Planting a Farm In the Middle of a Dystopia | ACNH Speed Build

[@derkatzenmensch220]

28:40 I used to believe that little baby birds were inside every egg. Everytime my mom made fried egg I started to cry. Sometimes I would even hide the eggs so she wouldnt "kill" them 😂

[@trinitimckellar6250]

I thought so toooo well I thought if we didn't put them in the fridge they would turn into Chicks. Very sad 💀

[@EJPlays]

OMG nooo this is so sad 😂

[@ashmariimo]

the robots can simply look at the vegetables! imagine little robots watering plants and caring for them! awaahsdhahsahhh

[@chibipeach]

Using the little toy robot item would be soooo cute for that idea 🥺

[@EJPlays]

wait that's adorable tho

[@KJ_Draws]

@@EJPlays did you add them💖

[@Cloud9berries]

Like wall e

[@beeswanson115]

yessss i’m so excited to see another of your dystopian builds, i seriously love this island it’s so COOL 😭😭 just an idea but you could put the wooden field sign across the end of that road to look like it got closed after The Catastrophe™️ also- weirdest thing i believed as a child: i truly thought for the longest time that when i turned 16 i would gain a bunch of magic powers and the whole adult world just hid it from the children 😌✨ i’m still waiting tbh

[@EJPlays]

ummmm I want my super powers?? what a scam I didn't get any

[@jonnymankin]

Loving these builds. Weirdest thing I believed as a kid were that little people lived behind our eyeballs and would be on scaffolding to remove the dirt that gets into our eyes.

[@ambrosiathames9505]

I believed that if you crossed your eyes for long enough, they would stay that way forever. Love your builds; keep it up.

[@mj6818]

I also believed this! Mostly bc my mom told me this once

[@EJPlays]

I.... definitely didn't just realize that this isn't true.........

[@rabberthughes3538]

I really like this area! The little vegetable garden is so cute! When I was a kid, there was a period of time when I thought my grandma had been a professional folk musician. That wasn't an inherently outlandish thing to believe, it just wasn't true.

[@sleepyheadsarah]

When we were kids, my cousins and I believed we could CATCH Santa. We spent the days leading up to Christmas laying elaborate booby traps for him but that wily old elf eluded us every time.

[@stinkyvicki]

man i've always loved like dystopian type builds and this one is just *mwah* chefs kiss perfect ! and anyways probably the weirdest thing i believed as a kid was that you had seven layers of skin and when you lost of all them you were dead. and that's why old people had wrinkly, saggy skin. & i would freak out whenever i would accidentally pick at my scabs n stuff.

[@EJPlays]

This is... so specific?? Why 7? I'm obsessed

[@blinkgirlVM]

Hello! I'm usually a lurker but I had to comment just to say that you're not the only one that liked the Lost finale. There are a few of us with "lack of taste" lol. It was about the relationships all along!!! Anyway, awesome build as always :)

[@honeyteababy]

i believed that the moon followed me and ONLY me. i love your builds EJ! industrial theme is something i'd never do myself but i love the way it looks on other people's islands :)

[@16th_demon]

the audible gasp i let out when you said you were cooking dinner at 1am. it's 3:30am right now and i'm having my dinner. i love to find my people.

[@EJPlays]

OMG TWINS

[@Aerdran]

When I was little, I thought that when you listen to the radio the artist was there at the station playing personally and wondered how they could fit so many people at the station at the same time. Also, I loved Lost, and was perfectly happy with the ending! (fave part: reunion of Sawyer and Juliet!)

