Animal Crossing: New Horizons exploded onto the scene in early 2021, eventually becoming one of the best-selling titles of the year. Animal Crossing: New Horizons tasks players with taking care of their own island village while managing debt, construction, and collection of wildlife.

Naturally, though this is supposed to be a calming experience, players can become overwhelmed by the sheer number of things that need done to progress, especially when certain actions require time to be completed. For example, Animal Crossing: New Horizons' museum takes a long time to complete, leading to frustration from players waiting to start their collections.

For players focused on designing their perfect island vision, being able to move structures quickly is extremely beneficial to speeding up the process. However, because of the time it takes to move said structures, it can become an annoying task rather than an enjoyable one. However, players found a way to get around the issue of time, and one player decided to create an animation that makes light of this trick.

By changing the time on a player's Nintendo Switch, they can artificially change the in-game time for Animal Crossing, thus allowing them to speed up any processes that may take time to complete. Reddit user Densle decided that it would be fun to depict what this process would look like for the other island inhabitants, creating an animation that spoofed the process. The result was a hilarious montage
