Here’s my issue with the whole water is wet argument. Many that side with water is wet use that a single water molecule touching another single water molecule makes the water wet. But wetness doesn’t just talk about water molecules and applies to literally ANY liquid substance. (Most have water molecules in them) but if you were to put your hand in melted iron (ignoring that your hand is probably burning off if you actually did this) when you took your hand out it would be considered wet despite no water being present. So just water having the ability to make something wet isn’t considering actual rules of chemistry and a bunch of other complicated boogaloo. Wetness is defined as “the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material.” Water doesn’t adhere to itself because that’s a whole different definition entirely called cohesiveness. Which is literally just liquid preferring to stick with liquid of the same substance. “Cohesive forces are attractive forces within the liquid that cause the molecules in the liquid to prefer to stick together.” What makes something wet is a ratio balance between cohesiveness and adhesion. If the adhesion is greater than the cohesiveness then it becomes wet. But if cohesiveness is greater than adhesion then it’s actually dry. Which water has EXTREMELY strong cohesiveness so water is actually dry and not wet. scienceline.ucsb.edu/getkey.php?key=6097
How the hell did you go from "Wetness is defined as “the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, " and then arrive at "Water doesn’t adhere to itself, thus it's not wet?" By the first definition you just gave, water has wetness because it's a liquid that adheres to a surface...and then you just completely forgot that water is a liquid that sticks to things in the next sentence and called it dry.
@@myau9912, it adheres to other things, but what determines if a liquid is dry or wet is the ratio between adhesion and cohesion. If it is more adhesive than it is cohesive then it would be wet. If it is more cohesive than adhesive it is not wet. Water is much much more cohesive than it is adhesive, if you've ever watched water roll down a window you'd notice that while yes it is sticking to the window it is following the same path as the water droplet before it that had left some water in its trail. Sometimes it breaks off and then hits a dry spot on the window before getting back on the "water trail" but this is because the droplet gets to heavy and loses its tension. (Something that is an entirely different subject)
@@unstoppable6249 Good thing wetness has different levels then. Though I dont know why the fuck Im wasting time arguing with someone who says water is dry.
OBJECTION! Since the surface molecules are touching water... *points finger* IT IS STILL WET! The example given by the defense is faulty because it ignores the fact that the inner molecules of the mug and the outer molecules of the mug are different. So, while only certain sides of the mug are wet, the entire molecules of those surfaces are also wet, just like the surface water molecules! Edit: After a long debate with BeelzebubFailure, we have come to an agreement. The following is a conclusion that we have both agreed upon, and that I feel sums up the debate well: Water, by itself and as a single molecule, is not intrinsically wet. It has no property that can make itself wet. However, water in the presence of other water molecules, given there is enough to consider some molecules as covered, those covered molecules become wet.
HOLD IT! The definition given by the prosecution asserts that to be considered "wet" the object has to be "covered or saturated with water or another liquid". Since the water molecules are in contact with air they cannot be fully covered in other water molecules. True the inside of the mug is wet, but that doesn't mean that the mug in its entirety is wet!
@@Dctr-mg8km HOLD IT! If the mug was underwater, there would be little to no air to separate the mug from the water, and ALL of the mug would be wet. Therefore, the water from the inside of the mug touches the water from the outside of the mug, making it W E T.
Well, if you say that the existence of a gap means they are not touching, then nothing is, therefore nothing can be wet. However, it should be obvious that what is commonly referred to as touching is, in fact, electron repulsion. Therefore, water molecules were indeed touching each other.
This comment started out as a random comment, but I actually ended up coming up with a solid conclusion. So, if you want to read the TL;DR, it's there at the end. I suggest those who do read through my bullshit to read the TL;DR too, since I made one minor tweak to my conclusion. I'm very confident in my conclusion. I came here with the opinion that water isn't wet and it just makes other things wet, but came out thinking water is wet because it's making itself wet, but a singular water molecule on its own isn't wet. Wait a sec... Ok ok wait. Water itself isn't wet. It's other water that makes it wet. Then again, wetness is a quality of an object that isn't provided by itself, but by another substance, specifically a liquid. When I hold a wet object, it isn't the object itself that makes it wet, nor the liquid, it's the fact that the liquid is touching the object. In this case, you would call the object wet, but not the liquid wet. Technically, that doesn't bar the liquid from ever being considered wet. What happens when two liquids touch each other? Well, if you are willing to call a liquid an object, then it is wet. Wait. Object. Is liquid an object? Holy shit wait. I was about to conclude my thought, but now I have another. Ok, I'll conclude my thought, and then move on. If a liquid touches another liquid, possibly itself, then it is technically wet. If you have one lone liquid molecule, then it is not wet. Therefore, the answer to the question "Is water wet?" Is purely conditional, depending on if there are at least two water molecules touching each other. I rest my case. Now to ask if water is an object. Ok, so I searched up the definition of object, and water is an object. I rest my case, again. TL;DR: A water molecule being wet is purely conditional. A water molecule is only wet when it is being touched by one or more liquid molecules. I rest my case. But, if you want to go really specific, then nothing can be wet. Technically, according to a vsauce video I watched over a year ago and barely have any memory of, nothing is touching each other, so nothing can be wet. But, avoiding that random thing, since nobody's gonna get out of a pool soaked in water and argue that they're not wet, I stick with my original conclusion.
