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.

    PETA is hysterical. I’m vegetarian, and I hate their organization. I don’t *like* seeing people eat animals, but I would never try to force my opinion on someone else. Eat what makes you happy, people. (Unless you’re allergic.)

    To PETA, next time you euthanize animals, remember you robbed them of being able to have a family.

    I accept no lectures on morality from an organisation that acquires pets with the sole purpose of euthanising them.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Pigs do the same thing. I used to work in a hog confinement.. if a pig died between the time I was in there to the time I went back, they would eat it. They would also eat another pig alive if it had a sore on it anywhere.

    It's true, last time I was at a cinema with my kids, there was a chicken family there enjoying the movie as well. I pointed them out to my eldest and said "I hope they enjoy themselves, they'll be KFC soon". The film was Chicken Run, if you were wondering.

    Just remember, the next time you eat a salad, you're taking food away from more animals, than I take away from by eating a chicken. Or a deer, cow, turkey, pig, pheasant.

    I know you don't care, but no, that's not how the math works out. tlDR: you're not smart, you're not funny, and you're not right. longer: How many wolves were killed so you could have your meat, and why didn't they have food to eat (hint, we took over the habitat of f their food to feed our food)? The same extends to ecosystems everywhere, collapsing because humans are taking much more from them than we need to, and a lot of that is because we choose to eat very inefficient food (animals that eat plants or other animals that ate plants, with substantial energy losses in every step, most of which goes into heat, CO2, and methane) instead of efficiently produced food (plants taking energy directly from the sun and processing it into nutrients we are evolved to use easily). While it is certainly possible to overcome the difference in efficiencies from "typical" in each direction, in general the difference is something like switching from a pickup or SUV to a compact car.

    Feeding your family to chickens would be comparable. Which, on the surface, seems like a decent trade off. Let me think this over.

    I dare them to go tell the Orcas preying on baby sea lions that, or baby grey whales...or the lions that go after baby antelope of wildebeest. It is called the food web, people, and humans are a part of it, not separate from it. Any anthropologist can tell you that humans are supposed to be omnivores.

    So if chickens have families then I guess you are saying that it is okay for one man, (rooster) to make babies, (eggs) with hundreds of women, (hens) for the sole purpose of creating children, (chicks).

    Hens are generally great mothers, actually. I've even seen roosters who care about their younglings a lot

    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.
