Water is the physical manifestation of wetness and is hence, wet

Individual water particles are dry which is the source of this fuckass argument, because a geek with too much screentime found that out and made it a thing. The second 2 water molecules exist in contact, both have now made each other wet, so no the individual particles are dry, but all water we interact with is wet, single water molecules that have never contacted another water molecule dont exist in any notable fashion

wetness is a property of solid objects, so no

Water’s wetness is a weird emergent property given that it’s just hydrogen and oxygen smashed together

Water IS wet, the presence of water is what makes something wet. Wetness is the presence of water

Water isn’t like Midas’s touch, it doesn’t create wet when it touches something, something is wet because water is there, water sticks to stuff and gets caught in little ridges. Water is the wet, when something is wet it’s because water is on or in it, therefore water IS wet

Water is not wet. Wetness is when a liquid sticks to a solid surface. Water itself is doing the wetting, so therefore a liquid can’t not make itself wet.

But what is added to make something wet, water. And something being wet is it having the presence of water. Water is wet, it is the manifestation

Water is not a solid so therefore it can’t make itself wet. Water molecules never touch each other, the only time that happens is when it freezes turning it into ice. So the only way water could get wet if it’s in a solid form like ice.

No molecules ever touch each other. If being wet is the presence of water than water is constantly wet because water being present means water is present

You’re right they do not touch. I meant to say they slow down which makes the water freeze. That’s not how it works, water is not a solid so it can’t get itself wet.

Except wetness is water, it doesn’t need to get itself wet. If there is more than one water molecule they are wet, if a towel is wet it’s because there are water molecules stuck in it, in a glass of water the water molecules are touching each other constantly so they are wet as they are together, a single water molecule makes something wet by being there

I can tell science is not your strong suit. Water can make things wet but not itself. A towel is wet due to a liquid touches it which makes it wet. A towel is a solid object so water or any other liquid that goes on it will make it wet. Yes only to other objects not to itself.

Science is when water isn’t wet.

Why can’t water make itself wet? Because you said so? Water vapor is wet, air can be wet. Nobody ever said that only solids can be wet, you genuinely just made that up and said it is a rule.

“In physics and chemistry, "wet" describes a liquid's ability to adhere to and spread across the surface of a solid (like a table, your skin, or a towel).” This is not my personal opinion rather a scientific fact. I didn’t make up anything up, but you certainly are.
