"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.
On the light related ones, I only know "they are not lights" which is a bit to bare bones to my taste, but works well in french
The Financial Times [1] has attendee numbers: “About 2,250 people attended the Saturday evening party at a cruise terminal, said organiser Yuga Labs, one of the pioneers in this market. Since then, more than a dozen have posted on social media complaining of a burning sensation in the eyes and sometimes also impaired vision.” Honestly that’s a lot more proud Bored Ape bagholders than I would have guessed. But what do…

nft enthusiasts are not the sharpest tools in the shed
Crypto on the whole is a scene where Sam Bankman-Fried was considered very smart while he was busy conducting the most inept financial crimes in modern history. The bar is low indeed.
Instead we - the tech community - got smug about scams. People here get smug even toward the victims of scams.
The attitude has been 'Who gives a flying fuck about the details of any crypto tech, or the potential of digital money'. 'It's all a scam, so I don't have to learn anything about it'.
The baby got thrown out with the bathwater.
The people working on actually good crypto have nothing to do with SBF. The only way in which they're affected by this is the extent to which they get tarred with the same brush.
Edit: Y'all proving my point. You really don't see that? ... Look at how many of these responses lack table-stakes domain knowledge, missed the point, lack all imagination, and yet have a condescending tone. It's wild.
Could someone have used uv-c black lights thinking they looked cool and not realising about the severe health hazards?
Given the.. qualities.. of people involved in the NFT space the organizers probably bought a bunch of UV-C lamps off alibaba because they were cheap and looked cool-- doing absolutely no research and with no regard for others.
There have been reports of UV-C bulbs being repackaged as "party lights" and sold on eBay/Amazon/etc. So it is possible they had no idea.
You often get class 3B lasers being sold as 3R which is extremely dangerous. I opted to pay a lot more for a green laser for astronomy purposes on a legit website then buy dirt cheap on Amazon because I don't want to blind/injure myself or others.

It's a matter of taste, of course, but the event does not look incredible to me. https://twitter.com/slandermepls/status/1721352598945677544
Brilliant and truly innovative stage design, mounting the "do not ever look into those" scan lasers vertically, at head height ... ...

My guess is 95 percent of people in this tread didn't know 5 minutes ago.
