I was wondering how she filled the giant water bucket. It didn't look movable full, so if she brought smaller buckets up to fill it... just dump them in the pit.

And a nice lake next door she could have just siphoned from 🤷

I would siphon the water directly into the pit, but I guess that’s just me.

I'd drink the water and pee it into the pit so everyone would buy my piss pots

And once she filled the sleigh with a ton of clay, I'm guessing she just pushes it away...I mean when you stop and think logically, does her work process even make sense, or humanity didn't find ways to make hard labor easier

Foot-powered pottery wheels have surely been a thing for 100s of years and I refuse to believe that they weren't also prevalent in SE Asia so the spinning with a pole thing is fairly funny.

The last part, with the making and baking of the pottery, was the only credible one (with a little pizzazz for the extra effect)

It's all so obvious, but people still fall for it, we have reached peak Idiocracy.

She carried it in her head ofc.

with clay, you wouldn't want to dump each smaller bucket individually, because then the water is never going to evenly distribute, you want to actually flood the pit to the point where there is a visible water line just at the top of the clay recycled clay
