Swimming in warm water in the summertime. Placing the final piece of a puzzle that’s taken you months to complete. ‘Roasting’ someone online with a comeback so witty and so savage, they had to call the ‘Oh Snap’ and fire brigades. All three things have one thing in common—they’re all human experiences that make us feel gooood.
The ‘Clever Comebacks’ subreddit is one of the best places on the net to go to for awesome retorts that will forever be enshrined on the internet in online screenshots. Check out some of the most on-point and hilarious comebacks they posted ever. Remember to upvote your fave ones and we hope they’ll inspire you to show off your wit the next time someone says something dumb or has a go at you.
Bored Panda was interested to learn about what makes comebacks witty and about comedic timing, so we reached out to comedy writer and author of 'How to Live to 100,' Ariane Sherine. Read on to learn what she told us. What’s the best comeback that you’ve ever said or heard in real life, dear Readers? Do you think that the pen is mightier than the sword? Share your thoughts with all of us in the comments.

I Understand Completely
This makes me sad. And if hell is real I’m sure all the conquistadors are there
Hell is real for a lot of people. Right here on earth. War, illness, exploitation, slavery, etc, etc, etc.
Load More Replies...As a Christian, I just want to apologize for the horrific ways in which those who have claimed the faith have gone about sharing the Gospel (which means "Good News") in ways that dishonor and break the heart of the God they were/are supposed to represent. I'm pretty sure a bunch of those Spaniards did not end up where they thought they were going.
Yh, I agree. They used heaven and christianity as an excuse to make slaves out of people and slaughter them. Two things the gospel clearly doesn't agree with.
Load More Replies...Another one for all the lazy people who claim that religion is inherently benign, that it causes no harm.
Greed. The conquistadors murdered approximately 56 million South Americans--90% of the population by 1600. Scientists now believe this mass genocide resulted in a dip in the world's temperature.

I bet this same guy thinks he's qualified to talk about abortion even though he can't give birth.
I have seen this before on bored panda, and personally i liked a comment that said "men, you can't give birth, sit down when abortions are discussed". I think Foxxy (the original) said it
Oh, pooh. I think you're right. I knew I heard it here. She's very clever.

I am a Christian who is agrees with the fact that people from different nations should be able to come to the U.S. and that it is amazing how they are so successful and become lawyers, doctors, writers and much more. I also support the LGTBQ+ community completely and most of my friends are apart of it. Not all “Christians” are horrible judging hypocritical people.

I had a teacher survive the Cambodian Genocide and now him and his 5 siblings are doctors!
Comedy writer Ariane told Bored Panda that, in her opinion, witty comebacks can be both spontaenous and planned out. "I've definitely come up with comebacks that are spontaneous. For instance, I told my daughter that if she didn't behave, I'd give her inheritance to a donkey sanctuary. She said, 'You wouldn't', and I came back, 'You bet your ass!' But though I hadn't used that comeback before, I clearly had knowledge of the pun and might have used something similar in the past."
She also pointed out something that honestly took me by surprise: "When it comes to stand-up, a lot of heckle putdowns are scripted and shared among comics." And here I thought that heckles were all instinctive and natural. I'll have to rethink some stuff about my fave comedians now.

Load More Replies...Nice! In my Social studies class, we learned that originally historians thought that men did the hunting and women did the cleaning in prehistoric human society. But, a more recent study found that the men and the women shared the hunting and cooking! Gender equality for the win :D
My husband and I are both equally shredded and now the world fears us.
I literally have a friend who has a real thing, SPECIFICALLY, for women with abs... That exact thing. It's not about looking manly, it's that toned flat tummy. Looking fit and healthy. Looking like you can keep up on a hike and play sports together, do their favorite things with them. Some guys will tell you nothing is sexier than a woman who gets sports. Simultaneously I'm the wimpiest martha stewart in a 5ft nothing package and my boyfriend still loves me. Men should not say what "men want", because men want different things. All are valid.
Absolutely. When I met my husband I was 5'3", 98 lbs. And he thought I was beautiful. I'm now 5'2 3/4" (yes, I've shrunk) and 168 lbs. and he still thinks I'm beautiful.