[@EJPlays]

oh gosh... I can feel the tears just thinking about that reunion tbh

[@bonjouritsready]

I love how Mike from Mike’s Mic is Australian but because he does the same joke British accent EJ thought he was British himself 😂 truly, saying ‘luv’ and ‘babes’ is all you need to pull it off 😂

[@seeminglyerika]

This island. 😍😍 I’ve loved your other islands but wow this one is just SO GOOD. Weirdest thing I can remember…my grandparents had a sandbox and my grandma and I were playing in it once. We were “making pies” and putting the sand into pie tins. I definitely thought that since they were pies, it would magically be tasty…and ate sand. Learned very quickly this wasn’t true. 😵‍💫

[@jakeb.6487]

28:40 the weirdest thing i believed when i was little was not that cameras slowly developed colour and people developed computer animation, but that cameras had always existed and that the earth had gone through several phases. first was the "hand-drawn" phase, where everything existed as hand-drawn animation like in old disney movies like cinderella, next was the "3D" phase, where everything looked animated but 3D like in shrek, next was the black-and-white phase, where everything was realistic but black-and-white like in film noir, and the latest phase was colour, as everything is normally. the weirdest thing was in my kid brain i rationalised that through every single one of these phases, life had evolved from single cells, the dinosaurs had came and went, mammals and humans had evolved and human technology had developed, and then it would start all over again with the next phase. somehow i completely missed the fact that cameras are a human-made technology and did not in fact persist through several big bangs and millions of years of evolution, and that somehow all the movies we have today had actually survived millions of years from being filmed in these alternate earths.

[@anastasiab700]

Ooo another build idea: a little repair shop! Since its a dystopia and they have limited supplies, they'll have to reuse/repair their supplies in order to extend the lifetime of their stuff! Just a lil idea. LOVE YA TOOTS GREAT VIDEO YET AGAIN

[@anastasiab700]

Also thanks to toy story i legitimately believed my toys came to life when i wasnt there and it terrified me. Also i would love it if u gave book reviews in ur builds! I love when u chat about what you're watching/reading/listening to atm :3

[@EJPlays]

ooooo a repair shop is a great idea!!

[@snekings5778]

EJ I'm in love with your long videos they make me so happy

[@snekings5778]

Also bestie not you calling Mike's Mic Bri ish when he's australian

[@EJPlays]

.....omfg I'm so embarrassed

[@pinkcadillac227]

that hair gets curly if you "eat the crust" (bread, pizza, etc.). that is something that my mom and grandmother would tell me so i would finish my food. and honestly, i was WAY too old when i found out that wasn't true. 😂

[@EJPlays]

what a WILD lie your matriarchs came up with!!

[@CoorieDoon]

when i was a kid i used to believe that if you dropped litter, the police would do DNA testing on it and find you, then fine or imprison you for it. I do NOT know why I thought this or where it came from, but I believed it for far too long... Also i just love how your stream build videos are literally just as much of you as it would be on a stream. You had me cackling so much

[@EJPlays]

I've just stopped trying to be ~structured~ and serious at this point 😂

[@aishageorge3056]

As a British born person who lives in London, I must say that your British accent is really good...Impressive! 😄 Americans usually do terrible British accents...😕

[@ArstyImogenSky]

I thought aliens would land in my yard and take me away. I loved this video. Enjoyed your build. Keep these coming!

[@corrinerhiannon1177]

ahhh, im really happy my idea inspired you!! this build looks amazing (and im rly happy u kept the laundry area

[@EJPlays]

thank you for the idea!!

[@raephillips3563]

I believed if Rollie Pollies touched the carpet they would just instantly die. But I love the build so much and made my morning so much better! Thank you! Can't wait for your next video! :D

[@finalfantasysrikku]

First off, I love your energy and commentary- Instant subscriber Second, this is such a cool build and I love the idea of a dystopian commune in ACNH! I almost always do natural, forests builds but this is really inspiring me to try something completely new!!

[@wolfie997]

Great build, and it's really realistic too. Or at least believable, this whole island reminds me of Shadowrun. (I'm showing my age with that one). The weirdest thing I believed when I was a kid, was that in the summer when the sun set much later, it was because the adults needed their own time off. And kids had to be in bed even if it was still light out, too give them their 'summer vacations'. Totally thought my parents were going to pool parties etc while I slept. XD

[@KiraSnacks]

the 'sir' at the balloon at 12:46 lmao

[@cheldarbinks]

I don't keep up with the Drag Race Cinematic Universe (the RPDRCU, if you will) but DANG I didn't know there was someone from GR!!!! the coolest city no one has ever heard of or cares about. the fact that Cats was IT feels prophetic. and as my co worker once said, "folks panning Cats were just a little *too* concerned about them sometimes having human hands and sometimes having cat paws" and I think that said it all.

