#29: The Whole Knuckle Thing

Okay, let’s settle this once and for all. Does cracking your knuckles make your hands useless? Of course not. If that were the case, most of us would walk around with useless hands. And let’s be real, we all know someone who can’t resist cracking their knuckles at the most inappropriate times. 

But seriously, this is just another one of those myths that have been floating around forever. The truth is knuckle cracking may cause a temporary decrease in grip strength, but it won’t cause any long-term damage. So, crack away, my friends, just not in quiet places or near anyone who gets grossed out by the sound.
