Are you serious, they did not use proper filters to block the really harmful UV? One can only hope that they get sued to shit.
It's not that they didn't block UV, it's that they installed UV lights in the DJ booth because it would "look cool".
It was a purposeful choice, and no one stopped to think about why it was a bad idea. Which is totally on brand for people running a convention based around NFTs.
Apparently they were UV tubes meant specifically for sterilization. It's almost poetic.
They thought it would be the "can't make babies" kind of sterilization. They were just trying to help prevent the creation of more crypto bros.
Scarcity creates wealth, according to their logic. In 2047 when all but the last two cryptobros have died from ingesting the LD-50 of jaegerbombs, those last remaing, blind, hairless brain damaged cryptobros will be valued at trillions.
Only until there's one left. The second to last one keels off this mortal coil and immediately all their combined wealth disappears due to lack of demand.
"Where is there a eugenics lab we can rent some sperm and egg sterilization lamps from?"
