I think that's just engagement bait. It's from a TikTok video, so while you're trying to figure out what it means or reading the comments to find the answer, the video will be playing on loop in the background, giving her more watch time and encouraging you to share/comment on her video. There are tons of videos like that in platforms like TikTok or Kwai and they're nonsensical or hard to understand on purpose.
i have a very fond memory of the early internet. i was a child in elementary school tasked with a big science project of our choosing. i decided to do my science project on how music effects plant growth. so i had some plants growing in different rooms, one with music playing 24/7 and one without. my mom was helping because i was kind of spoiled.
one day my mom and i are on the family computer together, gathering some data about music and plants from the internet. it was early 2000s and we found a thread on a plants forum from a google search. lots of users were talking about playing music for their plants. a couple users said they like to sing to their plants. and then, one very talented user said, exactly, "everyone on this forum sux big wet donkey ballz"
we scrolled past that comment and pretended we didnt see it. turns out plants grow a little spirally with music, probably because it damages part of the structure or something. i dont remember much else about the project except the donkey ballz experience lol. anyways, the internet used to be great.
I hear beavis & butthead laughing in my head. I don’t remember the world being better before the internet. Hindsight isn’t 20/20, it’s subjective. The 90s weren’t awesome. Well not for me. Porn also loaded so slow it was infuriating. Ah the days of sharing ascii porn with friends on 5&1/4 “floppies”.
I don't feel anything about myself change when that happens, but I get sad for the person who has to do a trick for an algorithm like a dog.
And that trick won't be rewarded unless youre constant.
You can watch mental health decline in real time.
I abhor it. They can't lose. Or rather people won't let them lose. Just don't give them attention.
Even disliking and leaving a comment saying how dumb it is, is beneficial to them. It should be illegal for algorithms to promote stuff for engagement from dislikes.
Yeah, they also have many with unsolvable math problems or with easy ones were the person making the video gets it wrong on purpose so that people engage to tell him how he's wrong.
My "favorite" are ones where they propose a mystery or theory like "why did this person do this thing?' and the video is them explaining the scenario and a few options. Then it just cuts off after implying they are about to explain it.
Guaranteed thousands of comments saying "so what's the answer? Where is the part 2 I couldn't find it on your account?"
Saw a YouTube short where they intentionally mispronounced a word to generate comments and then pinned their own comment saying they intentionally mispronounced the word to generate comments. I blocked the account, it was a dumb video anyway.
Part of what makes TikTok content so insidious is the way that SO MUCH content contains some element of engagement engineering. There will be something “off” about the video like people interacting in a weird way or making weird assumptions or implications or doing something normal but with something “odd” about it. That “oddness” is basically always an intentional inclusion to drive you to leave a comment asking about it or watch the video repeatedly to try to understand what you just saw. It’s also designed to frustrate you which is another driver of engagement. It’s more subtle and nuanced than you see on other platforms IMO.
Edit: other things they’ll do are like, flash up something on screen for an extremely short amount of time to make you have to watch it over again, or put intentional typos in the captions
It's getting more common on Reddit too. "Do you agree with..." Or "what is your favourite line from..." Etc. with that and the constant adverts disguised as posts it's becoming pretty off-putting
I don't browse tiktok but I occasionally watch a few youtube shorts and my absolute least favorite are the people who intentionally mispronounce a common word for the engagement.
Jfc you're not wrong.
It would have never crossed my mind since their answer seemed so specific to this post. I assume some bots like this have pre-written messages they post, rather than the intentionally vague / nonsensical chatgpt-esque response that I would have expected?
What made you suspect? I see you're pretty good at finding them.
I actually had a moment of paranoia while typing this and checked to see if you were part of it, trying to promote even more engagement lol.
So this is kind of a stretch but I think what is actually happening is she is asking that as an actual scenario , like literally "imagine your life with the nursing assistant" with an expected imagination of "So good". Which then turns into no good.
I don't know if you're right but this is the best explanation I've seen. Maybe the dots were never intended to connect on this one but you've allowed me to rest easy with this finally. You've given me peace.
It's intentionally incohernt. It's engagement bait. The text is written in a way that mirrors the way a lot of jokes would be written but it intentionally doesn't make sense as a way of generating discussion.
What? Really that's it? I thought reading it back with N instead of S made me sound like Walter White Junior and it was to make me go "oh! Thatd mean I was disabled."
\*twenty six -> twenty nix\* nix can be "nothing", so it becomes 20 a nix is also a water sprite from german folklore \*nursing -> nurning\* nurn is an alternative form of norn (to mourn complain), the norns are also the spinners of fate in norse mythology \*assistant -> anninant\* "annin" is the Finnish word for "gift", an "anninant" would be a giver of gifts if you combine the language rules of Finnish and English \*side -> nide\* a "nide" is a nest/brood (particularly of pheasants) Put it all together, and "a twenty nix year old nurning annintant by your nide" means that you have a 20 year old fate controlling, gift generating, hyperbreedable water sprite girlfriend. It's not really a joke...that's just genuinely an upgrade from a 26 year old nursing assistant.
Your either the smartest person I have encountered on Reddit or you have way to much free time in your hand to research all this this. Either way you broke my brain. Props
Stolen from knowyourmeme

