how many times do you crack your fingers and/or wrists per day
and how do you crack them

not often, maybe once a day on average? idk i dont regularly realize it, sometimes it seems more like a week, but it could be far less...

in any case, it only really would take a gentle punch of a few knuckles into a palm :o

I don't know the exact amount or even range, but I tense my fingers in order to crack them. My wrist doesn't crack at all though.

I don't think this came from typing originally though. I used to sort of "force" it, and it eventually became a habit. Sometimes it happens at random, and other times, when I think on it, I will crack them a lot. So right now, I have cracked all my fingers about 15 times already

Once every few days probably.
I don't see how these 2 things are related.

I crack my fingers at least a few times each day. I can't crack my wrists tho. I don't really think it has to do with how much I type tbh, I'm always cracking my joints regardless of what I'm doing.

My spinal and neck cracks are the most satisfying.

Far too many times. I crack both pointer and middle fingers, and my right right wrist is crackable. As for how I crack them, I just carefully bend them backwards until it is cracked, or I feel something.

Not sure if I qualify as person who types a lot, but I crack my fingers a lot. I can crack all my fingers inwards, and a few of them outwards on occasion. I can also crack the middle knuckle on all of my fingers. I can also crack that middle knuckle sideways, with my ring finger being able to kinda go both ways while my other fingers cant. I can also crack the smallest finger joint, but only sideways and in one direction. I can also crack the joint where my thumb attaches to my wrist, that ones really nice. I'm theorizing I can do the same thing with my pinky, but I haven't managed to get it yet. I can crack my wrist sometimes, it usually only happens after an osu session or something similarly intensive. Basically I have something in my hands that i can crack at all times when I want to fiddle with my hands.

might be a little bit early to call, but the general consensus seems to be
about 13% of the sample barely ever cracks their fingers/wrists
middle 27% cracks whenever they need to
and 60% are actual bone demons (like me) who crack their fingers/wrists/bones/body whenever they get the chance

I do it like 20 times a day minimum. I bend, stretch and pull on every appendage until I hear the sound, I wonder if I should be concerned

Oh you're talking about other bones?

I can crack my knees. That's about what I can do, though I feel like I could crack my back if it's absolutely needed and under the right circumstance, if ever possible. Can also crack my toes.

the main question was originally "how many times do you crack your fingers/wrists", but more people kept including other body parts so the question kind of changed over the course of the thread

as for me, i can crack my neck, fingers, wrists, shoulders, back, knees, lower legs and toes and do so around 6-10 times a day; more or less depending on if they feel stiff
neck, shoulders, back and lower legs are mainly done by twisting around until they pop; everything else is just pressure

Not too often... maybe 2-3 times a day at most. I used to crack them more. I mostly just stretch them with my other fingers, though I used to have an odd habit of pressing them against my jaw to crack them.
