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)
This never ceases to crack me up. Perfect example of how to screw yourself in 1.5 seconds. Lmao
I just don't even understand the mentality of such aggression.

Homer Hickman was the kid that lived rockets in the movie "October Sky"! From dreaming about rockets as a kid to working his dream job at NASA. Dreams do come true sometimes. Too bad for her but congratulations to Homer Hickman for living his dream.
This is the biggest life lesson she will ever get and probably her biggest f up in life. This is the kind of thing that 50 years down the road will keep her up at night thinking about. She will think about how she lost the internship that could have changed her life and how she blew it with one idiot tweet for the rest of her life.
Fixed your downvote. Why were you downvoted in the first place?

Shocker... someone actually was treated appropriately for acting like an arrogant jackhole (not sarcastic... this doesn't happen nearly enough)
Yep, she sure did do a terrible thing by being very excited to start a job.

Overheard a guy say, "never flip someone off in traffic - you never know if they'll be pivotal in your future".
I was always told, "Don't flip someone off in traffic because you never know if they have a gun."

People have been way harsher on her than Homer Hickam was. He later explained he was not offended and was just giving her advice, plus she later apologized and iirc he decided to help her find another internship. She didnt lose the job because of this but because her friends decided to use the nasa hashtag to bring attention to this. Look it up on Snopes.
Then you too have some growing up to do

It's real but he didn't fire her and was not offended. Her friends got her fired by promoting this conversation using the nasa hashtag

"Oh, I'm sorry boss. First day in NASA and I've learned something already!"
"Oh, I'm sorry boss. First day in NASA and learned something already!"
🤣🤣🤣 Homer Hickam is famous for being a gifted rocket engineer. A brilliant movie was made about his early years growing up in a small mining town where he tried to build rockets with his friends, launching them with mixed results. Strongly recommended. It’s called ”October Sky”. 🚀
Who TF is some old dude to come and demand someone watch their language. The got dammed entitlement. Don't like swears Grampa.....get off the f****n internets
This is NOT knowing the major players in your arena!!! NASA is big time you should know the leads name.
Whoops. I meant "Yippee! Golly gee whiz you guys, guess what? I'm going to be working at NASA! Isn't that swell?"
Can we also address the issue of Naomi H. having a d**k and b***s??
She’s not allowed to be excited as a young person who achieved something? I bet council guy says all kindsa dirty 💩 when it’s just old guys around.
It's not about being excited, it's about using inappropriate language in a public space about an employer. There's a time and place for all things, and what you say with your friends should not be the same things you say at work/in public.

Always assume that your boss (or your mom) will see your comments!
Homer Hickam? He's that guy the movie "October Sky" was about.... I think he knows things.
Even worse. If she continued in space flight in the non-NASA sector, she's now probably working for Elon Musk.

Lol, I wonder if that's true lol! I really hope it is though! Can you imagine meeting this guy at your new job after this lol!
I forgot all about this!!! Guess who ended up losing that internship? Hahaha, dumbass
He did help her find something else, sorry can't remember the whole story!

Yes, proper language actually has significance in a professional setting. Maybe not where you work, but at their level it does. He later clarified that he was trying to guide her, he wasn't just shaking his finger at her like the cranky old neighbor who's telling kids to keep off his lawn. Also, F you for being an age-ist a-hole.
Load More Replies... It is disgusting that she lost an internship over this. Adults are allowed to swear on the internet and she didn't say anything hateful or offensive so why should she lose something she had been working for all her life because that man who probably has a nice comfy life dislikes her saying f#ck
Employee conduct represents their employer, so they must take care to stay professional.

Anyone named Naomi who says "Suck my d**k and balls" may lack the basic science background that NASA was expecting.
Saw the trajectory of that conversation from the orbit of Jupiter.
Downvote trolls. People just do that to be annoying. We try to ignore them - there's no sense in it.

Ah yes because marriage is indentured servitude for men…wait 🤔
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
And healthy men don’t pit women against each other in a Madonna/whore comparison
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.
I always invite him to my house if my wifi is down! My right hand man
Thank you BP for having a post that isn't North America or Europe centered. I might not have gotten all the jokes, but instead I got to see a part of the internet that wasn't known to me.
Half of these images are just stuff about india,pakistan and bollywood,Thats why many people are confused.
Better than it being pure USA. If we get exposed to enough Bollywood we'll eventually start understanding the jokes!

Hey, people are sick of all the USA-centred posts. There's a whole wide world out there, ya know? Other regions have the right to representation.
