It's like the cake and is a lie.

50 years only cracking the knuckles on one hand with no noticeable difference.

Got to hand it to that guy for perseverance.

Very cool Thanks Belegost I feel much less worried with my addiction now 🙂

Though it would be much cooler to hear from someone having done it for 50 - 90 years

Yeah I've heard it before. I'm guessing my mom still believes it but from what I've read there's been no evidence of cracking your knuckles being harmful, so Imma keep at it.

I was told my knuckle cracking gave my grandfather cancer,.. of the knuckles.
