Water is NOT wet.  Water makes some things wet.

 

Again, does Teflon® get wet?

"PTFE is hydrophobic: neither water nor water- containing substances wet PTFE, as fluorocarbons"

I could get you wet. ?

[Fadingpain]

Correct answer is C:  Sometimes.

 

Like when it's frozen.  It's not really wet then.

What about ice cubes in a glass of water? Those could be considered wet.

Ice is water.  A substance is not wet until it touches something else other than itself and then that substance becomes wet.  Water can't be wet.  Getting wet is the state of something else when exposed to a liquid solvent.  In this case, the universal solvent: H2O (water)

 

And touching yourself doesn't count... Do you want to get hairy palms!  So stop it!

Ice is water is H2O. Water submerged in water, surrounded by water, acted upon by water...I've even heard the phrase 'wet ice' once or twice, dry ice is common and thus its contrapositive. I win.

The Uncertainty Principle says that you can know a particle's exact position or its exact velocity, but not both at the same time. For this example, I choose position.

 

Werner Heisenberg was once pulled over for speeding. The cop asked, "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg responded, "No, but I know precisely where I am."

 

 

 

Darn...the file is to big and I don’t know how to fix that, but the coaster says: 

 

Officer says “you drinking?”

I say “you buying?”

We laughed and laughed!

That depends if you use real peanut butter or that crappy almond butter crap.

I think this is a question in a similar vein to “what does chocolate taste like?”

 

so I voted no.

 

Chocolate tastes like chocolate.  Unless it's white chocolate, in which case, it tastes like ass.

Yes but what flavor is it? You’re describing it with itself. ?

 

Start your own !@#$ing thread, dude.

Puerto Rican.  But what does that have to do with anything?

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

I'm not sure about water, but I know this thread is.  All wet.

 

If you didn't grow up in the 50s - 60s, the phrasing of my answer is probably lost on the reader.

And you've tasted ass?

 

Like dog food... How do those commercials now how it tastes.  What dogs love.

 

But... I am w/You Bro on this whole water is NOT wet, water makes things wet business!

Of course.  It makes OTHER things wet.

"Being a liquid, water is not itself wet, but can make other solid materials wet.

Wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid, so when we say that something is wet, we mean that the liquid is sticking to the surface of a material..."

I will quote myself.  So ice can be wet, but water in liquid form by itself can't.

Ice isn't wet until it touches something warmer than itself.
