It's an 80l trash can.
The inverted lid has small holes drilled in them and act as the rain collector.
Two more pairs of holes, at the edge of the lid and into the container, together with some string keep the lid from blowing away.

Do you have to be right or can you just be semi confident in your English correcting abilities?
Oh jeez, definitely the latter.
Now I’m picturing a bunch of exasperated English teachers in Asia. They’re drinking after spending yet another class arguing with students who have been getting crowdsourced “advice” from a bunch of internet strangers that never got more than a ‘C’ in English class. It’s okay though, those internet strangers are a mix of people who are really into anime and/or fetishize Asian women. Super trustworthy bunch
In all seriousness the feedback is actually pretty good for the most part. When someone does give a shitty correction it’s usually called out. It’s been quite helpful in developing my Japanese as well (I’m one of the anime people). The biggest draw is that they have voice rooms where you can practice speaking with native speakers who are trying to learn your native language. That is extremely helpful and has improved my pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary far more than Anki or any textbook. Those are excellent resources, especially to get started, but they tend to be overly formal and ignore colloquial speech. I sound much more normal now.
I am sure it collects a crazy amount of data and it desperately tries to monetize every part of the app, but it’s been the one of the most helpful tools in learning outside of actual in person classes or social connections.
