minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11arrow-down5·8 months agoCan you pour water onto water? Then yes, water can be wet.
minus-squaregregorumlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down3·edit-28 months agoThat just makes more water, not wet water. Water cannot give a property to itself (wetness) that it, by definition, can only give to other things.
minus-squareEl Barto@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8 months agoDry air can dry air. Wet water can wet water. Checkmate!
