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

    For anyone confused by the low-hanging-fruit NFT comments that don’t actually talk about what actually happened: The event was in Hong Kong and

    here’s my speculative opinion about what the likely cause of the burns was:

    UV disinfectant lights, accidentally used by ignorant, budget-conscious event lighting staff.

        The article also came to no conclusion, though they did point to an event that also happened in 2017 where this happened and the culprit was… what I “guessed”. I’m sexy and I know it. 😜

      UV disinfectant lights were likely used by ignorant, frugal event lighting staff.

      That’s some really low tier event planning. That would be like if you went paintballing and the owner included a few live hand grenades amongst the paint ones. It’s almost impressive how badly they fucked up.

      Atleast the onion writers get a break from writing headlines. Job is done for em already.

        It’s more like using some “long distance extra penetrating paintballs” instead of the usual bursting paintballs.
        It’s most likely “let’s get UV lights for fluorescent paints and stuff”.
        Except getting disinfecting UV lights (probably popularised due to COVID) instead of safe UV Cannons.
