At long last, Welding Twitter gets its moment in the sun

Did you know Welding Twitter was a thing? Until recently I did not, but now I can imagine nothing lovelier than looking at a series of good welds.

The welders' much-deserved moment in the sun came last Friday. Twitter user @hotmessmaness, whose real name is Kasey, tweeted about the bad (male) welders she sees online.

"Guys weld like this and have 'welder' in their bio," she wrote.

Fortunately, it was the good welders, not the bad welders, who noticed Kasey's complaint. The replies to her tweet are now full of clean and smooth welds, as well as people complimenting each other on their welds.

The images are highly satisfying. I do not understand the inside jokes about welding, but if you are a welder I assume you will. As commenter @xNickBeam said: "I have no idea what any of these things mean but I feel like you went hard."
