Crystal Clear Hypocrisy
The irony is just *chef's kiss* here. People mock crystal enthusiasts for being "unscientific" while literally every digital device in their pocket depends on quartz crystal oscillators to function. These piezoelectric crystals vibrate at precise frequencies when electricity is applied, creating the heartbeat that keeps your CPU's clock ticking at exactly the right rate. Without these crystals, your smartphone would be about as useful as a paperweight with a fancy screen. Next time someone scoffs at "crystal energy," just point to their phone and smile smugly. Science doesn't care about your mockery—it's too busy using crystals to power the modern world.