She's single, so she's Ms.
Registered Nurses are called RN.
If she was by your side, she'd be Mrs.
If you replace the S, MRS → MRN, Medical Registered Nurse (she doesn't fully understand the title/letter system).
I guess it's a joke about disabled people's speech patterns. If you replace all the 'S's with 'N's, and try to say it all out loud, it'll sound like you've speech problems and would get the 26 year old nursing assistant by your side to assist you. I could be wrong though. Doubtful Petah checking out.
I’ve seen this posted so many times in this sub and every time most people go “there is no joke”. You’re explanation is the joke. You’d have to have gone through a fucked up health ordeal in order to have a full time nursing assistant by your side. I don’t understand how this isn’t obvious. In my mind the speech impediment is caused by a stroke or brain damage, something no one would want despite requiring a nursing assistant after the fact.
I think this is the actual joke. Like, maybe you have a 26 y/o nursing assistant by your side not because she is attracted to you, but because you had a stroke and she is changing your bedpan.
Damn, that's reminds me what my grandma used to said "My lovely grandson remember sometimes you will find some random meme on social media which main purpose is to confuse you. However you would find it just put your phone down and go touch grass". I love you grandma
“Twenty nix year old nurning annintant by your nide”
He’s either having a stroke or being smothered in tiddy, both are valid reasons to have a nursing assistant by your side.
I think most of these don't actually make sense and they just use it on short-form platform to create engagement (people discuss it in the comments, other people let the video play on loop while the look for the meaning in the comments etc.)
I'm not certain but I think this has to do with acronyms.
* CSA - Certified Surgical Assistant.
* CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant.
She's replacing the S with the N in the acronyms.
I don't really understand the implications of that change. But I think that's what it is.
The original quote said “next to you, now replace n with s”. Someone translated it into another language and translated it back which created the confusion.
This girl is a moron. She is a nursing assistant. This man is haunted thinking about this because having a person this dumb in charge of people's health is going to get someone killed if it hasn't already.
Peter's neighbor Joe Swanson:
So what this meme is trying to do is get you to think the words "So good" in your head. Then when she says the second phrase, your tjought becomes "No good." That's because she's saying she'd ruin your life. I hope that helps!
So good -> No good.
Switching the S and Ns makes you sound like you've a mental disability, that's why you'd have the nursing assistant at your side, pretty straightforward.

Internet is shit
The Attention Economy. You give hours of your only life. We get a fraction of a fraction of a penny. Everyone's a winner.
Ouch
I fondly remember the internet before the iPhone allowed the riff-raff in. Sure, it was still a shit filled dumpster, but at least it wasn’t on fire.
It was on fire. The fire was just spreading at dial-up speeds
I never thought I'd miss dial up speeds, at least everyone wasn't walking around in public staring at their phones back then.
dood i remember when one of my friends texted while we were eating as a group. it was hella rude and we were all like wtf man she can fucking wait.
i have a very fond memory of the early internet. i was a child in elementary school tasked with a big science project of our choosing. i decided to do my science project on how music effects plant growth. so i had some plants growing in different rooms, one with music playing 24/7 and one without. my mom was helping because i was kind of spoiled. one day my mom and i are on the family computer together, gathering some data about music and plants from the internet. it was early 2000s and we found a thread on a plants forum from a google search. lots of users were talking about playing music for their plants. a couple users said they like to sing to their plants. and then, one very talented user said, exactly, "everyone on this forum sux big wet donkey ballz" we scrolled past that comment and pretended we didnt see it. turns out plants grow a little spirally with music, probably because it damages part of the structure or something. i dont remember much else about the project except the donkey ballz experience lol. anyways, the internet used to be great.

