Is lava wet?

On occasion I have wondered this too.
...this might be the most intelligent thread ever posted here.

it's not water-wet, but as for if it FEELS wet... ignoring the heat, i'd guess it feels as wet as honey does? not wet per se but sticky, mostly

These arguments always have more to do with the limitations of language then anything scientific.

You could say its wet by the definition of wet as an adjective and then say its not wet by its definition as a noun or verb

Both positions would be technically right in some ways and also wrong. Most people argue to win not to discuss inorder to find truth which leads to both sides debating endlessly in circles. We like to think the world is black and white, right and wrong ,fact and fiction but often it is simply much more nuanced

Soo... is tape wet ?

The way I see it, if something is wet, that means it's in contact with water.

briefly

LOL salty ass nigger just kys already

"Wet" is not a technical term, but usually associated with the presence of water, which would not exist at those temperatures.

Lava is actually very dense. If you fell on lava, it would be like falling on solid concrete, which is how scientists can walk on it. If somehow lava covered your foot, it would be like having a solid rock on it and you wouldn't be able to lift your foot.