Two thoughts. First, is a molecule not always touching itself? Second, the reasoning that says nothing is touching itself redefines touching, it does not disprove the concept. Now, touching simply means making objects interact in close proximity such that they can not pass through each other
OBJECTION You said that for something to be wet, it must be touched by *another* liquid. That means that if two water molecules touch each other they do not makes each other wet, that is because those two would basically form a bigger volume of water and thus making it the same liquid therefore not being any *another* liquid touching the original water molecules. So in conclusion i think that most liquids by themselves ( and some even in combination with each other because they combine ) are not wet. But if it's something as let's say water and oil, then yes you could call oil wet. This concludes my case
*_OBJECTION!_* I’m afraid all the water molecules touching is _scientifically impossible._ Touch, as we understand it, is when the boundaries of two objects are in the same location... however, molecules _don’t have boundaries!_
@Hello World Molecules do not connect entirely. Things called Electrons repel the two, like anything, while we still feel the touch. And if we can be considered set through the repelling, then water can still be wet going by the same definition.
It was truly remarkable how he calmly argued that the outside of the cup was indeed not wet as the coffee had not touched that part, whereas the rest of us would’ve been too dumbfounded by the accusation to offer a rebuttal.
@@sorensharp4377 agreed. Most people just don't know about the history function and the citations. Being able to see the past versions of a Wikipedia article and the citations makes my mind at rest since it would be significantly harder for a random editor to get away with a lie. I've only encountered one mistake (not lie) that I knew myself was wrong. It was a simple error where the time period in part of the article implied a different end point of said time then what was later stated in the article. And guess what. I just edited the time period to be correct (the point in time was correct).
I think something wet is something that could be dry. Clothes can be wet or dry. Water can't be dry. Therefore, to call it wet doesn't make sense, since it won't ever be dry.
@@neg1346 that silica water isn’t “dry water” it the most true/literal definition. They only call it that because it’s water and it appears to be dry. But underneath every silica coating the droplet, the liquid water is still there.
Btw, this statement, if you’re smart, debunks the entire “water is wet” argument. It’s so dumb. If i hire somebody, I should ask them if water is wet, and if they say yes then I know they have no critical thinking skills and I won’t hire them lol.
The definition of wet is inadequate. We do not apply the label “wet” to a liquid because of this exact problem: it makes no sense. Therefore, I propose a revision to the definition of the word “wet”: Describing a SOLID covered or saturated by water or another liquid. Thereby, at the molecular level, the word “wet” no longer applies because the state of matter of a substance is a property of many molecules acting together - solids are locked structures of molecules, liquids are loose associations, and gases looser associations still. Therefore, a single molecule of water is neither solid, liquid, or gas, and because it is not liquid, it cannot make other things wet, so water cannot make itself wet. You could claim that at the molecular level each molecule can be treated as a solid, but in that case because every molecule would be treated as solid there would be no agent to make other things wet. Ergo water is not wet because a) it is not a solid, and b) on the molecular level there is no such thing as states of matter. QED
Nah this is a better title because it had a purpose of being a debate and not just some random UA-cam argument and UA-cam arguments aren’t like this, they’re way more toxic
merriam-webster defines "wet" as: consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water) by this definition, all water is wet, as water consists of itself, a liquid by stricter definitions such as google, almost all water is wet, as even if a single molecule of water is not inherently wet, multiple water molecules cover each other in water, which is a liquid, ergo the water becomes wet. it may not be completely covered by water but it doesn't have to be - you don't want until your entire shirt is drenched with water before you say it's wet, you say it's wet when you get water on it ergo by the strictest definitions, for all but highly specific (and likely purely scientific) contexts, water is wet. by less strict definitions, water is inherently wet.
@@TheChlanders i mean if you wanna go there then nothing can ever be wet because molecules never actually touch to begin with like i said, outside of highly specific and almost exclusively scientific contexts, water basically touches and thus is wet. you kind of just proved my point
OBJECTION! The definition of saturated is, according to google "holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed; thoroughly soaked." However, water cannot absorb water, therefore could never be wet.
@@deltainfinium869 water has to, even in solid form, be wet, because of *dry ice* which is ice... *THAT CONTAINS NO WATER!!!*. Dry ice implies the existence of wet ice, which is what normal ice is! Because of that, each water molecule should act as a container for all other water molecules too!

