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.

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

I don’t even use an umbrella, and I never will. Dunno why people need them, unless they don’t like the rain

Sometimes it's better to look like a fool and stay dry, than to look like a million bucks and get wet.

And nobody. Not a single person mentioned that umbrellas can also be used for protection against sun. That's what they were actually invented for. It's even in their name, umbrella, like in "umber, umbra", shade, darkness.

I'd love to go out in the sun with an umbrella but I would never do it cause I'm too self-conscious.

you can't use them if you have a penis. For real - on our trip to PI I was going to get an umbrella because it was raining a fair bit. My local relatives informed me that men do not use umbrellas - only women. So I just walked around and got wet because local customs and such. LOLOLOL. Actually it didn't rain too much. A few days later it cleared up and most of our month long trip was rain free

Never use umbrellas, always have waterproof coat and hood up here where I live. I need my hands free; don't care if my hair gets wet - don't even have a brush or mirror in my purse - usually don't even have a purse on me, lol - aaah, free at last, lol!

Many people use an umbrella to keep the sun off, as well. Which makes it a parasol.

Here's my thoughts and possible explanation of this. I grew up on the Oregon coast, so rai more than not throughout the year.it gets to the point where you only use an umbrella in heavy rain. There's a joke like attitude that you are a sissy if you use one in light rain. I'm wondering if Bianca is from a region like that and trying to make a similar "umbrella sissy" joke, while also thinking the entire world will understand. 🤷‍♀️

It depends on the temperature for me. I love to sit out in a warm rain. Bouche would like to remind everyone that rain is sky WET, and therefore is intrinsically evil. Audi is too busy killing a mousie toy to offer his opinion.

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.
