hello
how are you
i hope you are well nemo , my dear
sincerely i do ope you are well
now
what take would your characters give on the 'water is wet' discourse , in a full on debate team structure please and thank you
and of course , my well wishes are give and this is indeed for science
Oooooh heyo dear thyme,
I am doing pretty well, it’s a very fine day and the weather is a tad warm but that doesn’t matter, hbu dear author? 😌
I see the very important scientific question that you have must be answered carefully and with details or else we wouldn’t be contributing to science now, would we? 😌
Jesse: “Definitely”: Jesse has debated this before and has their answer prepared, now here’s the thing, if water isn’t wet, how does it make things wet? Like take for example glue right? It’s sticky and makes things sticky, if it isn’t sticky then it wouldn’t make things sticky, take another thing, a lighter for example, a lighter (the flame itself) is hot, and that’s how it melts things right? If it isn’t hot the thing wouldn’t melt in the first place, so like glue > sticky and makes things stick, lighter flame > hot and makes things hot thus melting, water > wet and makes things wet as a result, if a rule works for fire and glue then why shouldn’t it work for water you know, like it’s logical you know.
Allie: “I mean…no?”: At first Allie would question if you’re okay, if you slept well and if you had way too much coffee. again. (but like they're a hypocrite in that department lmao). Okay so, one: physics you know, and two: they believe that water by itself isn’t wet because like, if you get a cup of water, the cup is wet, if you spill it on the table now the table is wet, but water, the material that makes things wet isn’t wet by itself.
Freddie: Gonna deadpan for a couple of seconds before sighing and begrudgingly giving their two cents about this, okay so, if we do say water is wet (which imo it is but alright 😌) then you put it in a cup right? The cup is half filled, then you add more water, does that makes the water that was already in the cup more wet, or does it just increase the volume of water without changing the state of water.
Alex: Would honestly crack up, until they realize…you weren’t joking, prompting them to silently question your sanity, anyhow with them this would take a Ship Of Theseus turn, kinda similar to Freddie’s in a way: okay so let’s say you have a half filled cup of water again, and you add a drop of water, does that make water more wet then? okay so let’s say instead of one drop you make em four? or fifteen? or a hundred? Point is: at which point does water become an object that could be considered “wet” rather than an object that makes thing wet, at which point is ‘this many drops of water’ enough to turn water from a “material” to something that could be affected by other external factor, in this case itself and/or other water drops.
I love this question, I hope I answered it as best as I could and didn’t let you down thyme, please do enjoy this analysis of this very important question 😌
