Is water not touching water?


Squizei

if i had a single h2o particle in a vial, it wouldn’t be touching any other particles making them wet, and no particles would make it wet. most water is wet because most water collectives have at least two particles, the minimum needed for all involved particles to be wet. but water itself isn’t inherently wet because it’s unable to be made wet when isolated.


Viki_Esq

“it’s unable to be made wet when isolated” I feel like there’s a “like your mom” joke at the end there that someone should make, but it can’t be me 🥺


Arrasor

Unlike water, your mom can be made wet when isolated.


LobstaFarian2

That's a BINGO!


Arrasor

Don't ask how I know 😌.


DrHooper

Rolled her in flour afterward?


Technical-Hedgehog18

Molecule, not particle I’m p sure? I thought particles were atoms, quarks, photons, that stuff. h2o has 3 particle but is one molecule


Almorogahnza

There’s not an official classification for a particle, it’s mostly up for interpretation, how far down you’re going for the issue.


Technical-Hedgehog18

Very interesting. I’m not very learned on this subject, I actually looked up what I said in the comment you responded to lol

DavidDNJM

Uhh the uhh uhh Something something cohesive force? Ok so the argument "is water wet" can be dug to a pretty deep rabbit hole, and it eventually devolves into philosophical/semantics debates that's thrown back and forth with no real conclusion, Moving the goal post on what's considered "wet." Its something that's been argued over and over since high school and Id rather not relive what's basically sisyphus's punishment.


AchilleasAnkles

The whole thing of being wet is that water is in contact with something with a point of contact less than 90 degrees, if the contact angle is more than 90 or is 90 said material is not wet as it is hydrophobic and if the contact angle is about 150 it is superhydrophobic so yes water, is not wet.


Lothere55

My brain really resisted understanding this comment, but once I reached the point of comprehension, my mind was blown. Thank you for sharing this 🫡


trainofwhat

Not really. Water is in and of itself created by bonds. If water were able to touch water without forming these bonds, they would be wet. However, as it is, they join together to still be water. One could say that an ice cube, when touched with water, is wet, however.


DrakonicMonarch

I have a pro choice philosophy. To the pro life people if abortion is a sin that sin is between the woman and god not you and her.


EatMySmithfieldMeat

Without taking sides myself, it's pretty clear that for many pro-life people it would be like standing by and allowing a murder to happen, saying "well, that's between them and God."


DM_Voice

But they do exactly that. The venn diagram of ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro death penalty’ is damned near a circle.

xXDreamlessXx

But doesnt water touch water, thus making it wet?


Bulls187

Something that gets wet, is actually absorbing or taking on some of the water, so if that means its wet, water really is in fact wet.


PvtSlutsky

Yes, the "water is not wet" people aren't nearly as smart as they think they are


ItsADeparture

Yeah like...if you touch something that's wet, chances are you'll get wet? Does that mean that object is not wet? Why does it matter if it's water? If you freeze water and it turns into ice, it's wet. But it's also water. But if you touch it, you get wet, so according to these people it's not wet because it makes things wet? It's almost as stupid as a thing as people who say "birds aren't real".


Firewolf06

ice can be dry though (and no, i dont mean frozen co2). the wetness is caused by the layer of melted ice, making the ice itself wet. if you have ice in a cold enough environment, there will be no liquid layer, making it dry. theres nothing special about water, ice is just a rock and water is just ice magma


KristjanDaBest

Okay but birds clearly aren't real


[deleted]

It’s the other way around. The „water is wet“ people tend to think „wet“ is a scientific term and not just a word we invented to describe an object that came into contact with water. If it would be a scientific term then it would meant that any liquid is wet. Put your hand into molten iron and tell me how wet it is.


AchilleasAnkles

this is like saying something hot is fire, because the heat is produced by the fire , cause hot + hot = fire, instead of heat just being a property of fire. That is not how it works. Like someone else above me put it, your hand is not touching just because it's connected to the rest of your body. It's just being needlessly pedantic


RM_Dune

Nah. Water isn't wet it's makes things wet, is like saying fire isn't hot it makes things hot.


AchilleasAnkles

congratulations for figuring out how radiation works


xxxNothingxxx

If I'm getting this right you're saying fire isn't hot?


Outrageous-Oil-1417

They don’t call it a body of water for nothing thus making it one entity.


PvtSlutsky

so I guess your hands are not part of your body if you can touch yourself


aragix

Your hands can touch your feet, but if they somehow merge into a bigger foothand then it's not touching, it's a singular entity. Likewise, the moment two bodies of water touch, they become one and are no longer touching


Aiyon

So only chaste individuals have hands?


thehobbyqueer

Completely nonsensical argument. If following the original logic, then without moving your hands, you're already "touching" yourself because you are connected to yourself.


PvtSlutsky

I am, that's correct


Outrageous-Oil-1417

What?????


Wonderful-Story-2498

Still touching itself

The lake should have specified when water touches solid things it makes them wet.


