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.

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

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.

@Mike Kooring ~ Actually, it's rather refreshing! Especially if you've eaten a spicy meal the day before.

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.

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.

Bidet seats rather than bidets are popular in Japan &, on that basis, South Korea & Taiwan should be on the map

What a collection of nonsense i'm reading. Bidet does not replace toilet paper. You clean your butt with toilet paper. You move to bidet, you adjust hot/cold water temperature like any other sink in your home, you wash your butt with desired temperature and soap. You don't take a butt bath in the bidet, water is flushing and drain is open. You dry your clean butt with a small towel arbitrary assigned to butt only. Toilet shower is not more practical, water is cold, toilet seat is smaller than bidet seat and reaching your butt is more difficult, you sprinkle water everywhere because you are using a small shower rather than a small tap. Please keep laughing at bidet, but you are the ones that keep walking all the day with skidding in their underwears.

Burn. Also, last time I checked, one person doing something, while living in a particular country, doesn't mean the entire country is on board with that and doing it too.

They could be using wipes. Still, anything is better than the traditional option of the left hand...

This map is really inaccurate. Some countries don't have separate bidets but have a special handle that works the same. Also some countries have bidets but people dont use them for after pooping

Add to that the use "hand bidets" as a cleansing practice among Muslim, Hindu, and several other religious practitioners. Either the fancier bidet shower jet or a hand vessel, which is popular among the Filipinos according to Jo Koy's special.

In fact I can personally vouch for about a half dozen more countries that use bidets but aren't on that map...

I have a bidet. I am american and live in the United states. I do not drink from it because the little butt sensor wont trigger when I am not sitting on it. If it did, I would probably try it at least once.

The Romans cleaned their buttocks with a damp sponge on a stick. That is both sweeping and washing. (Paper or bidet? In either case, don't be afraid to touch and clean yourself.)

This is so harsh and funny lol! Honestly, I don't even think I'd be able to figure out how to use a bidet! I'd be like Crocodile Dundee when he goes to America and sees the bidet for the first time lol!

What bothers me about the subject is that, in general-and this comments section is no exception-is that so many people who prefer bidets are so snobby about it. They act like they're better and cleaner than people who use toilet paper, and condescend to TP users, talking to them as if the very idea just disgusts them. Like people who use TP are just soo gross. People, there's nothing wrong with preferring toilet paper! There's nothing wrong with using a bidet, either. So use what you want. But let everyone else do the same. Dàmn, man.

For this to be practcal water should be easily available. No droughts or poluted water in the system used for sanitary purposes. Paper also. Now, take another look at that map...

I'm rather shocked that most of South America, Egypt and India use bidets.

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.
