    For those who,like me, didn’t get the fitzgerald reference:

    SS Edmund Fitzgerald was an American Great Lakes freighter that sank in Lake Superior during a storm on November 10, 1975, with the loss of the entire crew of 29 men.

    From the Wikipedia article

    Since water is touching itself, wouldn’t that make it wet by that definition?

      “Most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other sensation. But if you define wet as ‘made of liquid or moisture’, as some do, then water and all other liquids can be considered wet.”

      My favourite answer to this is Emergence, which was explained well in a recent kurzgesagt video.

      Basically Emergence dictates that a group of things (like H2O molecules) can form something greater than the sum of itself (wetness). In the molecules wetness is not a thing, but the interaction of water with something else creates wetness. This concept cannot reasonably be boiled down to the molecular level, it only exists on this plane of existence.

      If something is not wet, we call it dry, still waiting for someone to tell me water is fucking dry.

      I’m just talking about the wetness of water here, I support abortion rights.

      Edit: most comment replies I’ve had on here and it’s about water and if it’s wet. We’re so mundane.

        What about gases, are gases wet or dry?

        You say a gas is wet if it contains water, ok what about if the gas contains mercury, is that wet? Is pure liquid mercury wet or dry?

          Then what about dry ice? That’s frozen carbon dioxide, so it is waterless ice. It is called dry because it lacks any water. Is water ice more or less wet than dry ice?

        It’s neither because the concept isn’t applicable. It’s like dividing by 0. You can string the symbols together, but they don’t mean anything.

      I wouldn’t say so, and for the same reason they claim water isnt wet i claim water is wet: unless it’s just a single molecule, water touches (and even clings to) water. So water is wet.

        • What if you have two molecules of H2O that are below 0°C or above 100°C?
        • What if you have two molecules of some other liquid substance that are also polar like H2O?

          I’d say that the liquid phase is implied. Nobody is arguing whether a solid is wet.

          And this is just by feel, but I’d say yes. Wetness is polar liquids sticking to stuff.

      Don’t listen to the siren call of Twitter, their claims are based on a flawed understanding of physical science.

      It is true, water makes things wet, it is not in and of itself wet, however all bodies of water you deal with on a day to day basis are not a singular object. They are uncountable multitudes of unconnected molecules of water, touching each other in a glorious slippery puddle of co-wetness.

      Water is thus wet, in liquid form. Interestingly enough, water is by definition not a liquid if it is just a lone molecule, therefore all liquid water exists in the state of mutually assured wetness.

      However, some unearned pedantry is allowed to dunk on bigots. They sure as hell don’t let facts stop them.

        Also since oil and water don’t mix, oil is also not wet, nor does it make things wet.

    Unless it is one solitary molecule of water, the water molecules are in contact with other water molecules, making them wet.