Load More Replies..."I go everywhere and rarely meet any Biden supporters" BECAUSE THEY ARE OBEYING SOCIAL DISTANCE RESTRICTIONS. *headdesk to an exponent of ten*
How to find out who is a Biden supporter and who is not.... Biden supporter: wearing facemask, respectful Trump supporter: not wearing facemask, coughing in ppl's face.
Lol, love it! What annoys me about the situation in America right now is the way that Trump supporters, and even Trump himself, can't believe that that many people voted for Joe Biden! Just because they wouldn't vote for him, doesn't mean everyone else shares their point of view! There are, what's it up to now 80 million votes for Biden, whatever the figure is let's say 80m, there are 80m people in the US that can't believe anyone would vote for Trump, it goes both ways! But, yes, their (Trump, and Trump supporters) attitudes towards the election annoy me greatly! And that's before we even get to the part of her "going everywhere" during a bloody global pandemic, probably not wearing a mask to boot!
Ariane said that the line between a regular comeback and one that makes us snort into our cups of tea is clear for everyone to see. "It needs to be very fast, well-timed, and take people by surprise as well as being clever, witty, and immediately understandable." So no pressure then!
The beauty of comedy, according to Ariane, is that (sometimes) our subconscious mind kicks in and takes us by surprise, along with the audience. "But that's relatively rare in my experience. I'm sure many other comics are more natural than I am!
Please Wear A Mask And Stay Safe
A mask protects people from you. It doesn't protect you from other people. Since you are contagious before having symptoms, you wear a mask to prevent being a spreader.
The CDC recently announced cloth masks do provide two-way protection. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/masking-science-sars-cov2.html
The bigger issue is that people have gown to be so selfish, they can't even comprehend making a minor sacrifice to benefit their fellow humans.

That's not how our masks work. They're to protect OTHER PEOPLE from YOU. Not the other way round. If you're in healthcare, then you may have ones that protect you.
THIS... so much THIS!! These anti-maskers are so much like anti-vaxxers... all they do is repeat a false information talking point, with no genuine foundation of understanding.
Load More Replies...Do these idjits not understand that we wear masks to protect each other? Try reading up on things instead of relying on information that comes from people COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED to give out valid advice.
Actually, your masks protects everyone else but yourself. If you wear a mask in the presence of somebody who does not, you are the one in danger.

Thank You Andy Wang!
cultural gatekeeping has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen. The best and most inclusive societies culturally appropriate all. the. time.
Exactly. While cultural appropriation is, in some cases, a real thing, 99% of the incidents people are freaking out over is absolute BS, this being one of them. Cultural appropriation is specifically the disrespectful adoption of meaningful elements of a culture without recognition by privileged group. In this case, I don't think anybody is erasing where these holidays came from, nor are they celebrating in a way that's disrespectful to the holiday's origins. This person needs to do their research on what cultural appropriation really is
Load More Replies...You might also say, "You can't celebrate lunar new year if you're not from Earth!"
Of course I can’t speak on behalf of the Chinese but I always thought it was a celebration they encourage anyone to be a part of. Please correct me if I am wrong though, I do not mean any disrespect. I know that in Aus we have celebrations for the Lunar New Year and everyone is welcome.
I think most celebrations are made to be inclusive. Hospitality and sharing are big parts of every culture on Earth - except Sentinels island.
Load More Replies...Yeah, why try to connect to other people and their culture if we can just sit all by ourself and stick to our own stuff? Pff, who needs multi-cultural interests?
Can someone explain to me without being a idiot or superior? I don't really understand this thing of cultural appropriation. If white X bride the hair is, but if black Y , put relaxer, straight the hair and paint blonde and even put a clear makeup then her skin tone nobody calls culture appropriation. It's a serious question and maybe silly but is a honest question.
The issue of Black hair has had essays and documentaries dedicated to it. It's actually bordering on political in the USA. Nothing that could be covered adequately in a BP comments section. As a white non-US woman, my understanding is naturally limited, but from what I gather there is a lot of pressure on Black women especially to alter their natural hair because it doesn't look beautiful/tidy/professional (not my opinion, but that's what wider society imposes). Here in the UK there is much less fuss about white people having traditionally Black hairstyles. When Adele dressed up for the Notting Hill Carnival with braids it was the Americans who kicked up a stink, I don't think Black Brits are so bothered. Could be wrong, of course, I don't have that many Black friends and I don't want to burden them with these conversations when I do see them.
Load More Replies...Cultural appropriation is only wrong when you’re using it as a way to mock or bastardize a culture. Otherwise it’s appreciation
I love culture, I love music, dress,art,language,dance ,history and its what makes us truly global and respect and love other cultures. I have been lucky enough to travel the globe and it is full on wonder. If we only did things from our "own culture" what a boring world it would be. That is where racism lives, to isolate yourself from another cultures treasures means you dont understand it or love it.
Friendly reminder: The US is a melting pot of cultures. I'm not Mexican, but I make and eat tacos. I'm not Armenian, but I listen to System of a Down. Being exposed to a wide variety of cultures is literally the best thing about living in the US.
Friendly Reminder that we have to sort out our issues before we meet the aliens or we're gonna be in trouble.
The ‘Clever Comebacks’ community was founded in January 2018 and will be celebrating its 3-year anniversary very soon. In that time, they’ve amassed nearly 679k loyal members who are practicing the ancient art of the perfect comeback.
Personally, I think that comebacks are all about accurate, piercing, rapier-like wit. And the essence of wit is brevity, spontaneity, and stating the truth. It’s not a comeback if you spend an hour thinking about it and then another hour writing it out. Comebacks are the sniper rifles of the verbal battlefield. Not shotguns. Not machine guns. It’s all about one phrase—one roast.
The BBC tends to agree with my point of view. According to Rhea Wessel, witty comebacks can’t be planned—they can only be made in the moment. And timing is everything. Even if you come up with the perfect thing you could’ve said while you’re in the shower a day later, that amazing comeback is useless now. Too little. Too late.
I Don’t Care If Repost Made Me Laugh
It's true, if they hated gay people so much, then why do they spend all their time with gay people. Even God had no time for people he didn't like, he just murdered them and told the people he liked to get on a boat
This reminds me of something that someone much smarter than me once said: The people who go around saying that homosexuality is a choice must also believe that they are choosing to be straight. Ergo suppressing their own homosexual desires. That could explain why so many outspoken anti-gay preachers and politicians end up getting caught shimmying down a drainpipe trying to leave a 25 man orgy (as happened recently in Hungary - edited to add it happened in Belgium but the politician was Hungarian)
Why do people use their religion as an excuse to attack gay people? Like, personally, I don't know you, and I don't care what religion you are, just get out of my face. I'm not religious so quit trying to force your religion down my throat. When I say "stop it" I mean it.

