This video should answer all your questions.

Well, why would I care. But, it’s wet, think about it, you have water in a cup, the water molecules are either completely surrounded or mostly surrounded by other water molecules. If you’re underwater, you’re completely surrounded by water, and if you’re underwater, you’re wet. And water itself is just wet.

It’s wet for the same reason an air dryer is dry.

Every physical thing in this world is on a scale from dry to wet. EVERYTHING. Water (and I know this may surprise some) is a physical thing. And, if it isn't dry, then it is-stay with me here-
WET

Well, you tell me. Is fire hot?

The definition of being wet is being covered by a liquid (or water) or being saturated by it. Water if isolated to a single H2O is not wet by definition, more then one is technically wet.

Isn't that clear?

That's not the same thing lol

You're thinking of "can fire burn itself?"

 

[Midoriya]

That's not the same thing lol

You're thinking of "can fire burn itself?"

It’s an analogy. Lmao


EDIT: Oh nvm, I goofed. I should have asked, “Is fire dry?”

 

[dedenne]

Im thoroughly dissapointed.

(taken from google cos i cant explain)
Water isn't wet. Wetness is a description of our experience of water; what happens to us when we come into contact with water in such a way that it impinges on our state of being. We, or our possessions, 'get wet'.

Point made case closed

yea it's wet. just bc it can't not b dried doesn't mean it's not wet. snow is always cold, sand is always sandy, water id always wet.

do w/e you want with ur Um Atchlulhlally The Dictionary Says.,,.,, because classifying water as anything but wet is confusing and not something ppl do unless they think it's fun to be pretentious and intentionally confusing. generally if something physical is not wet it's dry, if it's not dry it is some degree of wet and saying that water isnt wet implies that it's dry and is confusing and not necessary

Sand In Itself Is Not Sandy......,, "Sandy" Is Nothing But A Description Of Our Experience Of Sand.,.. Sand In Itself Exists On Another Plane Of Existance Than Us Mortals...,, This Distinction Is Extremely Important Because Sand Often Exists In A Complete Vacuum Just Floating Around In Space And Not Being Sandy,... I Am Very Smart

Obviously it's wet for me. When was there ever a time when water isn't wet?

 

[Croconaw]

Water is definitely wet.

Water isn't wet, it's blue.

Quoting this so the flat Earthers who think that water is wet CAN SEE IT IS NOT

 

[~Unicorn~]

water is wet when it touches something, but water itself with no contact to anything, who knows
