I’m firmly on the side of “water is not wet” in this debate, but it’s a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can’t get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can’t be wet until it’s taken out of the water, but it’s not dry either. Is it something else?
A living fish is immersed in water.
So what if I take a bunch of water and pour some water on it? Have I made wet water?
Does adding rocks to a rock make it rockier, or harder? Does it become a rocky rock?
rockiness isn’t really the same thing; take people for example. only one person could conceivably be rocky: sylvester stallone. meanwhile plenty of people can be wet, for example me when i see sylvester stallone.
So, just to understand your position - is a soaked sponge not wet?
I think a fish in water is still wet (i.e. in contact with some amount of water) but that’s superseded by the fact that it’s immersed in water, and thus not a very meaningful attribute.
umami
Lol, I’ve yet figure out what umami actually tastes like. I know salty, sweet, sour,… but wtf is umami? Every example/description of it sounds completely different. Can I go buy an umami-spice somewhere? Can it even be isolated? Does “umami” actually exist, or was it made up to trigger the shit out of people whenever someone mentions it online??
K, I’ll see myself out.
Saturation.
