    If water makes things wet, and water is surrounded by more water is that water not also wet? 🤔

      I think wetness has to be a solid surface with liquid sticking to it, and since there is no surface, there is no wetness.

      One exception though, ice can be wet (and of course extremely dangerous if it is)

        Ice is a form of water, ergo water is wet^•