@@theaviator1152 No to be burned is to be damaged or injured by heat/fire. It's possible to touch fire without being burned. It can burn, but isn't itself burned.
@@lintyscorpion2692 Okay, perhaps in that sense ‘burnt’ isn’t the correct word, but one definition of ‘burn’ is ‘be in flames.’ So in that sense, fire is burning as in ‘producing flames and heat while consuming a material such as coal or wood’ AND as in ‘being in flames.’ Therefore fire is *burnt* in multiple definitions (including the one of being in flames, which is the one relevant to my argument).
@@theaviator1152 It is only burning in the verb action, which is completely different then being burnt itself. Burning meaning it is burning something else. Which is completely irrelevant to my original statement. Water isn't wet the same reason that fire isn't on fire.
"Scientific" answer: Something is wet if it is saturated in water, for example, a napkin with a drop of water in it is a little wet, in one spot. Let's say, the mass proportion of napkin-water is 100:1. If you soak it in water, it's very wet, let's say 1:1. At some point, there is more water than napkin, if you leave it submerged in a bucket, the proportion might be 1:10. Then, if you submerge a small napkin in the whole-ass ocean, you'd say it's absurdly wet, the proportion would be something like 1:1 trillion or something. Basically, as the proportion of thing-water gets smaller and smaller, it becomes wetter and wetter. To the point where it would be so small, it'd be basically zero. So, if the proportion of thing-water is zero, you'd have just water. So pure water is the wettest of substances. QED.
Objection! The napkin stops being "wet" as defined long before it hits "zero" saturation. It would become napkin bits, then napkin particles, diluting into the water and becoming soup. Water doesn't wet itself, it can't touch itself or saturate itself.
REVISION! An object does not get "wetter" as it is surrounded by more water per se, it technically gets wetter as the substance gets saturated with water up to a maximum amount. A tissue submerged in the ocean is not wetter than a tissue submerged in the bathtub. And, by the very nature of wetness, a wet, with water saturated substance will still contain that water as it is raised out of the water, as the water will cling to it, making it wet in the first place. This is difficult to simulate with water, as raising a ball of water out of a bathtub without outside interference is nigh impossible. Or so it would seem, since attempting this in an area without the influence of gravity will lead to the water forming a big floating ball of itself due to the surface tension of water, which implies the substance in question in fact retaining the water it was soaked in and being wet. So water, as a substance absorbing the water it is soaked in instead of repelling it, is wet.
But everything has a specific capacity to absorb water. So it will stop at some point that's why the ratio won't be zero. Only if I understood whatever you wrote correctly since my phy and chem are drowning after lackdown.
Wouldn’t something have to be in a dryer surrounding to be called wet? Do you call something underwater wet before actually bringing it out of the water? What do you call it?
Pink Soul Eating Monster it would have to be in a dryer surrounding to be called wet, like imagine you’re a fish and your only surrounding is water, you wouldn’t call anything wet
Wet is basically a simple definition of water molecules being on a object so if water touches another object a object turns wet Edit: We can just say one water molecule is not wet but two water molecules touching each other means that those molecules of water are wet Edit x2:So stuff being wet is just water on objects but you won’t say Hydrogen will make things wet or oxygen touching something so water isn’t wet I guess but it is because water is the thing we are saying that it’s wet but it’s just the definition of wet that is water touching a object I didn’t actually look up the definition of wet but I assume I’m correct because it’s the definition that is causing problems with “is water wet” Edit x3: I feel Weird and smart at the same time saying this
Let’s say I poured some water into a mug, about halfway full. If I pour some more water into that mug, does the water that was already there become more saturated? No. It’s just a larger sum of water. Also, it is impossible for water to cover itself, because water will always adapt to its surroundings and take on new forms. Water isn’t layered, like solids. It’s one mass of a certain amount of water. Therefore, because it does not cover or saturate itself, _water is not wet!_
If I put an apple in a bucket of water and it is saturated with water and then I pour more water in the bucket, has the apple become more saturated? No, because it’s already been saturated with as much water as currently possible, as would be the water molecules in the water.

