Defos! It something that really takes YEARS of almost daily practise to get good at. I mostly do it for fun, or if I want cup or something... or if someone I know wants a cup (or something). I can't hold a candle to people like the lady in the link, or probably anyone that uploads videos of themselves doing pottery lol. So far I can maybe get a good cup or two every 8 hours where-as professionals can make hundreds in the same amount of time. The skill gap is INSANE.

It's good to know your limits, but IMHO there are virtually no limits to creativity. I took a few pottery courses in uni and the teacher knew a lot of us didn't really think of ourselves as "creative types" (many enrolled in it as an elective), so she always told is to "fake it till you make it". I think it's really awesome that you pretended to make air-dry sculptures, and I think you should keep pretending! It doesn't matter what they look like, it's something you made and you should be proud of it (screw anyone who tells you to give up).

I use all the plastic bags I get from the grocery store (fruit & vegg, bread, etc.) to keep my pottery projects from drying out too fast. This is especially important when pieces have really thin parts. They would crack if I just let them to dry without something to cover them.

Ah, yes. I remember the OP on reddit. I wonder if the original can ever be found again, or if we will forever have to use the ifunny.com watermarked version.

A) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. Eventually use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution and try to repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

B) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone and multi-tool; use my wide, but mostly shallow knowledge on many subjects to start a scientific revolution that will hopefully help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

C) Assimilate with the local people and probably be fine. With the help of my smartphone, multi-tool, and various technology examples of the common era, start a scientific revolution that will likely help repel the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists.

In any of these scenarios, I would try to warn people about the Spanish-colonial shithead christo-fascists that are coming to fuck their shit.
