why is "water is wet" the response to obvious posts?

[hattrick]

Everyone here responds to obvious posts with "water" as in "water is wet" but why?
Why have we as a community decided to make it the default response to obvious shit? Water being wet isn't obvious. It's been a debate since 2017 with varying perspectives, each with their own weight, reaching different conclusions.

Water could be wet because wetness is when water is on something, and water is always on itself.
It could also be not wet; from a scientific perspective, wetness is the ability of a liquid to adhere to the surface of a solid. There's no solid in water, so water itself is not wet.

I always thought this but never bothered asking
today I ask because

"grass is green" makes more sense tbh

water technically isn't wet, a water molecule isn't surrounded by other water molecules necessarily

this is the correct hypothesis.

Water is wet
Earth is flat
Laundry Basket is a cube in the saggital plane

These are all incorrect statements.

You argue why we use the phrase “water is wet” while chad slays stacies, it never began.
