Water Stomping Line?

I can't tell because the video is too short for me to get a good look, but I've seen something similar in an ancient bathhouse to cool super-heated geothermal water for bathing. Like stirring and blowing on soup before eating, people more or less stir large amounts of water to cool it just enough for a good mineral soak.

Look up Yumomi.

Awesome. I don't think that's what's going on here, but I love Japan.

Going by the tops of the boards, I reckon they’re rinsing fabric that’s secured to the bottom.

Much clearer version here is on Tiktok. Those drying racks do look like bolts of fabric now.

p.s. By the way "Vecotoy" seems to be only harvesting videos and reposting them.

what's that on the drying racks that the men are managing in the background?

This is a good idea and I've been trying to find a way to verify this

Why is every comment removed?

If I had to guess, probably people either making sexual innuendos or racist comments.

Nobody has any serious answers and everyone is just posting "jokes"
"water boarding lol"
"water softener lol"
etc
11
That’s fair enough. It just gets to the point though where every comment is removed and I spend more time trying to find any answer, funny or not, than reading anything at all so I just leave the thread

This sub isn't supposed to be funny.

there is literally a rule for jokers
If you are going to be a joker, troll, etc keep it out of the top-level comments.
funny how the top comments always end up being jokes

funny how the top comments always end up being jokes
Yeah that's why they always end up getting removed. That's what this whole "why are all the comments deleted?" thread is about

No fun, ever.

I think they're making clay for pottery, softening and hydrating it. Looks like the white stuff in the river is the "before" state.
18
Any idea on how to verify? Fabric on the boards seems like just as likely
4
I don't know what to make of any of this. Is that a temple in the background? What are the white things in both sides of the waterway?
15
From the stupas it appears this is outside a Buddhist temple somewhere in the Himalayas. A lot of times people do repetitive things outside the temples (counting mala beads, pacing, bowing etc) as a form of practice. I would guess that this is a source of holy water from somewhere that they are repeatedly touching/agitating for the same reason. Most appear to be elderly, the contraptions may be there to help them touch the water without having to bend over.
edit: here is an article from Bhutan (where this video very well could be from) talking about holy water- "Others, however, are blessed water, such that it is beneficial to people to take a dip. This is the case for the naturally occurring hot springs in the northernmost district of Gasa, which are said to have been blessed by Guru Rinpoche and can help cure ailments physical, mental, and spiritual."

The video made me think of prayer wheels, so this explanation seems likely.

I can’t say what they’re doing, but from the architecture and their clothes this looks like it’s in Tibet
10
This is what I'm wondering. The hats and clothes should be some clue. In terms of race, we only get a full-face look at persons # 2 and #3 and they look central-to-east Asian to me. The hat on guy #3 is pretty characteristic in a way that someone ought to be able to identify, as opposed to the wide brimmed hats that could be from anywhere. I've tried googling hat styles for Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Thailand, monk, buddhist, etc. So far no joy but maybe someone here knows that hat style as a starter clue. And maybe that particular plaid/pattern he's got there on his blanket/skirt/pants/whatever could be characteristic of an area too. Looks like another person midway down the line has something similar. The people in the background, two of them have long skirts with some other garment hanging down the butt in two strips, so that's probably characteristic of somewhere specific. That temple in the background looks like Chinese architecture but I don't know if that spread more widely.

I agree, they're probably in Nepal/Bhutan/Tibet, clothes are too thick to be in Cambodia as I originally thought. The TikTok link shows their faces are not Cambodian. But hats like that are frequently worn in Cambodia...https://imgur.com/a/hqJHxtE

Water purification system

This looks like Cambodia (by the clothing), not Thailand but could be a type of manual water aeration like this https://www.au.edu/royal-activities/the-chaipattana-aerator.html

I can't believe I know this. Look at the boards and the black dots on top of them. Those are oysters that have been slightly opened and had a peice of sharp placed inside. The oysters make pearls when there is an irritant inside so these are live oysters tied down to wood, slightly open, and being forced to suck up sand to make pearls that can then be sold.
6
. . . oyster beaters?
2
You definitely know what's going on, but if you hadn't gone into detail, I would have doubted you, having seen a documentary on how black pearls are cultured, and it looked a lot more clinical.
Where is this being done?
2
That I don't know. I don't have a clue where this is but I did a super deep dive on forced cultured pearls when I was looking to buy a nice necklace of them. It's barbaric the way they are cultured and it turned me off of pearls forever.
To think we force a tiny little shell critter to be tormented to get something Shiney from them makes me very uneasy.

Looks similar to a jumbo board for cockling
5
I googled 'cockling' and got mixed results...
Nobody cockles where I'm from. What is it?
2
Gathering cockles, they're kind of like scallops but they live in wet sand instead of open water.

I do know the Molly Malone song, but I've never seen any. Lived in all the US Pacific states except Alaska.

I know of a similar practice of beating flipping water in hot springs to cool down water to bathing temperature maybe this is something similar
The water looks quite dirty tho
It just looks like this at first glance. It seems to be completely clear, but it runs in an extremely shallow, brown canal.
Oh yes, I forgot about the color Extreme Brown
Brown doesn't even exist
Been googling to try and verify. Any sources on this that might show a similar supply line?
Hey sorry for the late reply but here it is The technique is calledyumomi and it is a bit different to what is depicted in the video but it was the only similar thing i know of
