minus-squareOwl@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 年前If I have a single water molecule then it is still water but it isn’t touching any other water molecule, thus it isn’t wet
minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11arrow-down1·1 年前Exactly. 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-squarechiliedogg@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 年前Is the polar-bonded surface layer of water wet? It is not entirely surrounded by water.
minus-squareTattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 年前I’d say that’s dry, as it’s in contact with air. Or perhaps just moist, as it’s partially in contact with water.
minus-squareRobust Mirror@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down2·1 年前Well no one would consider something with a single water molecule on it wet either.
minus-squareOwl@mander.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·1 年前Yup, that further confirms what I said
