I’m firmly on the side of “water is not wet” in this debate, but it’s a question that I was asked while I was high and have no answer to it. Water cannot itself be wet because you can’t get water on water. However, what is a fish in a lake? It can’t be wet until it’s taken out of the water, but it’s not dry either. Is it something else?

      Lol, I’ve yet figure out what umami actually tastes like. I know salty, sweet, sour,… but wtf is umami? Every example/description of it sounds completely different. Can I go buy an umami-spice somewhere? Can it even be isolated? Does “umami” actually exist, or was it made up to trigger the shit out of people whenever someone mentions it online??

      K, I’ll see myself out.