Why can't people just let people live? I hate that people hide behind the bible to treat people badly. It is one of the many reasons I ran from Christianity. Just let people live and be happy!! It takes more effort to hurt people than to make someone smile.
When I hear people rail about homosexuality, I ask them in what position that person and their spouse have sex. I figure if they're going to stick their nose into someone's bedroom, so can I. Shockingly, they get offended.

He's never going to be able to go protest without thinking of this now. Good.
Load More Replies...All he has to do is read a little bit more into it. The translation was not accurate and the context regards incest, not homosexuality. I know bigoted homophobes are totally against researching and thinking for themselves though
the passages of the Bible they quote prohibit rape--it's not about homosexuality.

Adam and Eve. The first humans who did not read the Apple terms and conditions before agreeing.
Actually, apples were not known to the original writers, so the fruit in its original text was probably not an apple, but a fig.
Load More Replies...Oof, never thought about that before but it is true. And apparently we have been suffering the consequences for thousands of years after the fact. AND we had nothing to do with it. I thought God was meant to be fair and loving.
This is just my opinion, but I'm actually not sure if the events in the Garden of Eden would have affected us either way. I mean, look at humanity now. It seems almost IMPOSSIBLE that someone along the line would have sinned anyways. Adam and Eve were just the first
Load More Replies...No. One of the first things God ever did was set Adam and Eve up to fail. Neither one was aware of the concepts of good and evil until AFTER they had eaten from the Tree. Yet God not only punished them, but also the entire human race until the end of time. Omnibenevolent, my ass.
Look, we would sin no matter what, stealing, crimes, murder. God didnt "set" Adam and Eve to fail. They took the fruit even when God said not to. The Devil tempted them to do it. The human race would have sinned no matter what. We still sin now, everyday. So therefore we never deserve to stop being punished. Unless you can tell me that you have never sinned before????

that's right, countries that looted/colonized other countries usually put their stuff in their museums.
Load More Replies...That’s actually the beauty of comebacks. Sometimes, you end up just as surprised by your wit as everyone else is. It’s like, for a single beautiful moment, the Spirit of Absolute Roasting possessed you and gave you glorious guidance.
Abigail Paul, the artistic director at the Theatre Language Studio in Frankfurt, told the BBC that we can improve our wit by giving ourselves just a bit of extra time to craft a great answer. Strangely enough, that involves becoming a better listener. We need to train ourselves to listen to others and respond appropriately, instead of tuning out and only thinking about the points we want to make in the discussion. That way, you’ll be more than ready to mount a witty defense because you won’t be caught unaware.
This Is A Really Good Reply To Trump's Tweet

