minus-square@Tattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink10•2 days agoExactly. 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-square@Tattorack@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•2 days agoI’d say that’s dry, as it’s in contact with air. Or perhaps just moist, as it’s partially in contact with water.
