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)

My life was going pretty well. But then suddenly I got pushed through a tiny cave. It was cold and bright on the other side. That's the day all my problems started

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 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.

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. 🫶

A birthday is a special celebration. With it, you can show the middle finger to life and your enemies. Screw you, I'm still alive.

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."

I'm a woman, and I am perfectly happy with doing nothing for my birthday. A good book, perhaps binging a good show, hanging with my dog...a perfect birthday.

This is a fair point. I’m going to stop celebrating my birthday and start celebrating the day I die. Lol.

When someone tells me that life begins at conception, I ask them if they celebrate the day they were conceived.

I don't find birthdays exciting, haven't done so since 18, which was the last fun milestone as everything became legal.

Men actually love people celebrating their birthdays.. but are discourages from doing so as it's seen as too needy or feminine to want that

Because me aren't encouraged to celebrate emotions and their feelings as it's seen as too feminine, whereas women are... just another example of where feminism can help improve both male and female lives by breaking down the patriarchy

I'm a teenager (not letting my real age online) and I can't see a point in making it to my 20s

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.
