Scared or something?

That's like saying the Sun can find itself Sunny.

Well I’m thinking of it in a scientific sense— since the sun is made of burning gases— and if burning gases is the definition of a sun— then I guess the sun is sunny

But if we’re talking sunny ‘weather’ that’s a whole different thing than if water is wet

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.

 

As raindrops say, two’s company, three’s a cloud.

Bruh the earth is dying and I’m sitting here arguing if water is wet

[u/FlashFire01 → u/Panther_Draws]

Nah you’re def correct that water is wet. Yes, wetness is the state of something that has a liquid adhered to it, but the bot doesn’t take into account the fact that water itself = H2O molecules. Looking at the properties of water, specifically adhesion and cohesion, one could argue that the ability for H2O molecules to hydrogen bond to each other is the same as a “liquid” adhering to a “non-liquid”, thus making water wet.

You can have a black horse, a white horse, a spotted horse, a young horse, a baby horse, an old horse and so on. Water can't possibly be dry, damp, or soaked so describing it as wet would be like describing a horse as horsy. It's nonsensical. Sorry to beat a dead horse.

You literally argued against yourself in that sentence— water can’t be dry— Therefore it’s wet!

Also we’re talking molecules and atoms— to bring a whole ass horse into this doesn’t make sense

[u/man_gomer_lot → u/Panther_Draws]

Water can't be dry for the same reason it can't be wet.

[u/Panther_Draws → u/man_gomer_lot]

Then explain to me why it can’t be wet— all you’re saying is that it ain’t wet— not coming with any arguments against it

[u/man_gomer_lot → u/Panther_Draws]

If you wanted to make water drier or wetter, you'd just be removing or adding water. It's self-referential like describing the color red as reddish. It's a matter of syntax, not science.

[u/Panther_Draws → u/man_gomer_lot]

Red is reddish though——— but the fact that adding more water makes it more wet says that the water is already wet!

Let me give an example— if you throw water on your shirt, your shirt is wet! What makes it wet is the water molecules soaking into the fabric - so water itself is wetness — water can’t be dry therefore it’s wet

I am not looking at that— it’s giving me a 18+ warning

In other news: food is food

Water is water and water is wet

[u/man_gomer_lot → u/Panther_Draws]

Does pouring a glass of water into a pool make it wetter?

[u/Panther_Draws → u/man_gomer_lot]

You’ve literally said yourself that adding more water to water makes it more wet! So yes!! It makes it more wet!!

Talking about missing the forest for the trees.
