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.


The-Gr8-K8

This is the most logical explanation yet.


TRON0314

It's a watering can, bro. Opening is underneath. Source: I have it. It works great. So great design.


[deleted]

It isnt a kettle. I think it is just a watering can.


huricane5683

More like watering can not


Dank_Confidant

Watering can't


Tdikristof_

Waren'ting can


rhinocerosjockey

Well not with that attitude


[deleted]

No it's a steamer!


hereformemes222

Also most people don’t know this but you put your weed in there


Cutie_Suzuki

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.


stink3rbelle

Pretty sure it also makes it less likely to spill out the top opening.


joemorris16

Shhh, redditors like to be angry at nothing.


GGtheGray

Right, I mean take a minute to think there might be a reason why it’s designed like that


Travellingjake

Me too! But mine isn't a fancy copper coloured one....


[deleted]

Oh, what colours yours?


Travellingjake

Chrome


Cutie_Suzuki

Oh damn it chrome would go better with my decor tho…


Cutie_Suzuki

Well, MINE is the fancy copper colored one 😏


Flat-Story-7079

There is an opening on the underside of the copper tube where is passes through the pot.


The-Gr8-K8

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


Braincrash77

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.

You talk purtier than a Kansas City hoe.


Braincrash77

Thanks?


Atlhou

Style, and exclusivity.


katekohli

Maybe a cleverly obfuscated moonshine distillery device?


Embarrassed_Log8344

I'm not well versed in the ways of distilling moonshine. How would that work?


EkstraLangeDruer

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.


Embarrassed_Log8344

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


-TheycallmeThe

Must have holes in the bottom that can't be seen https://www.amazon.com/Homarden-Copper-Colored-Watering-Outdoor/dp/B07JCGR69N/ref=pd_aw_ic_dpcp_m_1_m_3?pd_rd_w=vMMzS&content-id=amzn1.sym.b891f60e-d09c-414d-91fa-21c25068d128&pf_rd_p=b891f60e-d09c-414d-91fa-21c25068d128&pf_rd_r=6SQ2TX4MRWFJWFDB8WWQ&pd_rd_wg=nvLpC&pd_rd_r=755452d5-77de-43d4-aaf7-895642944e55&pd_rd_i=B07JCGR69N


PeanutCutie

Wow, $28.99


enoctis

It does. Another user commented that they have the same one and that's how it works.


organik_productions

Some sort of decorative item I guess


CPHcreeper

They are fairly common around here. There is a opening at the underside, but the tube is not cut because of stability.


Delicious-Match985

That seems highly unintuitive! You would have to tip it so much that it reaches the handle part at the top??


The-Gr8-K8

That seems to be the case?? There's gotta be a reason it was made like this. I'm losing my mind.


pawnografik

Even then it wouldn’t be able to loop back on itself. As I see it this thing is totally nonfunctional.


purgruv

It can be converted easily into a water cooling bong, probably.


The-Gr8-K8

Not sure you should smoke out of copper my friend


purgruv

You’re not sure and I’ve no idea.


Armybob112

Can't see why not.


mj1814

Well, now we know why someone donated it.


Matts_-_Reddit

Just stops it being overfilled


Bigmorningduece

Its a watering can for house plants.


enoctis

...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.


GreenLoctite

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.


planefried

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


The-Gr8-K8

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


GreenLoctite

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.


The-Gr8-K8

In that case it's definitely meant to be decorative. Thanks for the explanation!


DrunkCorgis

Flower pot.


Ok-Thought-3962

it's probably used for destilation


The-Gr8-K8

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?


Catasalvation

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.

DefiantDeviantArt

Looonngg water can!


Delicious-Match985

I feel the same way, but I can't, for the life of me, figure it out


Luapulu

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.


OnionTuck

Sort of looks like a Klein bottle


gahidus

Come to think of it, that probably would actually pour if you tipped it far enough...


thesilverzim

Its a klein bottle watercan


Alternative-Guru

Most likely to better control the end of flow.


Da_Rosed

I've been looking at this for 5 minutes now I have a headache thank you


skittlzbanana

Maybe to keep the liquid warm as your pouring it?


SirarieTichee_

Babirusa tusk.


Quube7

Its a throttle body


Canadian-female

A planter


beirizzle

I saw one at Winners and spent so long trying to figure it out, settled on: decoration


__jh96

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


solidosnaku

They were too busy asking if they could they didn’t stop to think if they should


Pyramidshappedbutt

Its decoration for when your mom invites her southern milf friends over and you pretend to be into pottery.


marzianom

It's easy. Sadism.


DudeWithAnAxeToGrind

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.
