  • Tom Platz, who was favored, tore his right bicep 6 weeks prior to the competition and competed after having it surgically repaired.
gollark: Yes, people are weird and want it for social status/scarcity/whatever rather than because it actually looks nice "inherently".
gollark: (also, I'm pretty sure IPFS doesn't guarantee that your file exists forever at no cost, someone has to be pinning it or viewing it)
gollark: It's probably irrelevant though, as I doubt *that* many people actually care about having the arbitrary ownership token™ in the first place and have the technical knowledge to check in much detail whether you actually do have it.
gollark: Smart contracts *have* been known to have complex bugs which are also completely impossible to patch after they've been released onto an unsuspecting public.
gollark: If I actually cared about that for some bizarre reason, it would presumably be possible to just copy the NFT code and patch that out.
