People talk a lot of smack on the internet, and when that happens on social media, then the rest of the world can be fortunate enough to be there to see the glory unfold. From devastating clapbacks to good-natured puns and every other type of delightfully witty reply, a Twitter account called Gems Of Replies is there to document it all - for our benefit.
You know that sensation so many of us get hours after a conversation or argument when we realize - “damn, I should’ve said [X] instead…”? Scrolling through this account is basically the opposite of that as you get to see every moment of glory where someone said exactly what needed to be said.

Aww, it's like a family cremation (please don't come after me, I just have a dark sense of humour - I don't even eat meat)
Oh, you sweet summer child. Have you heard of "religion"?

I accept no lectures on morality from an organisation that acquires pets with the sole purpose of euthanising them.
I just had chicken for dinner and I can confirm it was delicious with the mushrooms.
Load More Replies...That's a pretty great comeback. It makes me think of the Japanese dish oyakodon which translates to "parent and child rice bowl" because it has chicken and egg in it.
Meh. It was nor smart nor a good one. So preditctable and boring.
Load More Replies...As a meat eater, I think the Pandas are in the wrong. Saying PETA bad, doesnt refute their claim that eating meat is unethical. Saying I'm a vegetarian, but I let others eat what they eat, is not a good answer. Saying I think x is immoral, but I let people do x and dont judge them for doing x does not make a sound ethical argument. Imagine someone came up to you and said I believe killing people is wrong, but I dont judge those who think its not or who kill people, therefore I'm tolerant and based, why you think they are based?

Load More Replies...We just had a semi hauling chickens overturn in Portland, Oregon (USA) and PETA thought the best thing to do was drive their box truck (with Virginia plates, so from the other side of the country) covered in images of chickens crammed into crates all over it to Portland and drive around. I am happy to say that someone stole that truck. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/07/06/peta-truck-stolen-portland/
While a nice thought, chooks don't maintain a family unit. Sure, you might have 2 sister hens, but a son and dad rooster will kill each other when he matures.
We are water-resistant. If we get submerged in water for more than a few minutes, we get damaged. Something to do with the O2/CO2 exchange mechanism

In the 80s as teen I would be teased for having an umbrella for a storm..ok I would look at these long haired concert jean jacket (ladies or men) as fools! I was dry but the were wet to the bone!! I hardly think they had dry clothes by end of the day!
They say Pluto is a planetoid, because it came from the Kuiper belt, and there are quite a few other planetoids in the belt. I say that's all well and good, but are we going to judge Pluto simply because of where it came from? I mean, it left, and moved inward, closer to the sun. Shouldn't it get credit for being willing to pull up its roots and move? I vote that Pluto is a planet! You don't see those others moving to better neighborhoods!
I have no idea if what you wrote is accurate, but I like it!

Load More Replies...Why do people do that? It's not just women either. An ex would order cheap when he was paying and expensive if I was - we earned the same.
People that expect others to pay simply were not raised right or are downright selfish. And the audacity to ask for the most expensive drink. No ma’am, nobody is about to play me like that.

These old "marriage is prison" jokes have been done to death and were never really funny
Agreed. Can we see some nice, wholesome marriage memes and jokes instead? The problem is that there are far too many "marriage is a prison" jokes as compared to "I actually enjoy being married" ones.

Load More Replies...That is a possibility. Allot of popular themes on marriage is that the mother or Father of the bride hates the son in law or only the mother of the groom hates her daughter in law, but it is never mentioned if the Father of the groom thinks less of the daughter in law.

Load More Replies...I will try this. But first I must secretly love my depression from afar, and then wait for the worst possible moment to tell it how I feel.
Help someone else. This usually works as it changes your focus from internal to external.
Well, in all seriousness: when I was deepest into depression (when I went to the uni) I started to get really into studying. I thought "well, this book doesn't care how I feel, the text is still the same". I also read different types of fictional stories. Kafka made me laugh, which was weird. Oh, and I saw ALL of tour de France that year. Not missing any of it. Because I was too physically exhausted from my depression to do anything but sitting on my couch. Oh, and my depression nearly got me killed a few times when I was walking in traffic so I just went outside as little as possible. But studying was a real great way for me to get out of depression.

