Shit like this is retarded. The word "wet" only means anything in the context of human experience, so of course humans can feel wet, because we created the concept of wetness.
Just because a bunch of gay nerds redefine 'wet' to mean some super-specific technical thing that only makes sense in their own insular nerdspace doesn't mean you can run around foisting horrible "truths" on people without explaining anything, especially when the shit you're talking about has literally zero effect on anyone's daily life beyond the unpleasant effect of gays trying to depress them with irrelevant information.

Yeah, but us humans can interpolate three cones and rods in tow units into spectrums and long-distance depth perception where the dirty inverts can only works with pointlike vision.
Use a sous vide machine to make the water your exact body temp and the sensation would be bizarre. It would shatter every preconceived notion you had about being wet and water.
I go swimming often so I always kind of knew that. Lying still in a pool with no movement, you stop feeling the water. You can feel the movement in the water and the temperature, but the water itself has no inherent sensation anymore than thin air does.
Riddle me this. What exactly would be the *other* way you feel water? What would be the true definitive sensory organ that would correctly detect the feeling of water? This shit is splitting hairs.
Your asshole can detect water. I think it's the only place on the human body that can sense liquid with any kind of accuracy. You know how you can usually tell when it's liquid shit at the back door instead of a fart wanting out? That's the best we get to feel "wet"
You can tell something apart then you can feel it tho, thats the definition of feeling.
Saying you can't feel wetness due to a very very specific scenario not normally found in nature is like saying you can't see because there are times when the only light that reaches you is UV ir IR.
And saying thats not actually feeling wetness is like saying you can't really hear a frog croak, just the sound the air made in reaction to the croak.
>trivial >just have to know and match your exact temperature >and make sure there is zero air movement >and make sure there is zero pressure
Uh huh
It's hard to imagine or describe what it could possibly be like. Something analogous to the way we feel temperature, but for moistness.
Is there any creature that does this?
Do we know what a hydro-sensing nerve is?

Bugchads keep winning. Maybe in another 100 million years you can get the same level of environmental feel we have. ahah
So bugs can?
That makes sense - their carapace probably is really shitty at detecting temperature and pressure, so they would need dedicated moisture sensory.
It's difficult to tell if your clothes are fully dried out of the dryer. I would just get a towel perfectly damp and warm to where it is impossible to tell how damp it is then show you it is quite damp with a moisture detector.
It's also very trivial to heat water to a precise temperature using an inexpensive sous vide machine...
>It's difficult to tell if your clothes are fully dried out of the dryer.
I have never had this issue. I find it really easy to tell based on how the fabric moves, along with the extra weight the water creates.
But I WAS wrong in that I thought anon was talking about putting water on someone's skin, not having them test whether something else is damp or dry. >It's also very trivial to heat water to a precise temperature
But how do you know what temperature that is?
Do you think everyone's body is the exact same temp?
>damp laundry
I could probably fool you if I laid a warm but damp towel flat on a table and asked you if it was still damp.
I have this heavy jacket with two thick cotton layers to it. It never dries on the first cycle. It's heavy enough where it's hard to tell if it still wet and I always end up putting it on and my arms gets cold really fast because it's still wet.

Yes, if you removed what I said was the easy way to tell, it would be harder to tell.
Who is determining whether a cloth is damp by laying it flat and poking it? >It's heavy enough where it's hard to tell if it still wet
Never been a problem for me. Sounds like you arent as sensitive. >Wireless Rectal thermometer

That's the whole point is that it wouldn't be difficult to create a scenario that would show you that you aren't feeling literal wetness. There are sort of context clues that we use to without thinking to know if something is wet, but you could be fooled because you don't actually feel wetness.
Another one is if you get your socks wet and use a blow dryer to dry them off quickly. You need to check very carefully if they are actually perfectly dry.

YOU do.
I have zero issue telling if the fabric still moves like it is wet and has extra water weight.

Wow, you have fully debased yourself by spewing verbal, dialectical, and rhetorical drivel akin to the infantile musings of someone who believes they can feel wetness. Truly and undeniably sad.
I am simply stating that I could trick most ,if not all, people into believing that a damp towel is dry validating OP's claim that humans cannot really feel wetness. It is a validation of his assertion, while you are merely crumpling up an astute and truthful fact and tossing it into your trashcan. Happily furthering your ignorant and myopic worldview, and understanding of what it truly means to be human.

What it means is efficiency. There is no reaon to have an entirely discrete set of sensors when in all realistic situations water can be detected.

The truth is humans can detect water in all realistic situations, and they do it without ever needing hydroreceptors.
Bugs need that because their external surface is shit for detection, so they waste energy on specific sensory apparatus.
So the other day it was raining and I got completely soaked to the bone working outside and I realized it was only 42 degrees (freedom units) and I still didn't feel cold I guess because I was working? Shouldn't I get hypothermia but I didn't.
What a load of horseshit. Just because I don't have "humidity receptors" or "hygroreceptors" in my skin doesn't mean I can't feel wetness. I can feel the texture of the water or water vapour on my skin and that's all that's needed to know that I'm wet or feel wetness. I cab easily tell when something is dry or wet based on smell, pressure, temperature, sight, touch sound, etc. I DON’T NEED HYGRORECEPTORS. And that isnt "sour grapes" either because I know one of you fags will say this. Probably an insect hand typing that. It's just a simple fact I don't need them.
Only some invertebrates have hygroreceptors anyways. So it's not like we're missing out on something that other mammals have.
Missing the point completely. I'm sure everyone who washes and dries their clothes has taken something that's damp out of the wash only to put it on and you can feel it's heavier and colder than normal atleast once.
if you're talking about between your fingers, sure, but what they're talking about is that I can drizzle water on your skin and if it's perfectly matched to your skin's temp and there's no wind, you won't notice it unless you notice the water impacting your skin.
It's why sensory deprivation chambers work, after you reach homeostasis with the water, you can't feel it anymore unless you touch something.

Your body doesn't accurately determine temperature, just how cold or hot the environment is in relation to your current temperature, so you cannot tell when something is hot. Your brain processes what your rods and cones detect so you don't really see.

Your body would feel the pressure of the water hitting you and the temperature of the water but you could not feel the moisture
Imagine being so primitive that you actually need dedicated wet receptors instead of just knowing you're wet

That's what tbe study says. We need to rely on other senses to perceive what wetness is, because our skin is unable to do it.

And there is no detriment to this.
