Shocked and horrified

In a video posted online, Swaggersouls can be seen at the table, along with other YouTubers Toby, Fitz, McCreamy, and Zuckles in front of a large group of people. Social media users were both shocked and horrified by the noise, with one person writing that he didn’t know that he needed this.

He further revealed that maybe it’s weird but he loved the sound in the video and it made him crack his knuckles too. Another user said that it would have been great if they didn't all start yelling in the middle of it.

Weather cracking joints is harmful or not is a long-held debate. While some people claim that there are potential dangers of cracking knuckles repeatedly and go further claiming that it can cause early onset of Arthritis, some say the act is not dangerous at all.

Reportedly, a doctor who sought out to prove whether it was harmful, came back with some interesting results.

An x-ray later showed that there was no damage to the hand that endured the life long cracking.