After a lot of research, the question "is water wet?" is finally solved.... the answer is "yes, water is wet", the proof is: if you put water into a closed container, and you put anything on the container, say for example.... a banana, and leave it there in the %100 dry room for like 2 hours, you will find that the banana is wet, that's because water vapor got into the banana, and water is not just the Liquid, the solid water (ice) and the air water (water vapor) are also waters.... another proof is that when you touch ice (the solid water) your hands would get wet, and just like what i said, water is water no matter what state of object it is, that leaves us with one explanation, that is... water is wet. case closed, your honor.
OBJECTION!! Ice is a solid, and therefore can't be wet! The only reason ice feels wet is because... Your own thermal energy melts the surface of the ice!
OBJECTION! ice starts melting at practically any slightly warm temperature anyway without anyone touching it and yes you could put it in a fridge or freezer but that's man made which won't last forever so when it runs out the ice will melt at normal temperature because it's natural for ice to go WET then turn to water. But your probably going to object with what about freezing areas on the planet and my answer to that is... GLOBAL WARMING!
HOLD IT! The transfer of thermal energy isn't an instant process - if the ice is cold enough, you'd be able to touch it for enough time to feel that it's NOT WET before it starts melting! (Granted it'd probably be a bit painful to touch something that cold for long)
(shakes head) yes that may be true but the ice would have to be extremely cold for it to last long at all. when you get a glass of water or another substance with ice in it you can see that the ice slowly shrinks. But if it were a complete solid it would take much longer to desolve. therefore ice is partially liquid even in solid form!

