Aw man, I just cracked my thumb just by bending it. Didn't even have to touch it. That's the best. You can feel that little bit of resistance and you know it'll crack if you bend it just every so slightly more, but you don't do it yet. You leave it like that for a moment to savor it. Then, BOOM!

Wow, you do the opposite! I pull them back on left, then right, then close each finger on left then right, then press on my knuckle joint on left then right. Thumbs can also be cracked without me touching it but I feel weird if I don't crack them using my finger. If I'm in the mood I do the toes left then right.

Out of interest, are you left or right handed?

Ok, I thought it could be related to that but you refuted my hypothesis.

I refuted a scientist's hypothesis? Score.

Yip exactly. I am technically a scientist, but don't quote me on that.
