I and a lot of other people use crystal bracelet to help us sync up with other people. Even if we're apart for days, we can show up exactly at the same place at the same moment if our crystals are vibrating at the same frequency.

How do you explain that?

Is that frequency something you can control or measure? Do you agree on a shared "let's meet" frequency you set it to, and if the other happens to have it set to that as well, you end up meeting? Or is it more of a random chance thing, like running into each other in places you both frequent at coincidentally matching times and deciding it must be the bracelets' doing?

Or am I falling for a joke?

I think they mean a watch

I wasn't entirely sure if that's what they mean, but I considered the possibility. I opted to give a serious response just in case, accepting the possibility I'd be wooooshed.

I did.

I wasn't trying to add on to any whooshing, just trying to help

All good, I appreciate your intention. Thank you for taking the time!

I don't really know, I only know the basics of how to use it. But twice a year when the planet reaches a certain position in the solar system, you have to calibrate it 1/24th of an earth rotation, and then do it again after a certain time. I don't understand why, but everyone is doing it. The crystal draws energy from a silver pendant the size of a coin.

A watch. I knew it. Nice one.

Tides come in, tides go out. Can’t explain that
