Who’d have thought BoredApe NFTs would be such an actual eyesore?

Regardless of what you think of NFTs, somebody needs to held accountable for this. It could happen at any show or production. Someone clearly chose the Aliexpress special over safety. This is one of those things where fundamental trust in public infrastructure engineering is destroyed.

Right? I don't know anything about Welder's Eye, but I know ultraviolet light is invisible to humans, so I'd imagine that most people present wouldn't notice anything wrong until hours later. Once you know this can happen, you just have to trust that all the places you go aren't putting your health at risk. Insane.

I knew this could happen. Result is that I don't go to events when I think the organizer is grossly incompetent.

Happens at nightclubs too

Libertarian Jesus will somehow figure out how to handle that.

Though I'd say that this is completely on brand. Goes and does something without understanding exactly what they are doing, causing damage to others who had even less of an idea of what's going on.

And a chance someone actually knew exactly what they were doing and did it to deliberately fuck over the attendees.
