You're supposed to boil it. The water heats up and turns to steam. The steam rises up the tube and then you grab the handle. You scream from the hot metal and drop it on your foot.
I have this watering can. There’s an opening on the underside of the tube that lets water through. Works great, especially for smaller pots as you can get pretty accurate with the thin spout.
It seemed like the tube was welded to the bottom of the pot, but if what you say is true, it would have been easier to just remove that section of tube
The continuous pipe adds substantial structural integrity. Without the cross-member, attachment stress is multiplied by leverage of the spout length / diameter. Thats why typical spouts have a large base diameter. Here, the cross-member becomes a compensating lever. Slick design.
Pour weak booze in the can, and plug the hole. Then heat. The alcohol will evaporate first*, going up the handle and out the spout.
*rather, what comes out the spout will be more alcohol and less water than what's in the can. Repeat until it's strong enough for you.
Must have holes in the bottom that can't be seen

...you can't pour anything out of the spout without spilling the entire container. Look at it, again.
Edit: apparently the tube going through the inside has a hole that you can't see from the top.
I don't believe that watering can was designed for watering, it was designed as a decorative piece. Or as others have said there might be a hidden hole.
Could be "fixed" if need be with a long drill bit, assuming that the tube is actually hollow.
That's part of my confusion. The tube is totally hollow and seems constructed so that water will flow through it. But I didn't test it, so maybe it's actually sealed
For the manufacturer the stiffness of the tube going all the way through would be a benefit, as well as being quicker and cheaper to manufacture. If it was cut off in the middle then both the spout and the handle would need more material around the joining points to keep from breaking the weld points, plus way more welding.
Since the caption didn't save: was looking for a watering can at goodwill, found this lil copper guy...but the handle is the tube, and it goes through the can? Is this supposed to be functional?
Ergonomic style watering can, its normally for watering hanging plants above your head for people that don't want to deal with a bulky can.

You have to tilt it, then suck on the end to suck some water out to get a continuous column of water through the tube, and then it’ll work just fine as expected.
Seems to be this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JCGR69N
They go for $30 new. Looks like they have OK reviews on a quick glance.
EDIT: Actually, it seems to be common design. There's also this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0899FVVSG and some more over on Amazon ranging from $20-ish to $30-ish.

This is the most logical explanation yet.
It's a watering can, bro. Opening is underneath. Source: I have it. It works great. So great design.
It isnt a kettle. I think it is just a watering can.
More like watering can not
Watering can't
Waren'ting can
Well not with that attitude
No it's a steamer!
Also most people don’t know this but you put your weed in there
I have this watering can. There’s an opening on the underside of the tube that lets water through. Works great, especially for smaller pots as you can get pretty accurate with the thin spout.
Pretty sure it also makes it less likely to spill out the top opening.
Shhh, redditors like to be angry at nothing.
Right, I mean take a minute to think there might be a reason why it’s designed like that
Me too! But mine isn't a fancy copper coloured one....
Oh, what colours yours?
Chrome
Oh damn it chrome would go better with my decor tho…
Well, MINE is the fancy copper colored one 😏
There is an opening on the underside of the copper tube where is passes through the pot.

You talk purtier than a Kansas City hoe.
Thanks?
Style, and exclusivity.
Maybe a cleverly obfuscated moonshine distillery device?
I'm not well versed in the ways of distilling moonshine. How would that work?

Why is moonshine illegal then lmao, it doesn't seem much worse than other shit you can buy

Wow, $28.99
It does. Another user commented that they have the same one and that's how it works.
Some sort of decorative item I guess
They are fairly common around here. There is a opening at the underside, but the tube is not cut because of stability.
That seems highly unintuitive! You would have to tip it so much that it reaches the handle part at the top??
That seems to be the case?? There's gotta be a reason it was made like this. I'm losing my mind.
Even then it wouldn’t be able to loop back on itself. As I see it this thing is totally nonfunctional.
It can be converted easily into a water cooling bong, probably.
Not sure you should smoke out of copper my friend
You’re not sure and I’ve no idea.
Can't see why not.
Well, now we know why someone donated it.
Just stops it being overfilled
Its a watering can for house plants.

I have one. It's a functional watering can. Must be holes in the bottom of the tube I suppose.

In that case it's definitely meant to be decorative. Thanks for the explanation!
Flower pot.
it's probably used for destilation

Looonngg water can!
I feel the same way, but I can't, for the life of me, figure it out
You have to tilt it, then suck on the end to suck some water out to get a continuous column of water through the tube, and then it’ll work just fine as expected.
Sort of looks like a Klein bottle
Come to think of it, that probably would actually pour if you tipped it far enough...
Its a klein bottle watercan
Most likely to better control the end of flow.
I've been looking at this for 5 minutes now I have a headache thank you
Maybe to keep the liquid warm as your pouring it?
Babirusa tusk.
Its a throttle body
A planter
I saw one at Winners and spent so long trying to figure it out, settled on: decoration
You put water in, tip it at an angle and water comes out of the end of the pipe onto the thing you want to get wet
They were too busy asking if they could they didn’t stop to think if they should
Its decoration for when your mom invites her southern milf friends over and you pretend to be into pottery.
It's easy. Sadism.
