Twenty-five-year-old model and positive body image advocate Ariella Nyssa has gone viral on TikTok with a video showing how easily bodies can be manipulated and doctored on the platform. According to news.com.au, the Sydney native was “in shock” with just how much she was able to alter her appearance on the app.

Nyssa is an established social media influencer who boasts over 712,000 followers on Instagram, and over one million followers on TikTok. Her primary source of income is from her media accounts.

The clip shows Nyssa in a green and blue bikini showing off her manipulated forum before revealing her actual and curvier figure. “I actually had no idea it was as easy as going on an app and editing your body like that,” said the media influencer, “I know people edit their bodies in photos and it’s easy, but I had no idea that you could just click a button and it could change your whole body in a video.”

Nyssa’s video is part of an overall TikTok trend started by user @coraliekarczewski aiming to show users exactly how easy it is for others to edit their bodies into almost unattainable physiques.

Nyssa’s post has gained well over a million views but, in a twist of irony, the positive body image model has received a number of requests to know exactly what app she had used to produce the effect in the first part of the video.

“What’s the app? Don’t gatekeep,” said one commenter. “I don’t love myself, so sis what’s the name of the app?” posted another.

”It’s kind of sad to read it,” Nyssa said. “I tried to reply to a few and be like, ‘You don’t need it,’ but unfortunately people just don’t love themselves enough, and that is why I do post what I post and I want people to know that you can look and feel beautiful without having to edit and smooth or contort your body in certain ways.”

That said, the influencer made it clear that she in no way wanted to shame those on the platform that do use third-party apps or filters to alter their appearance. Provided that is that they are “honest and open” about the effects.

“I’m all for you do you, if you want to edit your features or if that makes you feel better about yourself, go for it,” she said. “But you need to tell people that you’re doing that, because that is what I think is the detrimental thing … especially young girls as they have no idea, they just think that’s what you look like all the time and they start comparing themselves.”

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have been a hot topic since the former co-stars of That ’70s Show got together in real life. But before that reunion, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher were one of the most talked-about couples.

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore were married for eight years in the early 2000s. While some celebrities let bad blood overtake their relationship, the actors are friendly enough now to unite for a paycheck. Moore and Kunis wink at their history in a new commercial for AT&T.

Moore must have gotten it out of her system publishing her autobiography, which paints an unflattering portrait of Kutcher.

In the commercial, the two both believe they have been named “Most Admired Alum” at a school reunion. Another funny thing to note is that the two “went to the same high school” in the ad. There is a twenty-one-year age difference between the two, similar to the fifteen-year age difference between Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, which was another hot topic when the two married.

There may be a mere five years between Mila and Ashton, but when she auditioned for her role as Jackie in That ’70s Show, she was only 14. She was cast as Ashton’s on-screen girlfriend because she lied about her age. Her character was supposed to be 18. Mila told directors that she would be 18, she just didn’t say when.

Thankfully, it all worked out, and twenty-four years later, the two seem to be happily married.

The women of TikTok are using a viral new quiz to test their boyfriends’ loyalty.

The “Strawberry Question,” as it’s being called online, is providing heaps of female TikTokers with the perfect opportunity to prank their boyfriends. There seems to be absolutely no way to get the exceedingly simple question right, which is a big part of the prank. Women across the app are seizing the chance to stump their boyfriends, flooding the app with hundreds of entries into the “Stawberry Question” TikTok trend.

The prank itself is pretty straightforward. Women ask their beaus a series of scripted questions, beginning with, “If you were walking past a strawberry field, would you take a strawberry and eat it if you were really hungry?”

Their partners’ responses to this question are extremely important. It’s exceedingly difficult to find a single dude who would refuse a fresh, handy strawberry while famished, as it turns out, which means that nearly every man responds to this question with some version of the word “Yes.”

In response to this, the tester pushes their partner a bit further, asking “How many” strawberries they would claim. The number here doesn’t matter quite as much and tends to vary widely. Some men are willing to relieve some poor farmer of only one or two of their hard-earned strawberries, while others are entirely prepared to walk away with handfuls of fresh, technically-not-free fruit. Regardless of the quantity of strawberries claimed, however, the prankster’s response is always the same.

The next portion of the prank poses a hypothetical physical challenge, wondering, “If there was a fence, would you jump it?” Many men say they would, particularly if they were “really hungry,” and maintain that they would claim at least one or two strawberries to satiate their hunger.

At this point, the true purpose behind the prank is revealed, as women proclaim that their partners are obvious cheaters. The strawberries are an allegory for other women, see, and by admitting that they’re willing to claim a few strawberries, the men are exposing themselves as future cheaters.

The trend is clearly a joke, one that heaps of women have been delighted to join in on. Many of the duped men seem amused by the end as well, though they all seem to wonder how, exactly, they managed to find themselves in trouble — jesting or otherwise — after answering a simple question.

Even a reversal in the face of a fence isn’t enough to save these poor suckers. Those who say they would claim a strawberry if it was easy, but balk at the mention of a fence, are still cheaters, according to the Strawberry Question. They just aren’t as willing to cheat if it’s going to be hard. Those strawberries still tempt, you see, and they did consider them before realizing that a fence stood between them.

In some videos taking part in the trend, another question is tacked onto the end. Another query, wondering “What if the farmer caught you,” occasionally follows the fence question and seems to place the prankster in the farmer’s shoes. So those men who are entirely willing to not only jump the fence for their strawberries but also explain themselves to the farmer are not only cheaters, but also willing to simply tell their partners that they did it because they were hungry.

Somehow, a small portion of viewers didn’t get the joke upon watching Strawberry Question videos. They lashed out at the women participating, empathizing with the “poor” men on the other side of the prank. Some commenters proclaimed that “this is why men stay single” and labeled the women as “crazy” and “dramatic.”

The majority of people were in on the joke, however, and shared their amusement in the comment sections of the trend’s many participating videos. Some even promised to try it out with their own partners.

While many men were simply confused by the end of their strawberry-flavored trial, a few punked their girlfriends in return. One man had a flawless response to his girlfriend’s accusation of cheating, sending back a video of him enjoying a strawberry that he snagged because he “passed a strawberry field” while hungry.

This is exactly the energy a prank like this deserves.
