      If something is not wet, we call it dry, still waiting for someone to tell me water is fucking dry.

      I’m just talking about the wetness of water here, I support abortion rights.

      Edit: most comment replies I’ve had on here and it’s about water and if it’s wet. We’re so mundane.

      My favourite answer to this is Emergence, which was explained well in a recent kurzgesagt video.

      Basically Emergence dictates that a group of things (like H2O molecules) can form something greater than the sum of itself (wetness). In the molecules wetness is not a thing, but the interaction of water with something else creates wetness. This concept cannot reasonably be boiled down to the molecular level, it only exists on this plane of existence.
