What's the weirdest Help Wanted Quest you've gotten?

[nicodeux]

The wiki says that if any kind of milk, or cookies, is placed on a table, something does happen during the night between Winter 24 and Winter 25. Haven't tried it myself though.

Today, I learned.

I need to try this then, I might have one farm that is in Winter.

Best part: Clint doesn't like diamonds!

clearly that's because he's trying to sleep on them.

I tried it and it seemed that Santa Claus, in addition to flying through the shipping screen, was quite happy with what I left for him. On Winter 25th morning, the cookies were replaced by a gift.

I've never heard of this secret before, but I guess it was added in update 1.6 with the mystery boxes.

Pierre running low on Joja Cola and he wants more

The one, when Haley asks only the Girls for, was it Sea Cucumber? And says, you know what it's for? Didn't make a Screenshot so far, but I got it every now and then...

I've had her ask for winter root, snow yam, corn, and other stuff, with that wink-wink nudge-nudge phrasing.

Nearly any request from Haley. Depending on the farmer's sex, she either specifies that she 'needs' a handsome young man to bring her said item or that it's for 'girls only' and only explains the need for said item with 'you know what for'. In either case, the item seems to be randomly generated so it never makes any sense for her want someone of that specific sex to deliver said item.

Harvey also has some odd ones. At least everyone else wanting to rub assorted sore body parts with unusual items could be chalked up to local cultural remedies, but why is a doctor rubbing anchovies on his sore gums or using a topaz for his sore foot?

Jodi has also asked me for green algae to use in a curry she's making several times. She's asked for a lot of ingredients for hurry that gave me pause, but that one always stands out to me. This explains why her sons get so excited about receiving food.

Well… I know it's Willy, who's a fisherman crazy for fishes but... c'mon, fish for a dessert??

Looking to dissect Joja Cola. Please deliver to Demetrius at 24 Mountain Road.

Just... How?

Electrophoresis?

Well, anecdotal evidence is a thing, and George is his patient. I once had a doctor tell me to take CoQ10 for a potentially lethal statin side effect, and when I asked him if there had been any clinical studies on that, he said "I've had patients tell me that it worked." He stopped being my doctor. Harvey, at least, reads medical journals in his spare time.

 

[Terdin]

Electrophoresis?

Then it would've been better for him to write that he wanted to analyze it, considering his tendency to prefer accurate terminology. Dissection is done with a scalpel or other sharp blade, to look at the anatomy of something, at least to my knowledge.

that’s so sus

Also, one time Demetrius posted a help wanted for the overpopulation of the large mouth bass, but I literally just spent the entire day with my bait maker catching large mouth bass.

Yeah must be really overpopulated.

This one made me laugh, because it seemed so out of character.

Need Rainbow Trout to serve at my afternoon tea party
-Alex

Alex of all people holds afternoon tea parties? That's a side of him I haven't seen before. I really hope the fish would be served up as topping on sandwiches or something, because sashimi or trout soup would make it more of a dinner party than a tea party.
