[@crouchingtigerhiddenadam1352]

Karl. Don't otherthink this. You know many people are missing Simon, he was a big part of the channel. It's not your fault. In fact you're one of the main people who helped Simon get to where he is today. Simon Whistler fans... Karl is a legend. We should be thankful for them both. As Simon has left, I can't think of anybody else who deserves this spot more.

[@Darkflowerchyld718]

Thissss 👏👏👏👏 Karl deserves recognition and respect for all he's done for us behind the scenes all these years!

[@cottoneyedJoe29]

As a long time fan of this channel and of Simon specifically allow me to clear up some things about why I have truthfully not been as avid of a viewer as I once was... spoiler alert, there is not any reason that results in me diminishing this man or insulting this man as I am sure he is a decent enough guy and has earned his reputation that I have seen through the comment section since the announcement he was taking the spot. Keep in mind this is my reasoning and I do not have the ability to speak for everyone nor the ability to control cruel words of others. 1) I am still a little bitter at what looked like unreliability when content just stopped with no explanation. (I promise this is the most childish reason and I am well aware it's unreasonable, but I am human) 2) While I have nothing bad to say about him personally he doesn't have the same type of humor and way of speaking with the same wit that Simon did which was a big reason I liked the videos, he is just different and humans take time to adjust to change. 3) on the topic of change, the content people watch are near and dear to them. Many sitcoms and franchises have failed after making changes to the cast for this very reason. It has nothing to do with who Karl is, it is 100% because of who he can't be. 4) lastly (this is more of a personal issue than anything that affects others) I am losing my hearing, his accent is much thicker than Simon portrayed on screen, and truthfully it gets harder and harder every year for me to pick up on what others are saying when it comes to thick accents; deep south, English as a second language or even English speakers from England, Ireland, Scotland ect. And I am 100% sure there are others who have a similar issue but that is likely the minority of us.

[@anothersquid]

@@cottoneyedJoe29 I have the hearing thing, so I kind of watch the face in the video... basically lip reading but not with the skill of a professional. Of course, I could turn on close captions, but I haven't hit that level of personal acceptance yet, I think. I am Canadian and grew up with some serious British Isles accents around me, so I'm more used to it, but I can say that I've visited Boston, and find them almost unintelligible and their accent isn't *THAT* different from Karl's. If you want a linguistic adventure, go to Argentia in Newfoundland. That's where the hardcore "I's da b'y" types are.

[@crouchingtigerhiddenadam1352]

@@cottoneyedJoe29 I think that's fair. Simon taking up a new relaxed style, Today I Found Out referenced Karl's FactFiend channel. If you look at the earlier Simon videos, it was delivered very straight for a long time. Accents, I would agree, it can be hard and maybe I'm just programmed to understand certain British dialects without issue. I didn't think Karl's accent was that strong, I know some people with disagree with me. For me, I want to see what Karl can do, being himself and fearless. Simon used to speak a lot faster and I struggled. When Simon brought on the Blaze, I thought it was great. It was far more relaxed and easy to listen to. I think the mixing changed too, there was more bass/compression in his voice compared to older videos as well as a generally slower rate. I dunno, it's observations, not suggestions. I think it's great you took the time to respond. It's got me thinking.

I describe being a parent as the best worst thing ever. I absolutely adore my child. Being a parent is the most amazing experience of my life. However, being a parent also SUCKS so hard on so many levels.

[@DarylBaines]

I feel for kids (and adults) called "Alexa" (or Alexis, Alexi or Alexandra) ... and kids named "OK Google".

[@joedavenport5293]

There are a lot of parents here in the USA who have no business having kids. A lot of parents don't have the maturity, patience, and financial stability to have kids. If you want unconditional love get a dog!

[@Darkflowerchyld718]

I think if you lack maturity, patience and financial stability you should absolutely not get a dog. They're just as dependent on their owner as a child is to their parent. If not more than a child because the dog will never learn to speak for itself. If you can't commit fully to caring for another life, dog or child, you shouldn't do it. I have three kids and a disabled dog. My dog has required more maturity, patience and financial stability than my kids so far. She was a healthy puppy, we had no idea she'd develop the conditions she has when we rescued her. But she did. And we're still here with her 7 1/2 years later. But yea absolutely way too many people having babies and adopting animals they can't care for. It's a damn shame.

