The 35 dumbest things said on the internet

Exactly 0% of water is celery.

I suspect a lot of that stuff is people being dumb sounding for comedic effect. Maybe I mean I hope...

Hang on ... some water is celery, isn't it? Celery is (I dunno, say...) 80% water. That water, the stuff that makes up the celery, kind of "is" celery.

The way water is in celery is not the way water is in a bottle - not topologically inside it, but metaphysically as one of its constituents.

Some water is celery, but not much. Thankfully.

In the same way cars have doors, but a car isn't a door or house is made of wood, wood are made from trees but trees are not houses.

That's the in-a-bottle relationship. The metaphysical constituent relationship is different. The water does become part of the celery.

Cars "have" doors. Celery "partly is" water. These relations are different.

You can have a bottle without water, a car without doors, a house without wood, but you cannot have celery completely without water.

The water resides within the celery's cell walls, it is not in solution and can be removed, for example:

If a grocer had a box with 100 pounds of celery that was 99% water and the next day the celery had lost so much water it was only 98% water how many blowjobs would the former Brianna have given for the correct answer.

IOW I reject your celery water conflation.

There exits desiccated powered celery.
Powered celery is celery
There is no water in powered celery.
Therefore celery can exists without water.
