A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

I can crack my elbows like knuckles by just extending my arms. My brother can do it too, but I've never met anyone else who can do it.
One of my sons can crack about every joint in his body, including toes, but elbows only rarely.
I can't crack all joints, but I can crack many. The elbow is the most consistent, but I can crack my knees, most toes and I can also crack my wrist by pulling my thumb backwards.
I can do it too. Also my neck, and my knees, and my ankles, and my toes.
I can do my knees and toes too, but not consistently. Neck and ankles I cannot. I can crack my wrist though.
I just cracked my wrist now, but I haven't been able to do it before!
How did you do it? I do it by pushing the base of my thumb down and backwards, and I feel the crack right at the base of my wrist towards the side of the thumb. I suspect I'm actually cracking my thumb, since I'm pushing on my thumb's metacarpal, but I feel it in my wrist.
Bend wrist downward to charge, bend upward slowly to crack (this all happened by accident)
My sister in law and I can do this too!
Must run in the family!
I can do fingers/knuckles (and individual joints), wrists, back, neck, knees, toes, ankles (sometimes)
