    I can’t snap my fingers. At all.

      I learned to snap in a dream.

      But I still can’t whistle.

      For the longest time, I thought people used their forefinger to snap. Changed the game when I discovered using the middle finger and thumb. Also still can’t whistle.

        I can quadruple snap with one hand. My pinky isn’t strong enough on my non-dominant hand to make the snap. My dogs get freaked out when I do 7 snaps in rapid succession like finger lady fireworks.

        I’ve tried every finger. It’s impossible

          I taught a friend how to snap when he was like 23, and that was, uh, the issue was he was trying to make the snap from rubbing his finger and thumb together, but the snap actually comes from the pressure that builds up and smacks into your palm as the tension releases.

          The other thing I have seen people have issues with is if they lotion their hands frequently, because then you can’t really build up enough tension to get a good pop.

              My middle finger doesn’t touch my palm when I snap, it hits the ball of my thumb.