Well, to be honest I rage against machines quite often. Usually my work laptop.
music is sometimes used to express political opinions, you don't like it, listen to someone else, but don't complain about political music just because you missed the message in the lyrics the first time
Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
There's two versions to these pictures. I was always taught the other version. That someone said she was so beautiful she would make even a potato sack look good. Not as mean spirited as the other version.
Supposedly, in 1951, Marilyn Monroe attended a party at the Beverly Hills Hotel wearing a red dress. The “provocative”, low cut dress, drew the ire of a female columnist, who called her ‘cheap and vulgar’. She even went on to say that Monroe would have looked better wearing a potato sack. A few days later, Twentieth Century Fox took advantage of the situation and organized a photo shoot that saw Monroe posing in a potato sack dress, that was designed especially for her. Another story is that someone at 20th Century Fox said, "Marilyn could make a potato sack look sexy." Both are probably apocryphal and it was a clever, but very memorable PR stunt.
She was a size 4-6 for most of her career, which wasn't unusual for actors back then. She had an extreme hourglass figure as well, with a tiny waist and a big bust. She was never plus-sized though, as some people like to claim she was.

Life is not beautiful though, it has been scientifically observed that we're here to suffer and fight to survive which is not beautiful or fun. We have the almighty luck of being human and having a protective "anti-nature" bubble, society, that allows us to do things other than just surviving. That is somewhat beautiful, not very much, because society is a mirror of the s**t dog-eat-dog nature out there, but it's fine.

What kind of relationship is that. We don’t have his money or my money, it is OUR money.
After having been in a not-so-very-healthy relationship, I can tell you, there's very much going to be a "my money" and a "his money" and a joint account for joint expenses. IF I ever decide to start dating again, because frankly, I really don't feel like it.

Flat Earthers Make Me Happy Because I Know I'm Not A Complete Failure
Is this just a joke to tease flat earthers or do flat earthers actually use the “flat” horizon as their argument? Do they not realise that we can’t see the curve because the earth is so large.
Sorry, Foxxy, but some do use that as an argument. The mental gymnastics required to stick to their beliefs in the face of evidence that *sometimes they themselves generate on camera* is truly staggering
Load More Replies...I recall reading a post by a guy who'd been booted from a Reddit flatearth sub for asking how many people had been pushed over the edges because of the need for social distancing
I cannot understand this flat earther crap. And I quote, (via NASA website) It has actually been known that the Earth was round since the time of the ancient Greeks. I believe that it was Pythagoras who first proposed that the Earth was round sometime around 500 B.C. As I recall, he based his idea on the fact that he showed the Moon must be round by observing the shape of the terminator (the line between the part of the Moon in light and the part of the Moon in the dark) as it moved through its orbital cycle. Pythagoras reasoned that if the Moon was round, then the Earth must be round as well. After that, sometime between 500 B.C. and 430 B.C., a fellow called Anaxagoras determined the true cause of solar and lunar eclipses - and then the shape of the Earth's shadow on the Moon during a lunar eclipse was also used as evidence that the Earth was round.
Around 350 BC, the great Aristotle declared that the Earth was a sphere (based on observations he made about which constellations you could see in the sky as you travelled further and further away from the equator) and during the next hundred years or so, Aristarchus and Eratosthenes actually measured the size of the Earth!

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills. (I had to look it up) BT_2019051...8796c5.jpg

Dark and dirty slums without water, heating and toilets, overcrowded, inhabitated by underpaid industry workers, few families in every flat. This was quite normal before that terrible socialist modernism came and create public housing, planned neighbourhoods with green areas, light and schools so the people could finally live in decent conditions.
And they just had to rob, enslave and kill millions of people to do it, what ingenious people they were! Also, France and Belgium really needed an upgrade right? Paris especially was a great example of dark and dirty slums at the time. And all those poor jews with all their art collections, beautiful mansions and economic power were really living in insufferable conditions before the war.

I think I just don't consider them special enough.

