Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

They just ended the debate on if water is wet lol

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't say so, and for the same reason they claim water isnt wet i claim water is wet: unless it's just a single molecule, water touches (and even clings to) water. So water is wet.

  • What if you have two molecules of H2O that are below 0°C or above 100°C?
  • What if you have two molecules of some other liquid substance that are also polar like H2O?
[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

I'd say that the liquid phase is implied. Nobody is arguing whether a solid is wet.

And this is just by feel, but I'd say yes. Wetness is polar liquids sticking to stuff.
