Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

By definition, only solids can get wet, so no, adding water to water doesn't make it wet.
So a frozen cube of water can by your description get wet with the water when put in a glass of said water.
What you are describing, is ice, a solid, not simply water, which is a liquid. This changes this scenario.
No, not really. Water needs to adhere to the surface of the solid and water doesn't adhere to a cube of ice, so no.
Water wets on to ice. It's a verb. For a physical effect. That does happen to water.
If you want to be pedantic, be correct.
I'm joking. Calm down, get a good calming wet shower.
I hadn't even downvoted you, and now you made me.
Oh shit!
I downvoted you both. For balance!
