Thank you for saying this, it’s what I was coming here to do.

I was laughing, until I read the article. It’s fucking horrifying. Schadenfreude should be proportional.

NFT morons losing their money? Hilarious.

Losing their eyesight? Not funny. Not proportional. Just horrific.

Now, if the Nazi fetishizing scam artist asshats that run BoredApe were blinded by the light at their own convention? That, in my view, would be proportional Schadenfreude.

Healing is usually rapid (24–72 hours) if the injury source is removed.

So… it’s unlikely to be permanent blindness, just temporary eye pain. I feel pretty OK at laughing at them for that.

  They used UV sterilization bulbs as lighting. For convention. It does not sound like the flash of an arc welder.

  UV-C depending on intensity and exposure time will eventually permanently damage vision.

    I mean, basic, boring, red light, depending on intensity and exposure time will eventually permanently disable vision too.

    That’s true, but more of a risk with UV, if only because you can’t see the full intensity while looking at it, and your pupils might expand because of low visible light

  You can do your own searches if you want a surface level dive into it, or you can dive all the way in with Philion’s excellent video on the topic.
