Should you stop cracking your knuckles?

This is good to read about, and nice that it has and research referenced.

It's interesting to know that it's gas collapsing. And nothing to do with the bone rubbing.

And it makes you wonder what chiropractors are actually doing when they're popping your back... It's probably not doing anything to help you with your pain. And it's probably not actually adjusting anything.

Another question, has anyone noticed cracking knuckles being contagious like yarning? I often crack my knuckles and quite often see others noticing and doing it themselves.

Bruce Lee cracked his knuckles a lot, and he died in his 30s. He was in great shape too.

But I think it's mostly just escaping gases.

Edit: ^ is my way of asking why this is on HN, which I never do, cause then someone could ask the same about me.

Betteridge says?

TL,DR: No, unless you're doing it so hard that you're straining your joints. But don't crack your neck.

Not in my house. It's annoying.
