In lighter news, there was a monkey NFT party in Hong Kong. Attendees woke up in the middle of the night with extreme eye pain. It turns out the organiser used UVC light usually used to kill germs. It also turns out the same contractor used the same lights some years ago and caused the same problem.

In “lighter” news🫠lol.

Seriously tho. That happened to my eyes once. That pain is no joke. Went to emergency.

I'm sure it was an illuminating experience.

I'm sure they will beam at each other next time when they reminisce about it.

An eye-opening piece of information.

Was wondering why the smell of ozone didn't tip some people off that there was an issue... but then realised these monkey NFT lovers probably don't use deodorant.

They never viewed it as an essential part of daily life.

Definitely at the lower end of the spectrum.
