Why is water wet?

Ubiquitous use of chopsticks in south east Asia is another one that gets me stumped. It's rice for christ sakes! Everyone knows a fork is far superior to chopsticks in a rice eating scenario yet our Asian cousins won't embrace it. These are clever, innovative people I'm talking about. These folks are the very same folks who invented gunpowder and paper, which combined together dictated the past and sets the trajectory of our future, they're no idiots. But chopsticks? Can't get me head around it. Those people with the funny accents that live in fancy camper vans are a strange breed too, apparently they all marry off as teenagers in favour of taking up careers but to me they look like they have fairly high paying jobs with extremely flexible hours. You wouldn't be driving a new Audi worth a hundred grand on a plumbers wage, not too shabby regardless of what they work at so fair play. I also can't figure out why we still haven't voted the shinners in and I wonder what's the crack with the whole pro life crowd, you never hear anything from the anti life crowd. I'm wondering if the anti life crowd even exists, and if they do whats Trumps involvement? I'd like to hear the puzzling issues and perceived injustices keep you lot awake a little longer than everyone else at night.

water is damp, not wet

All Chinese dishes are prepared in such a way to be edible with chopsticks. That means the rice clumps together and meat is in bite size portions. They have been using them for thousands of years, but OP thinks it doesn't work for some reason.

OP you are cooking the fscking rice wrong.

Excellent lack of paragraphs though, normally only found in the PI forum. I commend you.

Water is only wet if you are hydrophilic.

Water doesn't wet hydrophobic things.

Also the rice thing is that real rice is sticky not like that Uncle Ben's stuff where they scrape off all the goodness.

Water isn't wet, objects it comes into contact become wet.

As for our cousins renting expensive cars before making the trip to Mecca Rathkeale...

I'd say read between the lines, but in this case its all one line. That guy Srameen nailed it.

Oh right I mention rice and you automatically assume im taking a shot at the Chinese? That's a bit of a blinkered view. That could be easily misconstrued and might offend a lot of people.
