Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon showing off their NFTs is the longest 77 seconds ever
pcgamer.comIn what may be the most compelling evidence I've yet seen that NFTs are multi-dimensionally awful, here's a clip of Paris Hilton and Jimmy Fallon awkwardly showing off their low-quality drawings of apes in stupid hats to an audience that seems equal parts bemused and bored.

Finally, he put the pictures side by side and said, «They're buddies,» at which point someone presumably switched on the «Applause» sign, the crowd obliged, and the clip mercifully ended.
It was not a good segment, but it did inspire some hilariously brutal reactions on Twitter:
