. If you look in an area multiple times (leave and come back) you’ll eventually find what you’re looking for. Honey and fish nets are also sometimes given to you as a log-in bonus and that’s really the best way to use them.

-Calling cards and request tickets are extremely useful; they let you do more requests and earn more materials and build affection with the villager you choose.

-If you shake fruit trees and leave the fruit on the ground, the tree can grow more while you leave the extras for when you need them to save on inventory space. They won’t spoil!

-Shaking trees that don’t grow fruit sometimes drops bells!

-Ask your friends to help you in the quarry, don’t use leaf tickets. It’s not worth it. Helping friends get into the quarry (the orange shovel icon next to them, helping is a button tap) earns you bells, so help each other!

-Bells are fairly easy to come by, but don’t waste them all either. I like to keep about 5,000 at all times in case.

-You unlock more villagers as you level up! Currently there are 40 villagers, with more to be added with future updates.

-Villagers affection level is locked at 7 by default, but building amenities that fit the theme they like will increase their max affection up to level 20, at which point you’ll earn their photo.

-Do all of your villagers requests to earn the supplies you need to craft new objects. Each villager gives out different materials, so help all of them to get what you need!

-Talk to your campsite villagers often, they have gifts for you!

-Don’t put rare items in your market box- they’re the least likely to sell. Sell extra regular items instead.

-Don’t worry about your loan from OK Motors too much. The upgrades don’t add huge amounts of space, so take your time.

-Remember this is a mobile game, and it’s not meant to be played 24/7. This is an app, and it’s not supposed to be played like a regular animal crossing game (playing for longer periods of time). Check in a few times a day and have fun!

The fact that the location of the world’s oldest tree has to be kept secret encapsulates everything that’s bad about humanity.

[hyperappreciation]

There’s a story about that, actually.

According to the smithsonianmag.com, the world’s oldest bristlecone pine was a nearly 5,000 year old tree later named Prometheus. In 1964, a man named Donald Rusk Currey decided to use an increment borer to determine its age (a process that cuts a small hole into the center of the tree trunk, and is not intended to kill the tree). Unfortunately, the borer got stuck. He and a park ranger cut the tree down to remove the equipment, and when they counted the tree rings, they realized their mistake. Oops. This incident lead to better protection of the remaining bristlecone pines.

There’s some wiggle room about what can be called “the world’s oldest living tree.” The world’s oldest living single tree is the tree that the OP is referring to. Its name is Methuselah,and it is also around 5,000 years old. Since its location is unknown, nobody knows what it looks like. But it might be this tree here:

But technically, it isn’t the oldest living tree. Let me explain.

It turns out that root systems of trees can send up genetically identical saplings (aka clones) via their root systems. Like so:

Which means the original trunk can die, but since the root system is attached to other trees which give it nutrients, it lives on. The root system can theoretically do this indefinitely. So the tree trunks could be fairly young, but the roots could be large and very, very, very old. So the oldest “tree” isn’t a small grove, it’s a logic-defying forest.

I’d like you to meet Pando.

This male quaking aspen covers 106 acres and is ancient. I’m talking an estimate of 80,000 years. The trees you can see are just “shoots” he sent up, and their average age is 130 years old. He is his own forest. If trees could talk, I’d love to hear what he had to say.

He might be dying, due to insects and drought (hmm, wonder what could have happened to cause that). A section of Pando is being studied in an attempt to find a solution. But in the meantime, we can enjoy him for his beauty.

TLDR: Yes please, protect the trees from humans!
