I have one for you, professional taunters. They were used to mock the enemy armies and most often didn't carry weapons.

It's horrifying to imagine children, instead of playing, crawling beneath massive spinning machines just to collect stray cotton fibers. My heart aches for them

Knowing that jobs like the Gong Farmer existed makes the mortality rates from back then make a lot more sense.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XitlM4yGCaI&t=378">6:18</a> If memory serves this was in no small part also due to the fact that coal has significant amounts of venadium, which when burned at a high enugh temp generates vanadium pentoxide. Vanadium pentoxide, is hella toxic/carcinogenic and bioaccumulates in the testes. The effects are worse if the exposure is prepubescent. TLDR: Chemistry matters, and child labor is bad
