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

      They used UV sterilization bulbs as lighting for a convention. It does not sound like a quick flash of an ARC or TIG welder.

      There is also a broad range of medium to long term effects that aren’t just temporary inconvenience, and permanent blindness.

      But yeah man, you do you. My comment was simply my own perspective. I’m not here to moralize about what you should, or shouldn’t feel.

      UV-C depending on intensity and exposure time will eventually permanently damage vision.

        I mean, basic, boring, red light, depending on intensity and exposure time will eventually permanently disable vision too.

          That’s true, but more of a risk with UV, if only because you can’t see the full intensity while looking at it, and your pupils might expand because of low visible light
