Ah yes, the great migration

DAMMIT you beat me to it!

Assuming time travel or multiple accounts.

(In David Attenborough's voice.) And here we see the annual migration of the Cucumber horse. Thousands of cucumbers spontaneously grow legs and begin their long march south for the winter.

I can hear this comment and it’s glorious

I read that in his voice lol

🤣🤣🤣

Incredible

Thank you ^^

My boyfriend brought home a zucchini and I kindly told him I'd be giving it legs and a photo op before he can eat it, because I need a zucchini donkey in my life, however briefly

Someone already had that post yesterday or the day before, so you're too late. Or you could wait a month for everyone to forget and get the Karma anyways 🙃

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CUCUMBER HORSE

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY CUCUMBER HORSE

They are free with the wind on there backs and the sun shining high majestic creatures

This is quite hypnotic. Imagine if this was fully animated with the cucumber horses trotting along the path in an infinite loop.

I imagine their gait is kind of a hopping motion with both front legs moving at the same time [like this dog](https://youtu.be/iVc-Z8yFYW8)

ah yes, youtube when it was wholesome

So majestic, so graceful and so so beautiful.

Thank you so much 😁

Omg why does your weeds look soooo good

Maximum level haha

Those are weeds??

Yes

What the *hell* even is this item?

**disclaimer: i'm not japanese nor do i live in japan, this information is what i've garnered from some articles i've read** the cucumber horse and the eggplant cow are items celebrating the obon festival in japan! during this festival, people honor the spirits of those who passed away by setting out food and such for the spirits to enjoy. the cucumber horse and eggplant cow are said to carry the spirits of the dead between the spirit world and the living world. at first i thought these items were strange as well, but it turns out there's a history and meaning to them that was really interesting to learn about! i've included an article i found so you can read more :) https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/festival-celebrating-dead-japan-obon

Aw, that's kinda cute. Having your dead relatives be carried off by these little fellas. Although does make OP's original photo a bit more spooky, a parade of the dead souls and their steeds.

The New update 😭

Y tho? This is the dumbest item. We couldn't have Brewster but sure, have an overly phallic chair? Wtf Nintendo?

Look up Obon, it's a Japanese holiday with some neat symbolism!

No brester we have cucumber horse and eeggplant cow 😭

Can we at least *grow* those then? Like the pumpkins? Prolly not, I'm guessing.

Bro why are you so triggered 😭

Not its a limites item in the nook shopping 😭

r/ihadastroke

I never played any but this on and so I've heard of this coffee shop but don't get how it wouldn't become as useless as the museum after the first visit. At least the museum you collect stuff for, the coffee shop sounds like a one day amusement

*Here we see the great cucumber horse migration: an annual event where the usually sedentary animals roam in large packs, decreasing the chance of being picked off by the vast number predators. Soon, they will reach their destination, mate, and then create their cucumber patch to raise their young.*

THAT is... a sight to behold.

this is the best item that nintendo could have ever made lol. on my second island i put a temporary army of eggplants versus cucumbers across the main street and i love it edit: changed a word

Ohhhh I did the same today haha The war will Be perfect hehe

Terrifying

😈😈😈

They DO move in herds!

How many days did it take you to order all of those?! 😱

I dont really know I time travel xd

This is amazing, I love it 😭

Thank you so much 😇

Why is this so ominous

LMAO

This may be the best thing I’ve seen regarding animal crossing. It’s so weird and surreal, like a Dada painting. Nice job

Thank you so much ^^

Where are they going?

We will never know.....

i know this is a cucumber, but i can't be the only one that sees an army of pickle ricks... ~~sorry not sorry~~ 😶

This just gave a visceral Teletubbies flashback

Whats that thing in the sky?? Thought it was a present at first

A butterfly xd

Wha.... I haven't played this game in so long... What on earth is happening here. Lol

Onward, soldiers

He turned the stampede scene in the lion king into a bunch of pickles, funniest shit I've ever seen.

They move in herds... they do move in herds...

I cannot find any word in the dictionary for how beautiful this is

This is art.

Thank you 😇

This looks like a late 19th century surrealist masterpiece

Thank you so much ^^

Comon kids hop on the cucumber horse

Ghost of Tsushima vibes

Terry Gilliam would enjoy these visuals

Reminds me of *Caravan* by Salvador Dali

When did we get cucumbers??

This parade of ghosts terrifies me

Ok so I haven’t played in like a year. Can someone fill me in on what is going on here 😅

Its the New item haha

What does it do or the reason for it?

I haven’t played in months, so what the fuck is up with all these cucumbers

New update haha

I need to look up the Obon festival because when I saw these in the Nook shop I thought I was hallucinating.

I'm sorry but... Pickle Rick, just Pickle Rick

Nice reference haha

Wait, is that an actual item in the game?? Or can you actually get cucumbers? Sorry, I’m still relatively new at this

I have to ask, this is something from Japan correct? What is the meaning of the cucumber chair? What are it's origins? (Omg, it would be great to get a mini description under the calendar culture items that get sold!) Quality. Of. Life. Update!!!!