How do you be a coach when you're *that* obese? How do you even stand and move around for an entire game?
Coaches don't move much, actually. They are mostly showpieces on the field (well, you can't miss them) and politicians off the field. Fat cats bring the pork, we say in American politics. Note that most winning American football coaches were never award-winning players, just good functionaries. Soccer (football everywhere else) takes the better players into coaching, and, although I may be mistaken, do they not have to work out with the team, too? American football is about short-burst action with power, not long-term running with skill. Also, look at American soccer coaches here: they resemble their European and Latin American counterparts, not their fellow Americans looking at a touchdown. -from the son of a college quarterback, and former college professor who refused to pass the jocks unless they worked for it

Your duties are what you and your partner freely consent to. Relationships are truly a "figure out your own rules scenario," and not impose them on others.

He just wants attention. He's asking social media to congratulate him on his high intelligence when, in reality, he's probably never even set eyes on a real MENSA test. If he is actually as intelligent as he purports to be, he wouldn't need to ask if he's intelligent in the first place.
Really doesn't make sense. For one, different tests give different results. Secondly, you don't know until you find out. And, these tests assess aptitude, not knowledge. Kid is probably gloating and, but your response actually sounds like you're jealous. And it's common.

Now, a 14 year old kid scoring just outside of what on a suitable test is definitively considered genius gets excited about their score - is that surprising? Jealousy of intelligence... you'd think a few more might offer encouragement, and many fewer attempts to sabotage...
Load More Replies...But that's not true! MENSA doesn't have tests for animals! It's for humans only. Kid has a high IQ, bordering on genius.

In the US your ZIP code defines your chances in life. Living in the wrong ZIP code will deprive you of human rights. You won't be able to take out a loan or mortgage, won't have access to education, are destined for low paying job and criminalization by the police force. Living in the wrong ZIP code also means that councils allow polluting industries to build their factories close to your place of living. As a result living in the wrong ZIP code makes your lifespan shorter.
There's no discrimination against zip codes - there is discrimination against people who live in certain zip codes. A lot of that is discrimination against POC, but poor whites, in Appalachia for example, also suffer from regional discrimination.

RIP Elias P. Chicken 2nd June 2020 - 6th July 2020 ...now I feel bad. :(
90% of meat products would have a date range, e.g. sausage containing meat from animals killed over weeks, and/or months ago, as it's stored frozen and transported first. UK sheep from NZ, US beef from Brazil.

The "Ok, boomer" thing just needs to die. When will people see that this generational war is serving no one?
As the voice of Gen X, we're fine with the Boomer v. Millennial war. Fight on.
Load More Replies...I don't feel "millennials are killing x" OR "ok boomer" are good things, both are bad. Both are stereotyping a generation, and excluding the exceptions. I understand if you feel someone is putting you in a box- but there are other ways to stand up for yourself, than putting them in a box. It will not help them understand how you feel, nor will it stop them, you're just sinking to their level.
I'm fine with the "millennials are killing..." comments/articles because whatever is being killed is usually a good thing. Oh no, we're buying less diamonds, paper products, single use plastics, what horrible people would do such a thing!?!

Baby Boomers are called that because after WW2, there was a 'boom' of babies being born after all the soldiers came home. In no way is it an insult or anything negative. It has somehow become fashionable to denigrate everyone and everything possible.

The best part was what she replied with *after* he panicked. It was something along the lines of 'We're sorry, your response cannot be validated as correct. Proof of published threat to life and property has been verified. You will be notified as to when you will have an opportunity to defend your actions and words. Case pending. Have a nice day.'
I think this is the same lady as that Mano guy in a post a while back.

Well... There's the Rotavirus vaccine, taken orally. Just like the polio one.
actually, there are two polio vaccines, Salk and Sabin. Salk is the one used in the US. It is injected. the sabin is oral and cheaper, but has some rare side effects. it is used in immunazation campaigns. Salk vaccines are expensive and harder to give to large amounts of people, but safer.
Load More Replies...But... you can absolutely drink an injectable vaccine and it won't kill you. It won't work, because it needs to be in your bloodstream and not in your gastrointestinal tract, but...
Yes! Not sure about the taste but if you can safely inject something into your body, you can also eat/drink it safely.

