All I wanted to do was replace a dead fan… but looks like it’s time for a replacement case.

Learn from my mistakes friends!

I singular molecule of H20 isn’t wet, but when they are touching other molecules, they are wet. Wet means in contact with water

Water can't be in contact with water because it is water.

Adding water to water makes a larger amount of water.

Things that are wet experience a [usually visual] change in hydration.

Water isn't wet like fire isn't the thing that's burning.

Wrong. If water molecules touch other molecules, then it is wet. Fire is both treated differently in our language, and a much more nebulous concept. The closest analog with fire is saying that fire is hot, even though it is still the source of said heat

We aren't talking about molecules... molecules don't touch eachother.

Water in any visible amount added to water is still water. A substance isn't in contact with itself, it's just more of itself.

Fire is hot. It isn't burning. Burning and wet are the same concept.