OBJECTION! Since the surface molecules are touching water... *points finger* IT IS STILL WET! The example given by the defense is faulty because it ignores the fact that the inner molecules of the mug and the outer molecules of the mug are different. So, while only certain sides of the mug are wet, the entire molecules of those surfaces are also wet, just like the surface water molecules!
Edit: After a long debate with BeelzebubFailure, we have come to an agreement. The following is a conclusion that we have both agreed upon, and that I feel sums up the debate well:
Water, by itself and as a single molecule, is not intrinsically wet. It has no property that can make itself wet. However, water in the presence of other water molecules, given there is enough to consider some molecules as covered, those covered molecules become wet.
HOLD IT! The definition given by the prosecution asserts that to be considered "wet" the object has to be "covered or saturated with water or another liquid". Since the water molecules are in contact with air they cannot be fully covered in other water molecules. True the inside of the mug is wet, but that doesn't mean that the mug in its entirety is wet!
@@Dctr-mg8km HOLD IT! If the mug was underwater, there would be little to no air to separate the mug from the water, and ALL of the mug would be wet. Therefore, the water from the inside of the mug touches the water from the outside of the mug, making it W E T.

"the molecules were touching eachother"
Physics: "am I a joke to you?"
Chemistry: "am I a joke to you?"
Well, if you say that the existence of a gap means they are not touching, then nothing is, therefore nothing can be wet. However, it should be obvious that what is commonly referred to as touching is, in fact, electron repulsion. Therefore, water molecules were indeed touching each other.
The repulsion of molecules creates the reaction that we know as touching

"is water wet?"

*confused trampling in gallery*
I love when the judge just said "ehh at this point I don't even know what water is" 🤣😂😆
I love how simple questions with a yes or no answer turn into a full blown court discussion and argument
It began with "Is water wet?" To "Let's get te old man"
Now i'm worring about him
This comment started out as a random comment, but I actually ended up coming up with a solid conclusion. So, if you want to read the TL;DR, it's there at the end. I suggest those who do read through my bullshit to read the TL;DR too, since I made one minor tweak to my conclusion. I'm very confident in my conclusion.
I came here with the opinion that water isn't wet and it just makes other things wet, but came out thinking water is wet because it's making itself wet, but a singular water molecule on its own isn't wet. Wait a sec... Ok ok wait. Water itself isn't wet. It's other water that makes it wet. Then again, wetness is a quality of an object that isn't provided by itself, but by another substance, specifically a liquid. When I hold a wet object, it isn't the object itself that makes it wet, nor the liquid, it's the fact that the liquid is touching the object. In this case, you would call the object wet, but not the liquid wet. Technically, that doesn't bar the liquid from ever being considered wet. What happens when two liquids touch each other? Well, if you are willing to call a liquid an object, then it is wet. Wait. Object. Is liquid an object? Holy shit wait. I was about to conclude my thought, but now I have another. Ok, I'll conclude my thought, and then move on. If a liquid touches another liquid, possibly itself, then it is technically wet. If you have one lone liquid molecule, then it is not wet. Therefore, the answer to the question "Is water wet?" Is purely conditional, depending on if there are at least two water molecules touching each other. I rest my case. Now to ask if water is an object. Ok, so I searched up the definition of object, and water is an object. I rest my case, again.
TL;DR: A water molecule being wet is purely conditional. A water molecule is only wet when it is being touched by one or more liquid molecules. I rest my case.
But, if you want to go really specific, then nothing can be wet. Technically, according to a vsauce video I watched over a year ago and barely have any memory of, nothing is touching each other, so nothing can be wet. But, avoiding that random thing, since nobody's gonna get out of a pool soaked in water and argue that they're not wet, I stick with my original conclusion.
A single water molecule can't even be considered a liquid. Therefore water, in liquid form, is always wet
Two thoughts. First, is a molecule not always touching itself?
Second, the reasoning that says nothing is touching itself redefines touching, it does not disprove the concept. Now, touching simply means making objects interact in close proximity such that they can not pass through each other
what the actual... wh... uh.. i can't read that i'm too lazy.
OBJECTION You said that for something to be wet, it must be touched by *another* liquid. That means that if two water molecules touch each other they do not makes each other wet, that is because those two would basically form a bigger volume of water and thus making it the same liquid therefore not being any *another* liquid touching the original water molecules. So in conclusion i think that most liquids by themselves ( and some even in combination with each other because they combine ) are not wet. But if it's something as let's say water and oil, then yes you could call oil wet. This concludes my case
U
*_OBJECTION!_*
I’m afraid all the water molecules touching is _scientifically impossible._
Touch, as we understand it, is when the boundaries of two objects are in the same location... however, molecules _don’t have boundaries!_

@Hello World Molecules do not connect entirely. Things called Electrons repel the two, like anything, while we still feel the touch. And if we can be considered set through the repelling, then water can still be wet going by the same definition.

