  Hi kylebutters,
  
  Who knows. There may be some things covered in water-hating substances like oils which will never feel wet, just greasy…

  I’ve seen a Facebook page with this question! 😉
  
  I’d be guessing, but will say no. Anyone got a really good answer for it?

  Not if you were in a dry suit!

  I guess not, but I am not basing this on anything scientific, just my own experience! When you dive underwater and grab something, it doesn’t feel wet as it is surronded by water already. I only feel the sensation of wetness when something s out of the water. So my best guess is no!

  Wow cool question, cos it immediately makes me think..would we even know what wet was if everything was wet..because there would be no dry to compare it too. like if everything tasted sweet would it still be sweet or just that taste everything tatses of..
  
  maybe shouldn’t have answered this at 23:52 as may keep me up thinking about it…but blimey nice idea for a question
  
  hmmmmm
