After I learned that NFTs were essentially just signed git commits, I wrote them off as a hilarious grift. I feel bad for the people that were injured, so here's my advice: run away from NFTs and crypto. RUN AWAY!

Hey! i mean you own that commit hash! and you can show it to others through an ipfs link!

So basically ipfs won?! or lost?!

It's a matter of taste, of course, but the event does not look incredible to me. https://twitter.com/slandermepls/status/1721352598945677544

That's because you need the lazers to see how amazing it was

Yeah, clearly the camera had a UV filter. We are missing out on the brilliance :)

Blacklight so strong people got sunburn?

It’s not much brighter than usual, but it’s UVC, a higher frequency/shorter wavelength than what we are used to on the surface of the Earth. UVC reacts with (di-)oxygen to make ozone, so it’s blocked by the ozone layer. The smell is very distinct and it burns eyes and skin readily.

"Not the brightest bulbs" was right there .

Thank you! Also possible candidates: A few watts short of a lightbulb. Their lights are on but nobody’s home.

People there were definitely some half a micrometer short of seeing the light.

I know this isn't what you meant, but "the grift that keeps on griving" gave me an excellent laugh.

It'd have to be s/gi/gri/

No, it would have to be s/gi/gri/w