Honestly learnt so much from this video
I love how today i had a class about water and molecules, and this appears in recommended
I can't even remember what side I'm on for this one-
The definition of wet is inadequate. We do not apply the label “wet” to a liquid because of this exact problem: it makes no sense. Therefore, I propose a revision to the definition of the word “wet”:
Describing a SOLID covered or saturated by water or another liquid.
Thereby, at the molecular level, the word “wet” no longer applies because the state of matter of a substance is a property of many molecules acting together - solids are locked structures of molecules, liquids are loose associations, and gases looser associations still. Therefore, a single molecule of water is neither solid, liquid, or gas, and because it is not liquid, it cannot make other things wet, so water cannot make itself wet.
You could claim that at the molecular level each molecule can be treated as a solid, but in that case because every molecule would be treated as solid there would be no agent to make other things wet.
Ergo water is not wet because a) it is not a solid, and b) on the molecular level there is no such thing as states of matter. QED

man that guy with the white hair really loves his coffee
merriam-webster defines "wet" as: consisting of, containing, covered with, or soaked with liquid (such as water)
by this definition, all water is wet, as water consists of itself, a liquid
by stricter definitions such as google, almost all water is wet, as even if a single molecule of water is not inherently wet, multiple water molecules cover each other in water, which is a liquid, ergo the water becomes wet. it may not be completely covered by water but it doesn't have to be - you don't want until your entire shirt is drenched with water before you say it's wet, you say it's wet when you get water on it
ergo by the strictest definitions, for all but highly specific (and likely purely scientific) contexts, water is wet. by less strict definitions, water is inherently wet.
@@TheChlanders i mean if you wanna go there then nothing can ever be wet because molecules never actually touch to begin with

The definition of water is touching or SATURATED with water, and water itself is 100% saturated with water, therefore, water is wet.
OBJECTION! The definition of saturated is, according to google "holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed; thoroughly soaked."
However, water cannot absorb water, therefore could never be wet.
@@deltainfinium869 water has to, even in solid form, be wet, because of *dry ice* which is ice... *THAT CONTAINS NO WATER!!!*. Dry ice implies the existence of wet ice, which is what normal ice is! Because of that, each water molecule should act as a container for all other water molecules too!

"Scientific" answer:
Something is wet if it is saturated in water, for example, a napkin with a drop of water in it is a little wet, in one spot. Let's say, the mass proportion of napkin-water is 100:1. If you soak it in water, it's very wet, let's say 1:1. At some point, there is more water than napkin, if you leave it submerged in a bucket, the proportion might be 1:10. Then, if you submerge a small napkin in the whole-ass ocean, you'd say it's absurdly wet, the proportion would be something like 1:1 trillion or something. Basically, as the proportion of thing-water gets smaller and smaller, it becomes wetter and wetter. To the point where it would be so small, it'd be basically zero. So, if the proportion of thing-water is zero, you'd have just water. So pure water is the wettest of substances. QED.
Why do i feel so tired...?
Objection!
The napkin stops being "wet" as defined long before it hits "zero" saturation. It would become napkin bits, then napkin particles, diluting into the water and becoming soup. Water doesn't wet itself, it can't touch itself or saturate itself.
REVISION!
An object does not get "wetter" as it is surrounded by more water per se, it technically gets wetter as the substance gets saturated with water up to a maximum amount. A tissue submerged in the ocean is not wetter than a tissue submerged in the bathtub. And, by the very nature of wetness, a wet, with water saturated substance will still contain that water as it is raised out of the water, as the water will cling to it, making it wet in the first place. This is difficult to simulate with water, as raising a ball of water out of a bathtub without outside interference is nigh impossible. Or so it would seem, since attempting this in an area without the influence of gravity will lead to the water forming a big floating ball of itself due to the surface tension of water, which implies the substance in question in fact retaining the water it was soaked in and being wet. So water, as a substance absorbing the water it is soaked in instead of repelling it, is wet.
But everything has a specific capacity to absorb water. So it will stop at some point that's why the ratio won't be zero.
Only if I understood whatever you wrote correctly since my phy and chem are drowning after lackdown.
Which is more wet, fresh or salt water.
Wouldn’t something have to be in a dryer surrounding to be called wet? Do you call something underwater wet before actually bringing it out of the water? What do you call it?
Pink Soul Eating Monster it would have to be in a dryer surrounding to be called wet, like imagine you’re a fish and your only surrounding is water, you wouldn’t call anything wet

