minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·1 month agoExactly. So the only instance water is dry, and thus not wet, is if it’s a single lonely molecule. But water tends to come in herds, so that basically never happens.

minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoI’d say that’s dry, as it’s in contact with air. Or perhaps just moist, as it’s partially in contact with water.
