Because he squeezes them too hard.I squeeze myself too hard.
That’s why it isn’t growing.
When is water wet?

Lets see if im still blocked by faux. Yep
.."wetting"
..." A clean glass surface, by contrast, has -OH groups sticking out of it which readily attach to water molecules through hydrogen bonding; this causes the water to spread out evenly over the surface, or to wet it. A liquid will wet a surface if the angle at which it makes contact with the surface is more than 90°. The value of this contact angle can be predicted from the properties of the liquid and solid separately. "..
.." Wetting
Take a plastic mixing bowl from your kitchen, and splash some water around in it. You will probably observe that the water does not cover the inside surface uniformly, but remains dispersed into drops. The same effect is seen on a dirty windshield; turning on the wipers simply breaks hundreds of drops into thousands. By contrast, water poured over a clean glass surface will wet it, leaving a uniform film. "

..." The four electron pairs surrounding the oxygen tend to arrange themselves as far from each other as possible in order to minimize repulsions between these clouds of negative charge. This would ordinarly result in a tetrahedral geometry in which the angle between electron pairs (and therefore the H-O-H bond angle) is 109.5°. However, because the two non-bonding pairs remain closer to the oxygen atom, these exert a stronger repulsion against the two covalent bonding pairs, effectively pushing the two hydrogen atoms closer together. The result is a distorted tetrahedral arrangement in which the H—O—H angle is 104.5°. "..

It is a Chuck Norris joke. Such as “When Chuck Norris slices onions, the onions cry.”
What's the difference between an accordion and an onion?
Nobody cries when you chop up an accordion.

gotta be the tree falling in the forest thing.Nope. No tree thing. It's legit.
I still think #15 is a legit, and correct answer, wet is a sensation, if there is no one perceiving it as wet, then it isn't wet. Just like the old adage, if a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody there to hear it, did it make a sound? No, it made a vibration, a vibration only becomes a sound when it hits an eardrum and is perceived as sound.
As for most disliked word, without consulting my preferred search engine [not google] my personal favorite is "if." Anything following 'if' in a logic test must assume is not currently true, or the question would not be asked, and, therefore, 'if' cannot justify what follows as a 'then' expression.According to Ladders [theladders.com: https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/these-are-the-9-most-hated-words-in-the-english-language ]the most hated English word is: moist. This from a series of surveys Ladders did. I don't follow the reasoning, and I'd hold with my 'if' suggestion, but moist is many someones' suggestion.
I didn't get it when I first read it, so I asked five people if there was a word they hated most, three of them said "moist".
Whatever [Ladder's 3rd most hated word]
I think that's the word I hate most.
That or "literally", when people use it to emphasize an exaggeration.
I've hated hearing that literally a billion times.

It's a literal waterfall of sweat and excitement.

So you know what it feels like to get wet?

.." If we want water to wet a surface that is not ordinarily wettable, we add a detergent to the water to reduce its surface tension. A detergent is a special kind of molecule in which one end is attracted to H2O molecules but the other end is not, so these ends stick out above the surface and repel each other, cancelling out the surface tension forces due to the water molecules alone."...

@Sidewalker
Both of you win the prize. I'm inquiring with Mods to see about some official DA recognition.
Zed, you launched the ship.
"... is a single water molecule in the middle of the ocean wet?"
The answer is: yes.
Walker, you have the helm and the navigation map, posting within Zed's post by a few hours; he, lacking the exact number of molecules, but knowing that had relevance.
Well done to both.
It is correct, the solve is the number of water molecules collected together. Five in a cluster is insufficient to exhibit wetness; six or more linked together are wet.
Walker, you are correct: my source was a New Scientist article from February 1997

Do you count the molecules in water when you are swimming?

Can't see them to count. Wouldn't I electrocute myself if I brought an electron microscope into water with me?

If water doesn’t feel wet to you, you will have to add more molecules to make it wet.

But, as noted previously, the smallest number of water molecules the can be clustered together to express wetness is six molecule; much too small on an adult human scale to swim in.

He can just rub the six molecules on his body to get the feeling of wetness after he finishes swimming in water.