[@Alex-cq1zr]

That seems the same in most if not all countries. The whole "i own my child thing" is especially popular with conservative countries... like, isn't in some countries it's the norm for the oldest child to be essentially forced to be their parents' servant/caretaker? All in all, the "parent is the one who takes care of the child" not "parent is the one who controls the child" should be the norm

[@sbsstorytelling]

You said Kyle those last couple of times! I was unsure if it was Karl with a C at first, but I'm American, so I get a half a point? As for presentation, you came in seeming a little bit of low energy, but it picked up quickly. As the top commentor so far said, don't overthink it, you're doing a fantastic job!

There is definitely a subreddit for parents who regret parenthood. It gets pretty rough.

[@daytwaqua]

So 80% of parents are delusional, not realizing that all newborn babies are kinda ugly & weird-looking. They get cute pretty quickly, but fresh out of the oven, not so much. I had a friend who described their newborn as looking like "A wet alien bird", which isn't the worst description I've heard for a newborn.

[@dsxa918]

Yeah, sure, I might not disagree but think of when you're young (assuming you're a heterosexual for the sake of making this analogy) and you hear about or see genitals. You might think they're a lot weirder or depending on you as an individual, 'curious' looking, though as an adult with healthy associations you've subjectively come to adore them.

[@saec-ford6538]

When my son was born, I thought he looked like a newborn hamster. Pink, hairless, floppy...I was very excited because I love hamsters! (I was also extremely high from the pain medication, so there's that.) To this day, he's 15 now, I call him "Hammy." I always thought my little hammy was cute, but I have a weird affection for rodents, so that's probably why.

[@daytwaqua]

@@saec-ford6538 My son looked more bird-like to me, which I found adorable because it was my son. But objectively speaking, to any outsider, a vast majority of babies don't get cute for a good week or so. I do wish I had been warned about what everyone refers to as the soft spot, but to me was always a hole in my son's skull. That freaked me out the entire time lol.

My dad named me Jenny. Not Jennifer. Just Jenny. I can't even tell you how many times I've had to explain to people that my name is not Jennifer. They usually then ask "Really? What does it say on your birth certificate?" So annoying! My dad said that he decided on Jenny because Jennifer was getting so popular and he wanted something unique. 🙄

[@Sarah_D.]

I have a friend named Jenny who also has the same issue, so you're not alone. Also, my husband has a friend named Bob. He had to deal with this so often, even the military put Robert on his tags when he enlisted. They didn't believe his name was just Bob, and it wasn't an easy task to get his info corrected.

The most disturbing of this all is that those percentages of people who admitted socially despised things like regretting having kids, not enjoying being parents or even not loving their kids must be underrepresented, as many people would not respond sincerely, and hide their dark truth and go for what is socially desirable instead. 5% is the percentage of parents who ADMITTED not loving their kids. I wonder how many people wouldn't have had kids if it wasn't for the social pressure they felt towards it. This is why I absolutely respect child-free people who has the courage to make this choice, even if my choice was different. Earth is suffering from too much of us on her, if you don't want kids go ahead, you are precious to Mother Earth!

I can next to guarantee the reason Americans think your name is Kyle is because we pronounce both names completely differently.

My american brain hears "Cal," but I wouldn't worry about it. You have a very pleasant voice and accent, and there's a graphic with your name at the beginning of each video. I've really enjoyed your style and presence on the channels. Simon is great, but I watch so many videos in the SWCU that its like he's always on. I like the variety while maintaining the quality of the videos! Also, a lot of family time for us when I was a kid was either going out for walks together on my parents' wooded propery, my dad reading to us out of chapter books like Tolkein, C.S. Lewis, or Ingalls-Wilder. My mom would also plan little arts and crafts projects to do together, and I realize now that it was because they were fun for her, too!

7:50 - This is a common misconception. The raw wage gap does not compare men and women who do the same work. When researchers compare men and women who do the same jobs, work the same hours, with the same specialty, in the same locations, with the same amount of experience etc., they consistently find that the wage gap shrinks to nearly zero.

[@grovermartin6874]

"Crotch goblins?!" Hahaha, love it!

[@chitlitlah]

In many US accents especially in the south, the long i diphthong has mostly shifted into a monophthong approaching the ah sound, so Kyle sounds remotely like call, just farther back in the mouth. In your non-rhotic English accent, the r in Karl gets removed, so again it sounds somewhat like call. When you say Karl and Kyle back to back, they sound very different, but if you said Karl and someone from Arkansas said Kyle back to back, the difference wouldn't be so glaring.

