Is water really wet?

@HelixSpiral If one water molecule is not wet then how does it suddenly become wet when bonded with another water molecule which is not wet by itself?

 

but is a hot dog a sandwich?

 

Finally, a good topic to discuss.

 

okie dokie, personally being wet is having water tension in contact with you, so skin, potatoes and the top of the lake, but only the top because that's the only place where water tension occurs on a body of water. Fish aren't considered wet because they are submerged in water and therefore have broken the water tension, however pull the same fish out of water and it will have water tension. Trust me I'm a scientist apparently and somehow are aloud to take biology, physics and chemistry as an A level.

 

@HelixSpiral https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg15320693-200-science-what-really-makes-water-wet/ check this out sir

 

Cool! So this answers what I was saying earlier and what I suspected. They didn't really address what makes water "wet" in this paper (note; I only read the article, not the paper- $35 paywall noty), but rather water makes water fluid.

 

Are you guys seriously still going even after literally having a satirical blog written about how pointless this is?

 

Oh shit a satirical blog wrote about something so now we literally can't discuss it anymore

Pack it up bois

 

why are people still commenting to this thread? You already got your answer. Water is wet yes.

 

@HelixSpiral but the paper explains that water doesn't act as a liquid until there are six molecules. doesn't that change the conclusion on if water is wet or not?

 

No, because that's not entirely true. It's addressing that water doesn't act fluid like a liquid until their are six molecules; the properties of water that make it 'wet' arn't addressed here- the adhesion/cohesive properties of water.

 

Is water water? That should be the true question

 

if water is wet, is ice also wet?

 

Quit grave digging old threads

 

as a man of ice, ice is also wet

 

Is lava wet

 

Lava is molten rock. Molten means "liquefied by heat". Lava is a liquid, therefore its wet.

 

what does wet even mean though

 

You've done it for threads too lol
