Kinda, but not really. Deuterium exists naturally in more or less the ratio as it has since the solar system first coalesced.
Also, deuterium is a component of heavy water, but the term "deuterium" actually referred to the specific isotope of hydrogen where the nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron, as opposed to a single proton (which is the more common isotope)
Interestingly enough, in other solvents a neutral pH is going to be a different value. IIRC, ammonia has an autoionization constant of 10^-30, so a neutral pH would be 15
That's why the meme works. It's not because water autoionizes; it's because water is amphoteric, meaning it can act as either a Brønsted-Lowry acid or BL base depending on what what it's reacting with. Put water with ammonia, and water acts as an acid. Put water with acetic acid, and it acts as a base

Close, the standard IUPAC acid nomenclature would be "hydrohydroxic acid"
See, this doesn't really work anymore, now that he convincingly won the popular vote in November.
He actually does have broad support from the racists, nihilists, and bigots that make up the conservative voting bloc (and apparently a sizeable portion of independents, as well).
November proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the US is still a bunch of racist assholes, and it bums me out.
Fa sho, beltalowda
Ibn Al-Haytham be with you
Edit: and I suppose the traditional response would be "and Popper with you"
Those people are strangely quiet when it's a conservative-leaning meme, so I've learned to, as you say, tell them to get bent.
I can think of no better situation for the phrase "fuck you and the horse you rode in on"
What's the opposite of "eating the onion?" I was sure when I saw this headline it was an Onion article, only to find out it's apparently true; do we have a term for that yet?
Fair. I'm still of the opinion that a good sauce can save a mediocre meal and that's not necessarily a problem, but I respect your opinion as well
I'm not sure I agree; think about barbeque, Mexican food, Chinese food, curry, salad dressing... Hell, eggs benedict. Ask any chef if sauce is important, and they'll tell you that there's traditionally an entire position in high-end kitchens dedicated almost exclusively to sauces (saucier). Since a sauce can be as much an integral part of a meal as the breading on the chicken, I tend to disagree.
Your preferred style of fried chicken sandwich may not heavily feature sauce, but other styles do.
Autoionization and the reverse reaction are constantly happening in water, and when the reaction is happening at the same rate forward and backward the system is said to be "at dynamic equilibrium" (aka, stuff is happening, but there's no net change)
In pure water, the equilibrium concentration of hydronium and hydroxide are equal, so it's said to be neutral. At room temperature, that equilibrium concentration is approximately 1*10^-7 moles per liter, which gives a pH of 7 (since pH is defined as the negative log _10 of hydronium concentration)
