Boring apes?
SeethingSloth@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Laughing at these people for getting their retinas burned like I see many people do (not just here) is in really bad taste imo. Even cryptobros don’t deserve that.

Which is saying something, coming from him.
ChinaskiBukowski did not have a high opinion of humans, in general.

Damn, screwed twice by the same Ape…

Omg event was for holders of the NFTs then this! That’s a 2nd degree burn

Right to the eyeballs

Sounds like somebody accidentally bought some germicidal bulbs instead of regular black light. Not the first time this has happened.

Who’d have thought that a group of conmen would skimp on safety to make some money… I’m shocked, shocked I tell you!
herr@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s more likely to be down to incompetence. I can’t imagine the party UV lights are more expensive than the fuck-you-up UV lights.
dustyData@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by plain incompetence is a saying. But I think a new modern corollary can be made. Never attribute to incompetence what can be easily explained by greed, which just circles back to malice and is stupidity at the same time.

Misread this as Concerned Ape and became... Concerned. And also mad I didn't know there was a convention.

Please, don’t post paywalled content.

It was paywalled after I posted it! Here’s a link that’s unrestricted theverge.com/…/bored-ape-nft-event-eye-injury-sun…

It’s scary how one retards mistake can cost other people so much, and there’s no way of even knowing it’s happening until it’s too late
BellaDonna@mujico.org 1 year ago
Not sure why you were voted down, because I feel the exact same way. No one should have to suffer vision loss from a public event, horrifying.
Aurangutan@lemmynsfw.com 1 year ago
The sentiment is fine but ‘retard’ is a slur the way it’s used here, that’s probably why.

Whoa, I think my comment (and yours) was removed. Or am I missing something? Wierd
MossyFeathers@pawb.social 1 year ago
Does anyone have the full article?
gigachad@feddit.de 1 year ago
No, but there are.many other articles covering the topic if you search for it, e.g.
Bootheal0179@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I think so, because two comments clearly had more info than was available in my click.
Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
it was already posted here on lemmy, idk where, but i remember it on my feed and the comments

Clown_Tempura@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not a particularly surprising sort of capstone to finish off this whole stupid NFT thing.
moistclump@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Wait… What?
TheControlled@lemmy.world 1 year ago
You have to read the article to understand the headline. Intense, I know.
AlboTheGuy@feddit.nl 1 year ago
My man the article is behind a brick of cookie permissions and then a paywall. The “What” is more than warranted
tmyakal@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I’d love to, but the text fades out after the first paragraph and is replaced with “This post is for members only.”
Eh_I@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s one sign of a bad headline.
moistclump@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What is going on in the world?
moistclump@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s like I blinked and then… This headline existed.

Sorry this link has been paywalled for some people after I posted. Here’s an article that is unrestricted theverge.com/…/bored-ape-nft-event-eye-injury-sun…

Eheran@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
chaogomu@kbin.social 1 year ago
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.
rtxn@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Apparently they were UV tubes meant specifically for sterilization. It’s almost poetic.

Nfters and not thinking ahead: name a more iconic duo

COVID and MAGA??
linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 year ago
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.
Pink_Champagne@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well that’s horrific
StopSpazzing@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah was going to say why does this sound familiar… 100% lawsuit incoming.