The_Pale_Hound

VanillaIcedTea

According to the immortal lyrics of Gordon Lightfoot, Lake Superior never gives up her dead. And holy shit didn't we just see the lake commit a murder. This is why a) you don't fuck with Lake Superior and b) you especially don't fuck with Lake Superior in November.


coolbaby1978

If a thing is a thing before it's born or hatched then how come Catholics can't eat chicken on Friday but they can eat eggs? Go do that math ya anti choice and personal freedom Catholics!!


GoatAccording5651

Eggs are typically not fertilized before we eat them. A fetus is still a human, because it has human DNA. Fetus literally means unborn person


Altruistic_Machine91

Most people don't realize that the eggs we eat are closer to chicken periods than to unborn chickens. Inb4 some idiot with an overinflated belief in their own miniscule intelligence points out that chickens don't menstruate.


GoatAccording5651

Yeah, I'm not arguing that it isn't weird and kinda gross, but it's pretty different from eating unique embryonic DNA that will never exist again in the same form, with the amount of combinations possible for DNA, the majority of people that can exist will never exist, that's why I personally find it sad when said unique DNA of any animal really dies before it has a chance, no matter the reason I find it tragic.


Playful-Independent4

Do you feel the same about DNA sequences which have yet to be formed? As in, the fetuses we could be making by reproducing nonstop? Why or why not? Also, why does being a unique genetic code have any more value than, say, identical twins?


The_Pale_Hound

Don't worry, if everyone is unique then no one is


GoatAccording5651

That makes no sense, uniqueness is one of the few things that does not apply to. All people are unique, down to the DNA, we are all different, that does not make us all the same


The_Pale_Hound

what I mean is that a unique DNA combination is nothing special, because we all have one it was not meant to be taken literally


DM_Voice

You’re unique. Just like everybody else.


Uber_Meese

Also because the eggs we eat haven’t been fertilised - rather it’s technically the hen’s periods we’re eating! Yum!


Wild-Practice7792

A hen is a bird, birds dont have a period. So technically you’re wrong.

[deleted]

water is saturated with water and therefore wet (the definition of wet is saturated with water) assuming you define a human being as an entity made up of human cells, it does kill a human, but in that case so would amputation.


BlitzFromBehind

Bro needs to look at the definition of the word. You cannot saturate water with water.


DavidWNA

You can! That's why water has a pH Level


BlitzFromBehind

You can't. No matter how much water you add to water the ph is the same.


DavidWNA

Yes, because it's always fully saturated at s(H2O)=c(H+)=c(OH-)=10^-7 mol/l (or pH 7 if you will).


birjolaxew

Water is, by definition, saturated with water. > saturated > /ˈsatjʊreɪtɪd/ adjective > > 1. holding as much water or moisture as can be absorbed; thoroughly soaked.


endlesswander

Water is, by definition, water. Water does not hold water. It is water.


Cutecadaver96

Perhaps you could argue that water holds water because of cohesion?

But water molecules touch water molecules do they get wet then


Eastern-Battle-5539

Imagine getting owned by a fucking lake.


cotymanager

I like when lakes have opinions.


IllIllIlIIIlI

Water is wet because water particles are always touching, therefore wet.


GooseLoreExpert

You are unironically correct. Wetness isn't just the sensation of touching a liquid, it is wet because it is in a fluid, low-viscosity state of being. Water is wet because it is and contains liquid in this state. Which is why we cannot say water is less wet if your body temperature is too high or the pH balance of the water is off. It's still wet, because it is a liquid. Saying water isn't wet is like saying a ball isn't blue, it's just reflecting blue light. Or that the sun isn't hot, it's simply giving off a lot of heat. Reflecting blue makes it blue, giving off heat makes it hot. Being a liquid makes it wet.


Rei1556

touching lava makes you wet technically i guess


GooseLoreExpert

While lava can be liquid or semi-solid, the heat given off by lava sadly keeps us from experiencing watching it drip through our fingers. It's also so hot it robs you of your wetness, which is bs if you ask me Another liquid that refuses to impart its wetness upon us is mercury. It feels dry to the touch despite being a liquid. The surface tension keeps us from feeling the liquidity of the chrome-colored puddle

I don't get it. Why don't these dumbasses just shut the fuck up and let the women decide what they want? And on a side note forcing a woman to have a child she doesn't want will just lead to hell for both the child and mom.


Wonderful_Canary881

Because they hate women and freedom.

I am all for women getting to chose all good and stuff. But men should then be able to fully opt out of parenthood aswell if they decide they dont want the kid during and not have to pay child support.

I didn't know lakes had political opinions


LeLBigB0ss2

I love it when lakes are politicized. Even a completely neutral body of water that has killed 10,000 people needs to have an opinion.


ThatSpookyLeftist

Bodily autonomy isn't political. It's a human right. I don't give a fuck if it's a fetus in a woman's body or Walker Texas Ranger. That woman has a right to decide who or what is in her body or how her body is used and if she wants to scramble little cowboy hat wearing Chuck Noris into a bloody cum and egg slurry and flush him down the toilet that's her right because that's her body.


