Why water is NOT wet

Water is damp.

Is soup a drink?

Absolutely right! Also consider that when using the word “wet”, you’ll always be referring to some object other than the water, even though you’re trying to convey the presence of water. “The puddle is wet.” “The ground is wet.” “The outside of the cup is wet with condensation.” “Now my hand is wet!”
On an unrelated yet similarly confounding topic, there’s no such thing as cold - merely a lack of heat! Saying something is getting colder is incorrect. It is actually getting less hot! Temperature is a measure of how fast the atoms in an object move. Faster movement is hotter. So a “cold” object simply has atoms moving with less speed! And there is always at least some movement until you reach absolute zero, at which point the atoms simply fall apart. This is very similar to how dark is not dark, merely the absence of light!

I personally don’t like chunks in my drinks. Something unsettling about the thought of chewing my drink. 🤢
But then that’s just me and my preference I suppose.
I mean, boba milk tea is a thing! 🧋

Yes, in a very large portion.

It is actually just a liquid.

But what about the actual pieces of food in it? Wouldn't that make the broth a drink and not the soup?

This seems like a perfect place to stretch my expertise on the topic
Water can be in a state where it is wet
technically if you have nothing but pure water no minerals or anything else in there the water is saturated by itself or wet because you can't fit anymore water in that water and that water is saturated with water (basically the definition of wet)
but that state is basically unachievable and not measurable, plus the whole H+ and OH- being made every now and then when water spontaneously breaks down making it nearly impossible not to have those ions diffused into the water making it unsustainable in high water quantities, but theoretically if you just have a very small sample of pure water that water can be wet, and stay wet for an extended period of time before an H2O molecule breaks down
Due to this that means most water is dry while very small quantities of that water within it can also be wet but it is nearly impossible for high quantities of water to be wet forever but it is also nearly impossible for a high quantity of water to be completely dry as small groups of just H2O within that water are saturated and therefore wet
So yes water can be wet and have wet spots, and most water is not wet

So in other words, the water is both wet and dry.
Schrodinger’s glass, so to speak. It’s in a state of constant flux, and (if I stretch the analogy a bit), it’s in a state of quantum superposition!

water is water

So let's say that I freeze water and soak that in water. Is it now wet?

Basically yes most water is in a constant quantum superposition where the fluctuation of molecules within the glass molecules moving around constantly shifts wet and dry spaces around throughout its composition and it nearly impossible to keep a container of water purely wet forever due to H2O Molecule bonds not absolute meaning that both at any time the water can go from wet to dry much like Schrodinger's cat

Nope. You are putting a solid into a liquid, but this specific solid cannot be soaked or absorb anything. Depending on the temperature, it can actually disintegrate it.

These devs man they can't even make water wet we should really cry about it in 1500 different topics.

Wet actually refers to molecules being surrounded by water molecules or another liquid. In water, the molecules are actually saturated by other water molecules.
In short: water is, in fact, wet.
I knew that chemistry degree would come in handy some day.

Thank you so much for speaking facts Yords
