Ah, so they’re blaming the people responsible then? Good good, carry on.

young americans notice water is indeed, wet

[–] iAmTheTot@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But water is not in and of itself wet.

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes it is. "Wet" means being covered in water. Water is covered in water unless you have a singular free-floating H2O molecule, which you don't. This was a bullshit argument from the very beginning and your pedantry is not doing anyone any favors in a political discussion, least of all yourself.