[@cheldarbinks]

omg also how didn't I know we have the same sun sign bestie

[@daisylovexx]

Watching this made me smile ear to ear ☺️

[@alyssalenee18]

the fact that i am a HUGE mikes mic stan and when you said lost all i thought about was mike, and then you said mikes mic and i, omg

[@eli-nation6053]

Ej: places down grate custom path Me: don't say it Ej: well that looks....... Me: Ejjjjj don't- Ej: Great Me: ugh 🤦🏾‍♀️🙄

[@rejamrejam]

Funniest thing I believed as a kid: a relative my mom hates got her name at a Christmas party (huge family so we drew names to give gifts) and got her one of those big tubs of Walmart flavored popcorn. I was reading the label and asked her what "gourmet" meant and really darkly she says, "in this case it means cheap." I spent the next several years of my life thinking that every time "gourmet" was on a label it meant cheap. This only got cleared up because years later my granny was watching that old TV show The Frugal Gourmet and I asked her what frugal meant... And she said "it means cheap!" Lmao

[@pearbear_plays5613]

I absolutely love your video builds. Here for the humor, here for the catastrophe, here for the good vibes! Keep it up EJ, love these :)

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I love how this is turning out!! I wanna live there IRL with the robots in their commune. OMG what a dream. When you were talking about LOST I realized I never finished that show. I remember watching the first season on TV (yes I'm old haha) and I kinda got so confused about what the hell was going on after that. I'd totally watch you do a breakdown on it! I literally can't even think of anything weird I believed as a kid. I know there's stuff but my brain is no thoughts, head empty right now lol

[@kelleysmithkasperstarr1401]

💙 loved the build and all your commentary. I just told my family how much i hate the whole cooking/eating situation even though i know we have to eat to survive its just very much a hassle to have to do it everyday. Lol. I love to cook, but lately just been way to depressed to want to do anything.

[@peachiesophie]

weirdest thing i believed: i saw an episode of ghost hunters or something like that, and some guy said there were like glowing fairy sprite things attacking him and i was SO scared that they were gonna come after me so i'd like always make sure to not open my eyes at night bc i was so scared i'd see them and they'd attack me 😅😅 the whole thing feels like such a fever dream honestly. also the irony that i'm now obsessed w/ fairies and have a fairycore island lmaooo

[@EJPlays]

This sounds like something I'd have thought of too ahahah

[@Andi-dt7nh]

Cats (2019) was the last movie i saw in theaters too and i will never forget jason derulo's excessive runs and all the sounds of human feet hitting the ground in the dance numbers 😔

[@xcentrikveronik1894]

✌️😸 #lovetolayer When I was tiny, my grandpa made me believe that an air pressure tool was in fact a thermometer. He made me blow in it until I realised he was messing with me. He still talks about it. 🤫

[@EJPlays]

LMAO okay that's pretty funny

[@elainalien]

Ej!!!!! This looks so cute!!!! And I think the weirdest thing I thought when I was a child, is that I would get mistaken as an adult. People kept telling me how tall I was, so six year old me thought I was a giant. So when I went to Disney World, I thought I would get arrested for dressing up as a princess because I heard adults weren't allowed to be dressed as characters. You know what, I actually think me thinking I was going to get arrested for dressing up at Disney World was the strangest thing I believed.

[@melissacappadonna3570]

The reason you put boats in backwards is because of the motor. You need the motor in the water to help get the boat off the shore.

[@EJPlays]

you know if I thought about this for .5 seconds longer I probably could have come to this conclusion on my own 😂

[@offkeyanthem173]

oh my god i just realised that both us us have cephalobot, erik and cherry ! it’s nice to see them living on your awesome island ahha

[@littlelistmaker]

I saw Cats with my sister in a theater really late at night in our small city and we were the only ones in the theater, which is the dream if you don't have a rowdy showing nearby. We could just openly heckle the movie entirely by ourselves.