The sooner you Americans wake up to the fact that you have and are still being fleeced / robbed by the very system that is supposed to help you when you and your families are in need of healthcare through no fault of your own, the better. There is no other country in the World - mostly - that would stand idly by and let some of it's most vulnerable and sickest citizens suffer and die because they don't have the correct 'insurance'. Not only is it cruel but also uncaring and downright sadistic...... Glad I live in a half way decent country ....
I really dont understand why Americans put up with your crazy healthcare system. Its tragic.
I mean....American health insurance is f*****g bullshit anyway so like, maybe the cancer patient did spend all of they're money? It's possible.
As a Brit. even despite our apology for a Justice system, bent coppers and lawyers et al, I can never praise our NHS health care service to highly. Every day i count my blessings and those of others who have benefited from this remarkable construction. Long may it continue, and thanks again to all concerned with it.
Load More Replies...Stupid Millennials
But the old guy is right. There are totally superfluous warnings on anything you buy these day. Can of paint: "Not for internal use" Barbeque: "Not for use indoors" Chainsaw:" Keep away from children."
A lot of it has to do with cultural expectations of knowledge. Appliances used to be fairly deadly! You invested in them, trained in their operation and maintained a high degree of situational awareness while you were around them. Once people began to grow up around electrical appliances, they didn't read the training manuals, and didn't understand the seriousness of the safety practices they needed to observe. People don't read. Warning labels absolve manufacturers of people's stupidity by putting the warning right. there.
But really though, those labels are to defend the company. Like the MCDonald "hot" cup. It's not to warn you that it's hot, it's so you can't sue when you get 3rd degree burns from the molten hot coffee.

I'm french and i've encountered "Tressy", "Jenifer" ( told jenifair), "Djason", "Rayane" (Ryan)... and "Kévin" is the winner because it's like a meme in France, Kévin is like the archetype of the uneducated french white trash. American names are like a brand for the french white trash, a stamp of authenticity, like french names for american restaurants that don't serve any french food, both think it's classy, but it's not.

The word murder also doesn't appear in the Constitution. But it's still not right. Genocide too. Oh, and Holocaust
Where does the Constitution stand on wifi and nail polish? It's almost as if it's not a practical guide to life.
Load More Replies...The word abortion doesn’t appear in the bible either but it still doesn’t stop the religious folk.
However, it does state that unborn people are people too and you shouldn't kill people. "The word of the Lord came to me, saying "before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:4-5) and "you shall not murder." (Exodus 20:13). This is probably going to be downvoted, but people should at least be informed of "the religious folk's" opinions and the reasoning behind them.

"Millenials Are Killing The Big House Market"
I'm sorry, but someone whose biggest problem is "Woe is me, I can't sell my mansion" doesn't garner a lot of my sympathy.
Because $8 an hour isn't a living wage & going into life long debt via student loans ..... You are so right. I should stop bitching about getting paid so little & borrow thousands of dollars from a bank to get a degree to get a job that'll pay $13 an hour instead!
Alternatively, stay put, shut up and enjoy living in your big house ; if you bought it as an 'investment' I have no sympathy. If, when you do finally sell it for whatever reason, and you lose money no tears will be shed by me and many, many others ........

The agenda isn't hidden. Villains always care about the money. Environmentalists care about the resources themselves, and their continued availability to everyone.

Um, no ; the Plague (in it's various forms and timescales) was caused by a parasite in fleas carried by rats which primarily arrived in coastal towns from trading ships, then the plague was spread by people moving from town / village to other towns / villages ; having a screen anywhere (had they existed) would be as useless as as a chocolate teapot .....
Uhm, pretty sure no one had windows (with glass) nor netting / mesh whatever at that time. Also, fleas probably find their way in anyway
Glass is very old stuff. Medieval stained glass is incredible.

Don’t come to Aus then, the C word is used countless times in a sentence.
Considering the actual meaning of the word is “old friend,” I see no problem with that! But then again, I think it’s dumb that people get so offended by words. Not racial slurs, of course, just regular words. Poop is ok but not sh*t? Stupid.

Going to another country and complaining about the people there.....
My mom grew up in Australia. She says (c word) is derogatory to women and terrible in America, but in Australia and Britain it has a different meaning. You call everyone a (c word) including men, like if they cut you off while driving or something. And sometimes you even call your friends (c word) playfully.
I try to not say cucumber or calf or canary in every sentence but they do seem to sneak in sometimes - cunting C words everywhere; bastards. Oh BTW you can't say c**t in Canada (another 'C' word !!) - look up Kevin 'bloody' Wilson and have a laugh......
Simply Ranting A Nation Because You Have A Typical Stock Image Of It In Your Head
I feel this is inaccurate. Identifying an outbreak of a known virus is different from identifying a new virus which can't be tested for. China certainly doesn't deserve any praise for silencing the first worried doctors, it does for the fast shutdown and for sharing information on the virus. But in the end I don't think this could have been contained by any country, there were far too many people without symptoms. Even with warning and tests available most countries failed to contain it.
