  I’ve been blessed with an incredibly pop susceptible body. Ankles, toes, wrists, knuckles, neck, back, the odd elbow of knee pop here and there. My neck is so loud that I was watching Dune in IMAX with my boyfriend and he heard it over the subwoofers. It’s very satisfying.

    I can do most things reliably except for the ankles, but I’ve long since lost my ability to easily do my back and neck

    And it’ll happen to you to meme

      I used to force my neck, but I stopped doing that a while ago. In my 30s now so we’ll see how long it lasts. I can also pop my lower back by clenching my buttocks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        I’m also a cracker in my 30s and still role the dice with neck cracks, but sometimes I chase the dragon too long and end up hurting myself :/

        Ok that’s a new one, never heard of a butt clench back pop.

        I can do pretty much every joint aside from hips and elbows. The loudest are my messed up shoulders from when I used to swim competitively. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me it’s the loudest shoulder pop they’ve ever heard.

      Not only do I have an increased range of motion, but I (very recently learned) that an old injury is causing spinal stenosis – my spinal canal is narrowing due to bone overgrowth on my vertebrae. (Car accident. I was rear ended.)

      About 20 years ago a chiropractor popped my neck by twisting it, and it so freaked him out that he leapt back from the table and did the heebie jeebie dance.
      He told me to never let a chiropractor pop my neck by twisting it ever again.
      Reasonably certain I could kill myself showing off doing yoga, like in that Dead Like Me episode.

    Popping my sternum in public is the highlight of existing some days. It’s loud, and alarming.

    I learned I could do it a decade back but it takes a super specific position that took me many more years to work out so I could do it on demand. Feels amazing.

    My hyper-flexibility is probably to blame for it, but it’s super fun :)
