    Considering that water autoionizes, yes - it is both an acid and a base.

    “I’m whatever you aren’t, you fucker” - water, to the substance you mixed with it.

    Little bits of it oscillate between hydronium and hydroxide so a little of both but not enough to make a difference.

      No, this is about water being amphoteric compound meaning it behaves like a acid or base in different circumstances.

        The water molecule is amphoteric in aqueous solution

        A water molecule in aqueous solution. How can you tell it’s being dissolved, or doing the dissolving?

          In high school I was told that one in avagadros number of water molecules splits into ions.
          Is that right? It seems like a very small amount.

    It is the final frontier for either, your meme could have been so much more interesting. SAD.
