oh my fucking god the bored ape conference used germicidal lamps as blacklights

Bored Ape Conference Attendees Wake Up With Searing Eye Pain, Vision Loss

Attendees at a conference for Bored Ape NFT owners are reporting waking up in the middle of the night following laser and UV-heavy performances with extreme eye pain and vision loss.

#radiation #ultraviolet #UVC #the forbidden light #eye injury #far UV #they kill us with ultraviolet light and by direct exposure to the engines

This has occurred once previously, in 2017, also in Hong Kong, at an event sponsored by Hypebeast.

I take solace in the fact that this can only happen at an event where the attendees think that "fluorescent objects glowing under blue light" is the coolest thing they've ever seen.

Maybe there's one specific guy in Hong Kong in the events sector and this is his special trick. He escapes into the night. The Sunburn Marauder

All I've been thinking since I was first made aware of this news is "Blind Ape Yacht Club" and I hate myself for thinking it because even if they're idiots who bought into monkey JPEGs they don't deserve to have idiot conventions that are so mismanaged they're actively harmful to their health.

I cannot lie it's still funny even if I feel bad for saying it.

I love that a ton of large companies apparently still have crypto departments they forgot to fire/agency contracts they forgot to cancel

couldn't happen to a more deserving bag of marks tbh.
tragic, but like, yknow. the least tragic that still qualifies as tragic.

on the bright side, if you get hit by the anti-bacterial uv lights, you don't have to look at the car later

To be fair after having seen that first picture I too want to lose my eyesight.

nys @nys11/6/2023, 6:48 PM

did they just source “uv lights” thinking they were the same as blacklights? what if they purposefully did it for “cleanliness reasons???

walking mirage @atomicthumbs11/6/2023, 6:50 PM

this has happened once before, at a "Hypebeast" event also in Hong Kong. I believe it happened because whoever was designing the event space wanted blacklights that also emit a "cool" blue light in addition to UV (in the sense of bored ape guys thinking "fuck this looks so cool")

nys @nys11/6/2023, 7:42 PM

12 watts of UVC!!! all around the room!! who are these people???

Now we know why the BAYC dance party was not a COVID superspreader event

This also happened on the set of one of the "Underworld" movies probably for the same reason

oh I meant the glowing thing. You got a point though those don't even look like blacklights.
