I can crack my fingers, toes, neck, ankles, jaw, and my nose. For the last one I just hold my nose with my finger and thumb and pull it side to side. Probably not good for me.
I also crack my knees sometimes, but not intentionally, it hurts.

So how about you?

I can't crack any body parts. Not intentionally, anyway.

I don't know how people find it disgusting.

I can't do it intentionally. Other people can do it to me.

Fingers (all 3 joints on each finger), toes (both joints on each toe), knees, back, leg joints where they're attached to mah pelvis, and elbows.

As bodies go, mine is among the more crackable. I do it pretty often, too. I am aware that some people find this repulsive.

Also, I can't crack my nose (I wasn't aware it was even possible) but my dad taught me how to pretend to crack my nose, a hard-to-explain trick that involves using the thumb and the front teeth to make a cracking sound while pulling on the nose.

I crack my fingers, toes, wrists and ankles constantly, it feels weird if i doin't. People don't seem to mind. I crack my knees and elbows in the morning and occasionally other times when i feel the need to. I'm pretty sure I have some sort of joint problem.

I don't crack my back or neck, surprisingly, and I don't think I can.

Bodily cracking hasn't been shown to cause any permanent damage

The fact that i feel the need to do it so constantly and that the need is growing more and more worries me, though.

Are you being serious? Because if you are, I'd like you to show me even 1 legitimate statistic that backs up your point.

I can crack my back and fingers (mainly the thumb knuckle) regularly, but from time-to-time, I have the ability to crack my wrists, toes, and neck (though I have stopped doing this one lately).

Spoilers: Ball and socket joints "cracking" is a very not good sign.

Bingo.

And no, I can't crack anything.

I crack my fingers and neck a lot. I get at least one good back crack an hour. My knees can crack occasionally, and if I move my legs in a weird way my hip cracks, which is not a good sign.

I have had this problem with my big toe on my right foot (and sometimes my left foot) for a long time, at least for four or five years. Almost every time I move it, "CRACK!" and "SNAP" and occasionally "Douglas...". Though that last one may just be my tinnitus acting up. Still don't know why it cracks... My fingers and knuckles crack too. Arthritis is on it's way! Horaay!?

Popping joints doesn't lead to any future problems.

There are several theories as to what the cracking actually is; the most widely accepted is that when you extend your finger, a vacuum is temporarily created in the joint. The popping sound is the vacuum collapsing all at once. It's called cavitation.

I pop and crack my finger joints constantly as a nervous tick. I like to shake things up a bit with said joints by randomizing the methods. Sometimes I use the finger crisscross followed by forward arm extension method as is commonly seen in cartoons. Sometimes I use the somewhat primitive grab and pull method. The most common of the methods is a one handed method that consists of all four fingers cracking the thumb which is succeeded by the thumb returning the favor to the fingers one-by-one. The most eccentric and concern-inducing method I use is when I punch my head.

I also pop most of my other joints, but I will not be addressing those.

Usually I squeeze one fist with the other hand, and vice versa.