I love how they were taking it seriously up until the end
Wet is basically a simple definition of water molecules being on a object so if water touches another object a object turns wet
Edit: We can just say one water molecule is not wet but two water molecules touching each other means that those molecules of water are wet
Edit x2:So stuff being wet is just water on objects but you won’t say Hydrogen will make things wet or oxygen touching something so water isn’t wet I guess but it is because water is the thing we are saying that it’s wet but it’s just the definition of wet that is water touching a object I didn’t actually look up the definition of wet but I assume I’m correct because it’s the definition that is causing problems with “is water wet”
Edit x3: I feel Weird and smart at the same time saying this
Let’s say I poured some water into a mug, about halfway full. If I pour some more water into that mug, does the water that was already there become more saturated? No. It’s just a larger sum of water. Also, it is impossible for water to cover itself, because water will always adapt to its surroundings and take on new forms. Water isn’t layered, like solids. It’s one mass of a certain amount of water. Therefore, because it does not cover or saturate itself, _water is not wet!_
If I put an apple in a bucket of water and it is saturated with water and then I pour more water in the bucket, has the apple become more saturated? No, because it’s already been saturated with as much water as currently possible, as would be the water molecules in the water.
Pedobear TheBeast then why wouldn’t the molecules repel the rest of the water like the apple does
But that argument doesn’t make sense on a molecular level, because that would imply that everything covers itself at all times.
can you prove the pre existing mass isnt wet already

After a lot of research, the question "is water wet?" is finally solved.... the answer is "yes, water is wet", the proof is: if you put water into a closed container, and you put anything on the container, say for example.... a banana, and leave it there in the %100 dry room for like 2 hours, you will find that the banana is wet, that's because water vapor got into the banana, and water is not just the Liquid, the solid water (ice) and the air water (water vapor) are also waters.... another proof is that when you touch ice (the solid water) your hands would get wet, and just like what i said, water is water no matter what state of object it is, that leaves us with one explanation, that is... water is wet. case closed, your honor.
OBJECTION!!
Ice is a solid, and therefore can't be wet! The only reason ice feels wet is because...
Your own thermal energy melts the surface of the ice!
@@mattalevine I approve this message
OBJECTION! ice starts melting at practically any slightly warm temperature anyway without anyone touching it and yes you could put it in a fridge or freezer but that's man made which won't last forever so when it runs out the ice will melt at normal temperature because it's natural for ice to go WET then turn to water. But your probably going to object with what about freezing areas on the planet and my answer to that is... GLOBAL WARMING!
HOLD IT! The transfer of thermal energy isn't an instant process - if the ice is cold enough, you'd be able to touch it for enough time to feel that it's NOT WET before it starts melting! (Granted it'd probably be a bit painful to touch something that cold for long)
(shakes head) yes that may be true but the ice would have to be extremely cold for it to last long at all. when you get a glass of water or another substance with ice in it you can see that the ice slowly shrinks. But if it were a complete solid it would take much longer to desolve. therefore ice is partially liquid even in solid form!