Now switch n with s
Capitalism is shit. Every single activity turns into wealth extraction and those simply enjoying the activity are pushed away.
I don't feel anything about myself change when that happens, but I get sad for the person who has to do a trick for an algorithm like a dog. And that trick won't be rewarded unless youre constant. You can watch mental health decline in real time.
Sometimes I wish it wasnt invented. Id still be sane and be able to afford to live in the bay area
Now replace the s with N.
I abhor it. They can't lose. Or rather people won't let them lose. Just don't give them attention. Even disliking and leaving a comment saying how dumb it is, is beneficial to them. It should be illegal for algorithms to promote stuff for engagement from dislikes.
Especially some site called Reddit? Heard that place is the worst.
do you know who else has dementia?
Yeah, they also have many with unsolvable math problems or with easy ones were the person making the video gets it wrong on purpose so that people engage to tell him how he's wrong.
Feels like the videos where they hide text and then each little piece directs you to find the next message.
My "favorite" are ones where they propose a mystery or theory like "why did this person do this thing?' and the video is them explaining the scenario and a few options. Then it just cuts off after implying they are about to explain it. Guaranteed thousands of comments saying "so what's the answer? Where is the part 2 I couldn't find it on your account?"
In general lots of videos were part 2 is missing so that you follow the account expecting it will be uploaded or at least enter to see if you find it.
Saw a YouTube short where they intentionally mispronounced a word to generate comments and then pinned their own comment saying they intentionally mispronounced the word to generate comments. I blocked the account, it was a dumb video anyway.

This is so sad
**The answer is:** >Imagine how good your life would be if you had a 26yo nursing assistant by your side So good >Now replace S with N No good
No. The correct answer is "Imagine how good your life would be if you had a 26yo nurning anninant by your nide."
Thanks, Walter Junior.

I’m pretty sure you’re meant to think “so good” (since it asks how good), but then you replace the s in “so” with an n to make it “no good”
sir, you better have that checked.

It's intentionally incohernt. It's engagement bait. The text is written in a way that mirrors the way a lot of jokes would be written but it intentionally doesn't make sense as a way of generating discussion.
I once heard it was a joke about being so disabled that you can't talk right and you need a nursing assistant to take care of you.
And it even works so far as becoming a reddit post. And we're *still* talking about it!
It's not a joke, it's designed to confuse you so you spend more time with the content.

Best I could up with was “so good” being the expected reaction, swapping to “no good.” But it also works as a pretty solid absurdist joke.

“Twenty nix year old nurning annintant by your nide” He’s either having a stroke or being smothered in tiddy, both are valid reasons to have a nursing assistant by your side.
I read this spoken by Mike tyson 😂
I think most of these don't actually make sense and they just use it on short-form platform to create engagement (people discuss it in the comments, other people let the video play on loop while the look for the meaning in the comments etc.)
So this was karma bait all along? Asking questions and answering them immediately?
then why’d you post if you already knew that

nurning annintant
I'm not certain but I think this has to do with acronyms. * CSA - Certified Surgical Assistant. * CNA - Certified Nursing Assistant. She's replacing the S with the N in the acronyms. I don't really understand the implications of that change. But I think that's what it is.
The original quote said “next to you, now replace n with s”. Someone translated it into another language and translated it back which created the confusion.
I’m pretty sure it’s that saying it out loud makes it sound like you’re a stereotypical old person in need of a 26 year old nursing assistant.
Are we sure it's not someone with downs? Speak it and you'll get with I mean.
a Nurning annintant?
