If you take something from me, you didn't take anything from me. Who/What am I?

The ocean*?

You take a drop from the ocean, it doesn't change anything.

You are definitely on the right track. Technically, you DID took something from the ocean, even though it is just a small drop.

Not what I myself had in mind. Definitely not the expected answer. What gives, Dudio?! You ran out of bugtrons?

Nice answers both. But, towr's idea is cast in the same mold as mine. My lips are sealed. For now. Lol.

A hint?

If we get a hint from you, we didn't take it away from you, right?

Fine. You win. But I still await the expected answer.

I have no idea.

The expected answer is: [hide]infinity.[/hide] You asked for it, (hu)man!

If you share a dollar, you both have half a dollar.
If you share an idea, you both have an idea.