[@EJPlays]

omg that sounds like a DREAM

[@littlelistmaker]

@@EJPlays It was def a top 10 theater experience. Would not mind if that was my last time in theaters but alas that was the garbage February release of "The Turning" - a horror movie no one saw or remembers.

[@Voldecourt]

The last movie I saw before covid was ALSO a rowdy Cats showing at the alamo drafthouse but in LA, and I completely agree with all your Cats opinions, lmao.

[@TheArtsyGamer_]

Weirdest thing I believed in as a child: I thought children were born two ways: either through the belly button... or from the throat. The reality of childbirth did NOT improve with knowledge on the matter.

[@michaelcrossing9831]

i love this build sm and i love how ej does random yet entertaining commentary, it makes it really entertaining to watch also, used to believe if i didn't give my tooth to the "tooth fairy" she would pull out one of my teeth 😭😭

[@16bitbre.]

Literally made ziti at like 12 am the other day and had butter noodles today like I seriously have a problem with pasta bc it’s easy and fast 😂

[@mamacat2049]

Love your builds EJ. It looks a little bit like my back yard garden area. I can totally relate and would feel comfortable there.🥰 weirdest thing I believed as a kid, that I could leave my body while I was sleeping and drive my parents car around. I so remember that dream and used to ask my parents about it all the time.😜

[@fishtstick]

you know what you do be using the wheat field item.... also as a kid i believed there were tiny people in the tvs acting it all out

[@EJPlays]

oh wow, that's like.. a little horrifying? but kinda fun?

[@dove674]

you doing an impression of cyrus is golden but honestly everything you do is golden

[@PWNDON]

28:35 i thought slenderman watched me use the bathroom everytime i did

[@dalydos3]

Lmao I watched Cats on VHS every single day after school growing up. I still haven’t seen the remake cuz I’ve heard it’s bad. I love this build !

[@EJPlays]

I mean... it is not a good version of cats... but it is definitely a... trip

[@CloudLoud]

I love the balloon time song! 😄 I Challenge you to do a build entierly out of items from balloons!

[@mewporter]

First off, I think we need a super cut of you shooting down balloons. Would watch. Second off - you know the urban legend that if you look in the bathroom mirror in the dark and say Bloody Mary three times, she'll show up and kill you? Well my dad told me this story except instead of Bloody Mary, he said it was Mrs. Butterworth. 😭😭😭😭 I believed this til high-school. My dad planted all kinds of little easter eggs throughout my childhood and was probably laughing the whole time.

[@EJPlays]

NOT MRS. BUTTERWORTH 😂

[@honestscriberelaxation9542]

I used the bus stop as a shed in a recent build after seeing it here. Your channel is so full of awesome ideas!

[@applezairaart]

I believed stuffed animals and toys would come to life, and some toys like a stuffed vampire my dad had in my closet and a clown on a swing across my room scared me the most if that were true.

[@brookeyfran]

"okay, that's it!" ..... "I'm gonna throw a trash bag down"

[@riotinmahpantss]

I love their little farm, so cute!! My title also includes Dad-Joking haha.

[@RosalindPlays]

I love farms so much!! This is so cute and matches such a unique theme ❤️

[@BrainclawVideo]

Hey there! I absolutely LOVE your dense builds. I've been working on my island for the last two years, but I don't have a ton of cool objects to place like you do. My island is so conventional and boring. My probably silly question is: how do you get so many freaking awesome objects (and numbers of the same object) to use in these builds? Do you buy everything? I never have the bells to get more than a few cool objects a week. Now that I am playing Happy Home Designer, I am slowly getting a few new objects per week, but you have like, thousands of amazing objects in your inventory. How do you get them all??? Thanks in advance, and keep on building!

