I wonder why water is wet...

Ah, the classic ‘Is water wet?’ debate. Alright—water itself isn’t wet.(imma trying to give an input, no hate!)
Wetness is just how we describe something when a liquid sticks to it.
Like, if you spill water on your shirt, your shirt is wet.
But water? It’s just... water. (or maybe not)
It doesn’t need to be wet, it just exists. (yeah,hope so i am correct)
But at the same time, we only experience wetness because of water, so in a way, it’s like water is the CEO of wetness but doesn’t actually apply to itself...............(that's what the safari says ngl)
Kinda weird, right? Anyway, now my brain hurts.

I like this, it would make a great excuse, "I didn't wet the bed, as the wetness doesn't apply to itself, so therefore we're all good" lol :).

So what is it that sticks to water molecules in, say, a lake or the ocean? Right, other water molecules. So according to your definition water is wet.