My birthday is next week!! ☺ Also, I celebrate my birthdays every couple of years, maybe this is why I don't look my age? 🤔😅
i find it weird that on one specific day you turn one year older than you were. you are NEVER the same age for a year. strange.
I have my 5 closest friends, 3 of them from childhood. I have a rather large family split between Utrecht, San Francisco & Hawai’i. I have my tribe of social friends across the globe. While I have a great time with each of them, it’s often because of a sense of obligation. Birthdays, milestones, etc. What I don’t often get enough of is time to myself to do whatever I want without answering to anyone. The opportunity to be completely alone to read & write and do whatever I want is a gift. The greatest personal gift I can ask for. I’ll gladly celebrate my birthday with/for my loved ones. Maybe the weekend before or after. Just gift me this one day a year where I have to be accountable to no one on any level and let me be alone in peace. I love my own company and that’s all I ever ask for, for my birthday.
As long as everyone knows this is what you want to do for your birthday and why, there should be no problem. It’s people that don’t say (introverts trying to be polite but ending up mad) or their families/friends not being respectful of what the birthday person have said that are the problem.
Load More Replies...I love birthdays. The only thing is it shouldn't be mine. My birthday is the day I regret my existence the most!
On your behalf, I love your birthday as it's the opposite of a regret to me and many others. 🫶

Use your words please i cant understand random letters
Load More Replies...My dad doesn't like to celebrate his birthday because he lost his twin when I was little. He always says "it doesn't feel the same when the person who came into the world with you and grew up with you is gone."
Just look around you. Approximately 98% of those people are mediocre. No offence intended. Just an observation.
I wouldn't know the key traits of a mediocre person doing anything, since I'm not one.
How do you use a bide? You poop on toilet, fill bidet with water, sit in it, pull the plug out, clean the bidet? Here a little hand shower next to the toilet is more common.
What? Well, we have Japanese style bidet toilet seats. They are attached to the water supply, and have wands that comes out when you activate it - they are self cleaning. Also sprung for the water heater, built in pressure pump, heated seat, deodorizer, and air dryer. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Load More Replies...@Mike Kooring ~ Actually, it's rather refreshing! Especially if you've eaten a spicy meal the day before.
Load More Replies...Seems like none of the people in the comments actually knows how to use a bidet. I'm Italian and this is incredible to me. It's not toilet paper vs bidet. We use both. First you wipe and when you finish wiping you just go to the bidet and wash your bum with a specific soap. It's really that simple and towels aren't dirty when you finish drying yourself. It's not one or the other, no one skips toilet paper before washing here. It's seriously mind-blowing to me.
Brasil does not have bidets everywhere , instead they use a much practical device, a handheld shower installed next to the sanitary vase. In the north it´s very common because the water temperature is mild and is nice tho wash yourself with a refreshing shower.
the first time I saw one was when I was living in Italy. Girlfriend had to tell me what it was. Blew my mind.

Load More Replies...So are the husbands of porn stars not allowed to think their wife is hot?
I think you're totally allowed to think a porn star is hotter than your wife, as long as you make your wife feel like she is the hottest. Equally, you're allowed to think models and movie stars are better looking than your partner, as long as you make your partner feel like they're the best looking person on earth. It has nothing to do with being a strong or weak person, it's just a matter of what your taste happens to be. I think it's totally fine to choose a partner based largely on personality, not appearance. Also, none of us are still gonna be as attractive as 30 year olds when we're 70, just a fact of life. No problem to notice that younger people are more attractive than your partner and yourself nowadays, as long as you're not being creepy towards younger people and still make your partner feel like the most attractive person.
I've been with my partner for 23 years, I've known him for 26 years and I can honestly say, I've never been more attracted to anyone. Are there people out there that are subjectively more "attractive", sure! Ryan Reynolds is gorgeous but I don't *know* him & being attracted to somebody is a whole person experience- it's smells, looks shared, laughter & feelings, not just appearance based- For me, anyway.

Load More Replies...Confused me becos I'm in UK, and my purse is just money & maybe cards, but in USA, I think a purse holds all the things a woman might carry with her, e.g. makeup, phone, tissues, tickets, keys. So in the USA, a woman might bring her purse even if not expecting to need any money.

I think it depends on the context. My native language is almost dead because people gave English too much priority. Now only villagers and old, established families can speak purely in our language, everyone else tries to talk in as much English as possible.
and now, i'm curious, what is your native language ? :)
Load More Replies...English is the most widely understood language in the world. It's how Russians speak to Chinese, Germans speak to Japanese. It's mandatory for air travel. Most programming languages are written in it. Even watching badminton tournaments in Thailand, where one Thai team is playing another, all the scoring and communication is in English. It's also devoid of accents, which makes it a lot easier to use a standard keyboard.
It's good to hear positive things said about English. Although it is spoken by so many people, they are many disadvantages given by people (including Pandas!) attempting or learning to speak it.
Load More Replies...I remember learning that there are more than 500 Native North American languages, more than 400 from the Canadian First Nations Peoples. And the overwhelming majority are no longer spoken or spoken by very few people, usually the elders of the group. It is very sad.