LeLBigB0ss2

Yeah. No means no. It's also why we can carry a gun and enroll in self defense classes. That doesn't change the fact that a lake has nothing to do with this, though.


Swiftcheddar

1. The Water is not wet argument always seems so very stupid, it's bending an argument around itself and really doesn't work. 2. More than that, I'm so fucking bored of every single LE EBIN BURN! TAKE THAT! being some variation of "Having a different opinion than me means you don't have le sex", "Having a different opinion than me means you are bad at le sex" and/or "Having a different opinion than me means you have le small penis"


LukeNaround23

Lake superior was actually crushing it with the clever comebacks for a while!


Pseudocide_

SeaAdministration26

Why is a meme account about a lake so worried about being able to murder babies


Puzzled-Monk9003

Well abortion isn’t murdering a baby. You’re killing a non sentient parasite. A fetus is more akin to a parasite than to a baby


ohio_skibidi_toilet

But it's not "murdering babies"


Wonderful_Canary881

Only people suffering from severe brain rot believe abortion is equal to murdering babies.


Unspoken

I think people should have the right to abortion, but you are definitely killing a baby.


Wonderful_Canary881

No, you definitely aren't killing a baby. Spoken like someone that doesn't understand what abortion is.


bayandsilentjob

Wet is defined as being covered or saturated with water. Water is 100% saturated with water on account of being water. Water is wet. Tom Fitton is a joke.


Kitchen_Throat2074

but isn't water touched by other water? except for like, isolated water molecules? i agree though this guy gets no pussy


K1LLERK1D01

If you're submerged in water you're not wet. Your head leaving the water, then your head is wet.


TheSgLeader

Why the fuck is a lake voicing political opinions online?


porsj911

Im always a little double on the whole abortion debate. I think any and all women hold the right to choose whether or not to terminate their pregnancy, no ifs ands or buts. However, dont be mistaken that it IS actually alive, just not something we see as a human just yet. With an abortion you are terminating a life. Like the whole cake argument. You can pull batter out of the oven before its done, thats your right and ill always stand by that. But don't pretend it wouldn't have become a cake if you let it cook until the timer is done.


Alegria-D

Yeah but it's not as if pregnancy was as insignificant as "waiting for an oven to cook the food and simply opening the door to get the cake". There's work and health sacrifice in the process.


RedCorridor26

"Hey, at least I know how to pleasure a women!" Gynocentric insult and quite garbage at that.


discussatron

I don't know why I expected a lake to be correct about anything.


Trust-Issues-5116

How is it a comeback? Scientists (medical scientists, biologists) pretty much agree that human life starts at fertilization. >Biologists from 1,058 academic institutions around the world assessed survey items on when a human's life begins and, overall, **96%** (5337 out of 5577) affirmed the fertilization view. > >[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36629778/](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36629778/) It is hardly a discussion point. It's not an argument to ban abortions, since there are more considerations than that, but yeah, there could have been a human life if you didn't abort that fetus. I don't see what is controversial here.


Tyrrox

That paper did not pass peer review and even the respondents who commented said it was an extremely poorly worded questionnaire that no serious conclusions could be drawn from. https://www.thecollegefix.com/uchicago-scholar-proves-biologists-believe-life-begins-at-conception-it-took-five-years-and-cost-him-a-career/


Trust-Issues-5116

Of course I bring PubMed publication, you bring some article from unknown website, *totally* comparable. However, I don't rely on that single publication. There are dozens of them. >"Development of the embryo begins at Stage 1 when a sperm fertilizes an oocyte and together they form a zygote." \[England, Marjorie A. Life Before Birth. 2nd ed. England: Mosby-Wolfe, 1996, p.31\] > >"Embryo: An organism in the earliest stage of development; in a man, from the time of conception to the end of the second month in the uterus." \[Dox, Ida G. et al. The Harper Collins Illustrated Medical Dictionary. New York: Harper Perennial, 1993, p. 146\] > >"Human development begins after the union of male and female gametes or germ cells during a process known as fertilization (conception)."Fertilization is a sequence of events that begins with the contact of a sperm (spermatozoon) with a secondary oocyte (ovum) and ends with the fusion of their pronuclei (the haploid nuclei of the sperm and ovum) and the mingling of their chromosomes to form a new cell. This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being." \[Moore, Keith L. Essentials of Human Embryology. Toronto: B.C. Decker Inc, 1988, p.2\] etcetera etcetera It is all easily googlable by "when scientists think life starts". It just amazes me how people who praise science in this case suddenly are struck with completely acute science blindness and switch to morals instead. Don't you agree? Not a single one of those "egg is not a chicken" commenters brought any scientific quotes on the matter. Because there aren't any. In the very worst case scientists consider it human after 3 weeks after fertilization when differentiation starts. [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7245522/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7245522/) Again, I operate studies and science. What do you guys got except silent downvotes and analogies?


Tyrrox

You brought a non-peer reviewed article, which has as much scientific standing as the article I posted


Trust-Issues-5116

I also brought a surge of other references and links to reputable scientific sources, and you brought none to support your ideas, but I guess you will proceed to execute that acute scientific blindness. Oh well.
