If you go on an animal site without having any animals, you're insane! /s
I personally own two lovely cats, along with a dog. In my past, I've also owned a bunch of crazy things (for someone in the city) such as ducks and chickens... but mostly cats. Whoops. At one point in time, I did have a seagull named Duncan for awhile (found the poor guy hurt on the road and gave him a home till the rescue was open).

Ask yourself... "Is liquid water dry?"
The answer? No. Of course it's not.
If you want further 'proof', proceed to read this long and unneeded list of reasons why water IS wet:
- Water holds properties that science defines as 'wet', such as viscosity.
- The definition of liquid supports this claim: "a substance that flows freely but is of constant volume, having a consistency like that of water or oil: synonyms: fluid, moisture;" (from Google)
- The definition of wetness: "the state or condition of being covered or saturated with water or another liquid; dampness. (from Google)[/i] The H20 molecules are all touching together, hence water is wet. Water is covered by itself. It's wet.
- Another definition to wetness: "moist and humid content" (from here)"
- This video.
- "Water cannot be wet!" YOUR OPINION IS WRONG.
- George Orwell, in 1984, said: "Truisms are true, hold on to that! The solid world exists, its laws do not change. Stones are hard, water is wet, objects unsupported fall toward the earth's center"(71)." This was through his character Winston Smith. Book 1, Chapter 7.
... but as I look further into this argument, I begin to doubt my own opinion. To be honest, I don't even think I truly have an answer. There are some compelling and other scientific views on this subject. While I would like to say I provided a surefire answer above, the answer is truly something that depends on your own views. What I've come to notice is the lack of semantics! To each independent person who has formed an opinion on this subject has likely never looked into actual research, as it's just a conversation starter, but if from my own research, I've found that it's all one big misunderstanding.
The definition of wet depends on the person, hence why this debate has started. Basically, this is asking if a hotdog is a sandwich.
So if you want to ask yourself 'Is water wet?', you should instead ask yourself... "Is water wet or is the surface water sits on wet?" Yes.
why am i up this late looking this up like it's a research project?
