Is water wet?

[Wolfhuman]

"Definition of wet - consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (as water)"

 

"Wet is a condition, a state of being if you will, applied to an object. As the definition says it means to be soaked in liquid. If my shirt is covered in water, it is wet. If the street as rain water on it, it is wet. However, water cannot be wet. Water is the thing that makes things wet by covering it. The water itself is not wet as wet is the condition of being covered in water. Water cannot be covered in water as water is just water. Furthermore, water cannot be covered in any other liquid either as the liquids either separate or mix. But water itself cannot be wet.

Water is simply the H2O, three atoms that make up a molecule. It cannot itself be wet.

My opponent is clearly going to say that since water makes things wet it is wet but that is simply not true. Wetness only occurs when water encounters an object. It is a state of being applied to something else. If you just had water and no other objects in existence, water would not be wet as there would be nothing to be covered in said water and the water would just be perceived as water.

All of that being said, water is not wet"

 

LMAO, this made my day.

If I got given £1 Million for every time I read "water" or "wet" in that post..

 

Who would even look up the definition of wet anyway?

All I can say to that is

[RedDagger]

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/wet

 

 

 

3. Made up of liquid or moisture.

Water is wet.

 

Seems like it depends on definition you choose, eh?

 

Or http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/wet?q=wet

 

 

 

1covered or saturated with water or another liquid:

 

...with saturated:

 

 

 

1holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed; thoroughly soaked:

 

Which can fit, so if ya don't like wiktionary, the OED could back you up.

 

Look, you can even use the definition in the OP (from merriam-webster):

 

 

 

a : consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (as water)

 

Water consists of liquid - though if you disagree I'm inclined to figuratively punch you in the face.

Do I get any brownie points?

Who said that? I want solid, concrete, in your face, massive, rock hard evidence. Till then:

Who said that the sky is: "blue"?

 

"The sky is the layer of atmosphere under which we live, It is made up of several colorless gases. The gasses interact with the light coming from the sun to give the impression of colour.

 

The white light from the sun is a mixture of all colours of the spectrum. Each colour of light ahas a wavelengths. The visible part of the spectrum ranges from red light (wavelength =720 nm), to violet (wavelength =380 nm), with orange, yellow, green, blue and indigo between. The human eye reacts most strongly to strongly to red, green and blue wavelengths. This gives us colour vision."

Jack's not Black and Barry's not White.

 

Wait, where is this topic going?

[Wolfhuman]

Depends how you look at. I would say no, because he is brown. And if he was white then we wouldn't recognize the face since all the face features are then not visible. So we wouldn't know if his name is really: "Walter".

 

This is white:

Bruce Willis's character Joe Hollenbeck said that in The Last Boyscout.

 

When he said the sky is blue he obviously meant that he perceived the color of the light interacting with the atmosphere to be generally of a blue coloration. Which is sometimes indeed the case.

Just like the sky is blue post you're taking such a literal view of the wording that you end up being incorrect. I'm not sure honestly if it would be considered colloquial but it's certainly informal.

Surely that phrase is, at the very least, tautologous?

The real question is, is the poon wet? Or is this some sort of Shakespearean styled question?

The water is a transparent liquid that flows wherever the f*ck you want it to. Going with the laws of physics you have to be not wet to be wet so water will be wet when you will not be wet. If you rob a cactus you will get water because f*ck logic and then the cactus will be wet because it has not wet water in it. Water cannot be wet because it is wet but we don't realize it. So we have to have water, wet particles, people and a calculator. If you have this, you have to divide by zero in middle of a circle made by many people. Start dividing by zero so you will spawn an earthquake and a time portal which will spawn crazy raccoon guy and teleport you back to dinosaur era which you have to kill. This will create a massive time paradox that will spawn sh*t-ton of water and make everything wet, including the already existing water. If you put water on water, it will be also wet but the water is not wet already because wet is an entity that needs to be summoned before water can be wet.

 

Therefore, Water ≠ Wet

It is a bit of an incorrect question. Because If someone asked me that I'd say that water isn't wet, it makes things wet, the question is incorrect. Water is a liquid, and liquids make stuff wet.

 

It's like saying is fire dry? It's an incorrect question because even though the sun is a massive fire ball that causes dryness and heat in parts of the world (like the desert), fire itself isn't wet or dry, even though its existence can cause dryness to occur.

 

Now the existence of water will cause wetness to occur, but I don't see how water itself can be wet just because it makes stuff wet, the exact same way fire can't be dry even though it will make stuff dry.

 

There's not many things on Earth that can't be said to be either wet or dry, because most things that exist will only be one or the other, wet or dry (or in-between, damp).

 

But there are two things that can be neither wet nor dry, and those would be water, and fire, the causes of what makes something wet or dry. Since heat makes things dry, and any heat evident on Earth is caused by fire, which is the sun, which cannot be dry.

 

Bottom line is, water is a liquid, and liquid of any kind is not wet. It's a question that is wrong to even ask. The Earth has molten lava flowing within it which is a liquid, you cannot define lava as wet or dry can you? It's simply a liquid, same as water.

Is water wet if the water molecule is surrounded by other water molecules? So that water molecule becomes wet then?
