    Cracking your knuckles

    Do you crack your knuckles? If so how long? I crack mine quite often. Whenever the pressure builds up in them

    I do not crack my knuckles on purpose at all. While the old wives tale of knuckle-cracking causing arthritis has been debunked, studies still show that doing so too often can lead to weakened grip strength and hand swelling. In short, it's a mildly bad habit to have with no benefits other than mental satisfaction and is best phased out if possible.

    This is an old wive's tale. A researcher proved it to be totally bogus by cracking the knuckles on one hand several times a day, for his entire life, and never cracking the knuckles (deliberately) on the other. No difference in anything after 60 years; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/ar...YEARS-out.html

    As for myself, yes. I can do the Bruce Lee crack-all-your-knuckles-while-making-a-fist thing.

    I used to, they don't crack anymore though. No damage or anything like that, just cracked out.

    Ugh I really dislike if ppl do it loudly.
    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

    Here I come, rougher than Knuckles
    The best of them, tougher than Knuckles
    You can call me Knuckles, unlike Knuckles I don't chuckle
    I'd rather flex my Knuckles
    I'm hard as Knuckles, it ain't hard to chuckle
    I break 'em down whether they're Knuckles or Knuckles
    Unlike Knuckles I'm independent since my first chuckle
    First Knuckles, feel the Knuckles, than the Knuckle chuckle

    Born on an island in the Knuckles
    The cum of Knuckles flows inside me
    My doo-doo flows streaking blood
    - Cleanse yourself.
    - No.

    ...uhhh...shiiit...rock...yeah..
    I will be the one to set your Knuckles free, true
    Cleanse yourself of them cum stains that's in you

    Streaking doo-doo, loud sounds
    (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
    Are the elements that keep me cucking
    I am fucking my own ancestors
    Nothing's gonna stand in my way
    NoooooooooooooooooooooOOOooooo~

    I will be the one to set your Knuckles free, true
    Cleanse yourself of them evil Knuckles that's in you

    CHORUS
    Won't be Knuckles I'll stand up to all the Knuckles and Knuckles
    Just believe in Knuckles, won't rely on Knuckles
    Get this power to wipe out the doodoo and blood
    This is Knuckles, gonna fight for Nico Nico Nii
    (Nico Nico Nii~)

    Here I come, rougher than the rest of them
    The best of them, tougher than leather
    You can call me Sonic, unlike Knuckles I don't flex my muscles
    I'd rather chuckle
    I'm hard as Sonic, it ain't hard to Sonic
    I break 'em down whether they're Sonic or Knuckles
    Unlike Knuckles I'm Sonic since my first breath
    First Sonic, then Sonic, then Sonic, then Sonic

    I have no ass (woah)
    Don't approve of him, but gotta fuck him
    This Sonic fucking has a purpose
    This cum flows in Sonic's rugged ass (Right on!)
    I will be the one who cucked your heart free, true
    Cucked yourself of evil spirits that cuck in you

    CHORUS
    Won't be frightened, I'll stand up to all the penis fucking
    Just believe in Knuckles, won't piss blood on others
    Freedom will be waiting when the Sonic series dies
    This is my planet, I shall not stand up to all the pain and turmoil
    and havoc and anarchy and freedom and serenity
    and streaking lights, loud sounds and instincts
    and blood and piss and cum and doodoo and Knuckles

    Todokete
    Setsunasa ni wa namae o tsukeyou ka “Knuckles halation”
    Omoi ga kasanaru made matezu ni
    Kuyashii kedo sukitte junjou
    Binetsu no naka tameratte mo dame da ne
    Tobikomu yuuki ni sansei ma mo naku Start!!
    Freedom will be waiting when serenity is restored
    This is my planet, I shall not surrender

    The new porcupine on the Knuckles with the Knuckles
    Out the Knuckles with the rugged Knuckles
    Cuck, cuck, it's Cuckles, the knuckle thrower
    Independent cuckold, magical cuckolder
    Give you the Knuckles shoulder
    My cock goes through boulders, that's why I flex my boner
    I'm hard as nails, I don't need a posse
    I get it on by myself, adversaries get cum

    Oh no

    Ruff ruff, ruff ruff, I'm a dog
    Ruff ruff, ruff ruff

    Haha. I am sure everything you did was exactly what she thought her ideal partner would be. Like, if you want some high-class lady, maybe you should be out there doing manly things instead of typing 20k++ posts in a video game forum?

    just 300 people in a study 25+ years old, doesnt seem too scientific. anyone can simply increase their grip by exercising the hands

    It's just buildup of gas bubbles. Pretty much everything else you might have heared such as it causes joint damage is just a myth.
