Are you serious, they did not use proper filters to block the really harmful UV? One can only hope that they get sued to shit.

I saw a case of this in a documentary, a club installed ‘pretty’ powder blue UVC lights everywhere and it crisped up the attendees. The UVC part of the light doesn’t register to your eyes, so your pupils stay wide open and the designers added tons of it because it wasn’t that bright.

Well that’s horrific

I had no idea this event was in Hong Kong, the last time it happened was in Hong Kong too.

Yeah was going to say why does this sound familiar… 100% lawsuit incoming.

Big Clive on YouTube just posted a reaction video to this story. He mentioned that it happened recently in Hong Kong at an event by the fashion label Hype Beast. He then goes on to look through pictures of the event and actually located what appear to be germicidal tubes used instead of black light tubes.

It's not that they didn't block UV, it's that they installed UV lights in the DJ booth because it would "look cool".
It was a purposeful choice, and no one stopped to think about why it was a bad idea. Which is totally on brand for people running a convention based around NFTs.

Apparently they were UV tubes meant specifically for sterilization. It’s almost poetic.

So it wasn’t just UV A or B which is found in normal sunlight, but the extremely dangerous and potentially cancer causing UVC radiation that your body does not have a natural resistance to and most sunscreen does not protect against either.
Monumentally stupid.

Isn’t UVC what they use in hospitals?

Probably a mix up of sorts and the responsibility lies with the contractor that installed it. I don't believe the Bored Apes crew organized everything themselves down to the lights, it's not their job. They just paid a company to do it for them.
Asia is much, much more serious than the West regarding sanitation, especially since COVID. UV door frames at the entrance of public transportation is a thing. Where I live, before entering a pharmacy during COVID I had to step in a pond of sanitizer, then was sprayed with the same, then had to wash my hands.
I'm not surprised the contractor had a stockpile of UV tubes to be used specifically for sanitation purpose. Now, did they just confused them with regular black light tubes or did they use them on purpose, or a mix of the two? I guess there's going to be an investigation to sort that out. Wouldn't like to be them, the Hong Kong judicial system is not known for being lenient, quite the opposite.

They thought it would be the “can’t make babies” kind of sterilization. They were just trying to help prevent the creation of more crypto bros.
Agent641@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Scarcity creates wealth, according to their logic. In 2047 when all but tge last two cryptobros have died from ingesting the LD-50 of jaegerbombs, those last remaing, blind, hairless brain damaged cryptobros will be valued at trillions.
