You fucking idiots. Real ones know wetness is how much vermouth it has in it.

Churchill apocryphally liked his martinis so dry that he would observe the bottle of vermouth while pouring the gin, and that was enough
I'd like a proper wet and dirty one right now, gawddamn
Police. Yeah I'd like to report a murder.
Good luck finding the body, that lake never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
Yes but water touches itself. Abortion ain't murder though.
I'd still argue water molecules touching eachother make themselves wet, but that guy is an ass so fuck him.
actually water molecules are cohesive (attracted to each other, yes in that sense you are right) but wetness is associated with adhesion which basically means the possibility of a liquid to adhere to a solid surface so no, water molecule themselves alone are not enough to fit into the definition of wetness i hope i wasnt too technical but i tried to be as dummy as possible
Nevermind what his view on abortion is. Why does he have to start something on a post about womens rights unless he thinks they should not have rights?
That is outstanding.
Just wait till lakes home pull up..
Burnt by water, ouch!
Lake Superior used Scald!
The irony of this statement—for any one who’s ever been in Lake Superior—is immense.
Critical hit! It's super effective!
I had no idea that a lake could be so saucy with the comebacks. Glad to hear that it lives up to its name.

Getting into a political argument with a lake account. The lake account using 1st person language as Lake Superior.
Our ancestors would marvel at our reality!

A single molecule of water is not wet but as soon as more then one molecule is present the water is then wet. That is my hill to die on in this argument.
A single drop has over 1.5 sextillion molecules (21 zeroes), so yeh even a single drop is wet, debates over cuz allow it.

Wwweeeeeeeellllllll see, water is also touching itself constantly. Something being wet is a material surrounded by water, like the fibers of a sponge surrounded by water, in example.
In water, every water molecule is surrounded by water molecules. This means every given water molecule can be considered wet. And thus water is wet.
no, if water was just hydrogens yes but no because then its no longer water but with the oxygen the water molecules are not exactly touching each other plus the definition of wetness is about the adhesion (liquid to solid surface contact) and water is cohesive (attracted to each other)
Something being wet is a material surrounded by water
So if I set my hand in water it's not wet because it's not immersed? What if it's not water?
Can other liquids be wet? If I dump water into a bucket of gasoline, is my gasoline wet?
If I mix a soluble powder into water, like sugar, do I have wet sugar or sugared water?
Do they have to be in contact? Is a phone in a bag in water wet because it's surrounded by water, or dry because there's air between it and the water?
What about those hydrophobic materials that can be dunked in water and come out dry?
What about non-liquid phases of water? Is steam wet? If I dump water on ice is there a difference in how wet it is?
The common colloquial definition of "wet" is "to be touched by a liquid". The scientific is for a liquid to displace a gas to maintain contact with a surface via intramolecular forces. Water becomes a better wetter if we add soap because it no longer tries to bind to itself instead of what it's wetting.
Neither of these has the water itself being wet, but you can have "wet ice".
Let's not pretend that a more scientific sounding colloquial definition is actually more scientific.
- Maybe. You are made mostly of water, so I don't see why lot.
- Same logic applies to liquids that aren't water.
- Gasoline being wet is an actual term, though.
- Yes, you have wet sugar. The sugar has just become reeeaaaally really small.
- The phone is dry. The bag it's in is moist.
- If those materials are so scared of water, they shouldn't be near water.
- Steam has air between it. It's dry or moist. Ice is just water holding g hands.
you're right about this
“to be touched by a liquid”
but its more of a simple definition however if you went more technical by biology and chemistry laws, wetness is about adhesion (liquid to solid surface contact) and water is cohesive (attracted to each other) but if you want to get reallyyyy into it you might tell me about mercurium, have you seen mercurium? because its freaking cool btw chemistry ftw

the reason why mercurium wont wet things is because its cohesion is stronger than its adhesion, so any liquid that happens to be like this, this is why
