water is not wet

[kerfuffle]

Hello, I have an announcement to make. Whoever is the owner of the white sedan in the west parking lot, you are blocking the fire exit; please move.

also... water isn't wet. Please argue with me on this:

1) Water is not wet because it also cannot be dry, and a thing can only be capable of something if it is also capable of being the opposite.

2) Apparently "wet" means the presence of water which apparently means that water is wet.... however, if we isolate a water molecule, that would prevent it from being wet because it isn't dissolved in other water molecules.

semantics.
ok i'm in!

how about we define wet as: covered/soaked with water or another liquid. a single molecule can't be wet because it's not a collective liquid, and so it can't be "covered" or "soaked" by itself.

The question then is, can water be wet if it's wetting itself? Is the shallow water of the ocean wetting the deeper water of the ocean?

Maybe 'wet' only describes a property a liquid might apply to something else. So water isn't wet, but what it touches is.

I win?

1)Ice is water, ice can be wet.
2)Wet does not have to be water it can be any liquid, so if you put say oil on water the water is wet.
3)"Drying is a mass transfer process consisting of the removal of water or another solvent by evaporation from a solid, semi-solid or liquid" to dry is to transfer the state of something from wet to dry, you can dry other liquid from water, therefore before the drying the water was wet.


far fetched arguments:
4)http://www.dictionary.com/browse/wet
"in a liquid form or state:"
"wet paint"
5)"something that is or makes wet, as water or other liquid"
6)"a person in favor of allowing the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages"
most of an human is water, so a person=water

The phrase 'water is not wet' is not supposed to be taken literally, because it's an idiom. You lose.

 

[Black Rose]

In the matrix wetness is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.

There is no spoon, there is no wetness.

Statistically speaking, most water isn't wet.

Most water is frozen in space. Ice isn't wet.

The common misunderstanding that water is wet is just a sampling bias.

But you are confusing their forms.

ice is solid is not water
water is liquid
steam is gas, not water

Water is neither gas nor solid. The molecule in aggregate is only liquid when conditions are met. Saying most water is ice (a solid) is like saying water is the dominant label which it is not. But steam is just as good a label as water and ice is just as good a label as water, representing H2O.

Ice is not water
Steam is not water
Ice, Steam and Water are H2O.

You cannot arbitrarily say H2O is water because it is also Ice and Steam.

The Ice is space is not water (a Liquid) Ice in space is H2O.

Sampling amounts of H2O we get majority Ice > Then Water > Then Steam

H2O is said to be wet when it is a liquid.
Stop using "water" as the dominant label for H2O.
Ice in space is not water, it is H2O.
Liquids are not solids

Ouch ouch ouch I just got my arse smacked badly.

Ice is solid water, is water.
Water is other name for h2o in all states.

 

[Grayman]

Water is other name for h2o in all states.

It depends on the national language of that state. In Mexico it is called agua, I think.

 

[Ex-User (14663)]

So basically, I can walk on water. After all, I can walk on ice.

I am Jesus, bitches.

Son I know you are all raised up but please just refrain from using such language around your mother and sisters in Christ, amen.

You forgot about snow and other forms of precipitation that is technically H2O.

Ice is solid water, is water.
Water is other name for h2o in all states.

Which raises an interesting question. Is yellow snow water? What about acid rain? What about chocolate rain?

 

[TAC]

What about chocolate rain?

These are the questions that need asking
As my grandfather use to ask when I was swimming, "How's the water, is it wet?" I mostly said no, but I was also like 5 years old didn't pay much mind to it. Now I realize how profound my insights were in those days.