[@EJPlays]

Oh not at all! I use treasure Islands, basically people on twitch will have hacked switches and generate a bunch of items for people to just come and take as they need! Definitely a life saver and after a year of playing the game "as it was intended" i figured I'd just let my creativity flow by removing that barrier!

[@vanguardshep]

I don't know if this is a super weird childhood thing, but I legit did not know reindeer are real animals until well into adulthood. Just thought they were made up for Christmas or something...

[@EJPlays]

Okay tbh I also thought that for a little while

[@atticusyarbrough9949]

when i was a little kid, i knew that gasoline came from dinosaurs, so i thought that gas stations were strategically built over dead dinosaurs and the gas was pumped directly out of the ground. this also meant that all cities were strategically built *around* the gas stations, because otherwise we wouldn't have any gas. i only learned this wasn't the case after repeatedly asking my mom what kinds of dinosaurs were underneath the various gas stations we went to

[@EJPlays]

This is simply adorable

[@LindsLovesHou]

The drag race fatigue is so real. I’m also still mad at rupaul for making me subscribe to THREE different streaming services just to watch it all

[@iMax_Experience]

EJ, “dad-joking fertilizer” (derogatory) 😂😂😂😂😂

[@adrianabad9125]

Omgg LOOVE Alamo. Just saw Scream 5 there a few days ago and the spiked hot chocolate with cookie served!

ooo... you might have just inspired me to go see scream there now....

[@stephie8870]

“I ate a spice brownie before” smh EJ! You crack me up 😂 🤣

[@CobraCreates]

I feel you so hard on the hating the act of eating thing. Like I love food. I really love food. But sometimes food sounds so ANNOYING

[@spacee.oddity]

I just started a new island and I got Ribbot as one of my starters abdehnjdjvstu- I’m never letting him leave Edit: 2:35 PaVe PArIdIse pUT UP a pArKiNG LOt

[@Iamtheforrestfire]

When I was younger I thought that if people cut my hair they had a crush on me. This was because a boy I had a wee ol' crush on cut my hair. So I just assumed everyone who had a crush on me did, so until middle school, I used to cry when someone I liked didn't cut my hair at all during the school year- [oh em gee 3 days later ! slayyy]

[@DhyanaKimie7365]

I hardcore relate to the late night eating 😂 my husband and I usually eat dinner no earlier than 10 or 11 pm lol I’m so happy we’re not the only ones! Also dumbest thing I believed as a kid was that Nutella was gross, because my classmates realized I was super gullible and tricked me into thinking their parents forced them to eat it. Not sure how I fell for that one because it’s literally chocolate lol

[@EJPlays]

Growing up we usually had dinner around 8pm or 9pm! I think it's something I got from my parents haha

[@qwitchyy]

“I have to eat myself, oh no!” I died

[@AprilHoney]

Very cute. I don't remember anything I believed as a channel but I answered the question. Lol

[@yzbyz5647]

didn’t understand organs and believed i just filled up with food from the bottom of my feet (??) to the top of my head. when i was 4/5, i used to put my hand at the top of my head to communicate “i’m full” at dinner.🙃

[@rosetyler8666]

I'm so so glad I came across your channel. I love your aesthetic, and you're very entertaining. Weirdest thing I believed as a child was that I wasn't actually human, but rather that my parent's real kid had been kidnapped by faeries and they had put a log desguised as a baby (me) in the baby's place. I also believed I was meant to die as an infant, but something went wrong with the magic and that's why I was stuck living a human life. Turns out I'm autistic lel

[@SebiHemke]

i get the "rpdr is problematic" and i agree but like.... its my trash... its like comfort food

[@skribbzz3881]

Just found your channel, and I love it! Just subscribed and shot ya a ko-fi. Have a lovely week and keep up the great work!🤠

[@EJPlays]

!! Thank you so much! That's so generous 🧡

[@cjsnana5268]

Really love this island concept! So out of my league honestly. I need trees lol. Enjoy the content and humor. I'm from the boogie man era

[@co_______co______________]

omg screaming my last movie theater experience before covid was also Cats and A Spicy Brownie and it was one of the best nights of my life

[@EJPlays]

spicy brownie is the only way to get through that movie....

[@OhSoUnicornly]

I had a lot of dry skin behind my ears that I would scratch at sometimes, but I thought it was the glue that held my ears onto my head and if I scraped it all away my ears would fall off.

[@EJPlays]

welll... keep your eyes out 👀

[@biscuit4658]

i believed that boogers was “old” brains… and that my parents were robots and my teddies would come alive at night. i was a paranoid kid for sure. i thought everything was out to end me.

[@BRiiBRii10]

I’m here for a breakdown of lost! 😅 doooooit EJ!

[@justadragonryu]

Completionist mindset is very relatable… yeah sure I’ll hoard whatever collectable possible, but I will never have them all because at the end of the day, I don’t give a shit.

[@EJPlays]

I'm all about that positive attitude, less about that ~follow through~

[@laylarenee4317]

i thought that north and south korea were in america up until the 4th grade

[@Flanuora]

I got that Lighthouse reference only because my partner 😅 personally, I can’t sit still for a movie unless I’m in a theater… so ya it’s been awhile 😵‍💫

[@clairek6068]

The weirdest thing I believed as a child - Every time you learned something you get a wrinkle in your brain.

[@emilyanderson9043]

Weirdest thing I believed as a child... there is so many I don’t even know where to start. I could literally write a book😅

[@beingintroubleisafakeidea]

EJ you are right and the ending of Lost IS GOOD and everyone just misunderstood it!!! I am still mad about this!!!

[@EJPlays]

THANK YOU!! Honestly this is really motivating me to make a video about Lost ngl

[@beingintroubleisafakeidea]

@@EJPlays Hahaha I would totally love a video about Lost! This is making me want to rewatch it now too

[@modernvalentine]

I feel the same about food/eating. I’ve learned it’s due to my ADHD. It’s not that I forget to eat, I forget to shop, prepare and cook meals. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[@EJPlays]

oh, this makes sense, I should have figured out it had something to do with ADHD

[@Mayhaps0502]

EJ!!!! Your island looks honestly so cool and detailed!! I love the theme!!! 😍 The farm side of the factory looks really awesome (well - everything looks awesome what am I saying) A thing I believed as a child 🤔 a ways into the wood behind our house is a pretty large oak, and due to a Lego audio book I was convinced that little lego people lifted in tiny fairy houses around the roots of it - the reason why I couldn't see them was that I was just not worthy enough :( Believed that from like age 5 to 6 or 7 lolol

[@kellyedwards421]

Everything you said about eating and food and cooking: Same

[@Just.a.girl-__-inaworld]

When I was little I used to believe that if I had a certain expression on my face for too long my face would be stuck like that forever! Lol I don't even know where I got that😭🤣

[@girlonthemove94]

I was in second grade and we had a high schooler come and read to our class. He read the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark book- long story short my mom had to cover/take down all the mirrors in our house because I was terrified. I literally thought those stories were real, I would wake up screaming bloody murder. Now I'm all into horror #characterdevelopment lmfao

[@norresnotlost]

perfect thing to watch after a long day at school

[@millebon]

I used to be convinced I had seen the easter bunny sneak in my room and disappear in my laundry basket.

[@Cloud9berries]

I liked lost too. Have you seen dark angel starring Jessica alba she's a queen in it

[@medikate899]

Weirdest thing I believed as a child? Carpet sharks. Seriously. I saw Jaws waaaay too young.

[@katlynbrown3548]

The island is lookin preety good but i haven't seen you use wheat fields on your island yet. LOL

[@Atlazuko]

I believed that santa claus was a burglar with that broke into your home at night to leave you presents. i was concerned by this deeply. my mom then told me he wasn't real which i was like thank god.

[@Enbyuprising]

Weirdest thing I believed as a child was that it was illegal to go to the store on Sunday because of the church I grew up in.

The weirdest thing i believed as a child is that toilets flush backwards south of the equator. That or gristle makes your hair shiny 😐