[@UnicornsPoopRainbows]

American ESL teacher here. Karl, it’s just the accent. You don’t hit the hard R so it sounds closer to Kyle to us. Plus, some Southerners DO say Kyle very similarly to how you pronounce Karl. You can do nothing. You can hit the R a bit harder when introducing yourself to Americans, or you can quickly spell it. My husband says his name and spells it “I’m Sy, S-Y.” He doesn’t get odd looks because he also has a foreign accent too. For the spelling, I’m Stefanie and it is never ending. Karl is most often spelt with a C as well so we are both just screwed on that front.

oh, help for college! two tests, currently owned by the SAT parent company are the CLEP and DSST tests. these tests are accepted at almost all american c olleges and universities and are NOT advanced placement, they are literal credits. go to the school registrar's office, get the list of courses you need to graduate. ask "which of these do you accept CLEP or DSST tests for. (there will be like ONE person who knows what the heck you mean) get the EXACT test and which course it replaces (my school needed english comp W ESSAY not the one withut it, to replace a class) the tests used to cst like 100 bucks, but are worth 3 plus credit hours. my college costs 500 per credit hour so...100 v 1500

The only way she could have known was by noticing that I looked asymmetrical- aka, ugly!! Lol!! However, I did (and do) enjoy playing video games with my dad! Though, to be fair, I grew up in the middle of nowhere, loooong before online gaming was a thing, so he was often the only person around willing to play video games with me. Though I've been taking it easy on him since I was like ten... 😂 You're definitely a Karl, but my dad's name is Carl, so the difference sounds obvious to me. Including when you purposely said it wrong. 😂 My name is Georgia, and NO ONE can pronounce or spell it. It's incredible. It's a freaking state!! It's even worse because my last name is super Italian, so no one even wants to try that. So they go for my first name and get it wrong anyway, lol. My mom has told me multiple times that she wishes she had spelled my name Giorgia, the Italian spelling, but I'm REALLY glad she didn't.

If all parents are honest, I can guarantee you that every single parent has had a moment when they regret having the bugger. Especially at 3 am when they won’t go to sleep and are howling at you😈. Then again I am sure that my parents had those moments too. But we all make it through and can laugh about it now 😇

[@amorousg.1673]

That part of parenthood is just a season. Personally, I've never regretted having my children for a moment. Are some parts really difficult, yes but I planned on having both children and wouldn't take anything back.

[@mammuchan8923]

Don’t get me wrong I love my kids to death and would do anything to protect them, even though they are grown now@@amorousg.1673. They both know I would do anything for them and I have helped them both through really tough bouts of depression and they are very devoted to me. But they appreciate what it must have been like for me to not get proper sleep for 6 years , and to constantly worry about their health and safety. Take care 💜

I've said, from experience, that those who are least appropriate for having children have at least 6. (I've seen this in action. Oldest sister and her husband had 6. Most of their kids went on to have at least that many. Similar cult to the Duggars... Just no one like Josh. Yet. Though the founder of the group and his son and son-in-law have all had s*xual misconduct allegations, if not convictions. Rife in that brand of independent fundamental Baptists...)

Is he putting us on at the end there with his name??? He totally said Kyle!!!! Twice!

[@liamblack2574]

Younger brother is my dad favourite. Eldest brother is mums favourite…. Then it’s my sister… then it’s me…. My parents have always liked me a little less than my three siblings and never understood why

12:11 I’ve never heard of a class you couldn’t fail. People have been kept from graduating for failing gym, which is just insane. But then; if you can’t figure out a way to either get out of or pass gym class, maybe you shouldn’t be out in the real world. I was able to get out of gym class jr and sr year because there were academic classes I needed for college and would actually benefit me.

I live in Southern Ontario, where we have a lot of different accents from all around the world. My one syllable name Ian gets pronounced Yan or I-Anne daily.

14:09 Once I got to about season 7 of Smallville a couple of years ago, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

[@j.p.6932]

13:54 Now that you say it, I hear “Kyle”. But, probably because it’s shown on screen at the beginning of the video, always heard it as “Karl”.

[@j.p.6932]

14:10 Yeah; but if you’re naming your kid after an ancient Egyptian goddess, you kinda need to be slapped anyway.

[@lisamilby]

Oh, dear, I keep hearing Kyle! My American ears! 😂

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

BABIES EVERYWHERE! WHAT MADNESS IS THIS?!

[@jessgunn6639]

hahaha i was a hideous baby, think alien and hairless you got it lol, if you wanted to start an argument between my parents all you had to do was say it and mom would agree 100% and then dad would lose his tiny mind screaming about how beautiful i was, absolutely delulu lmao (adorable of him though!)

[@YeeSoest]

My parents have 3 big, strong boys and one sickly, little girl. Guess who's the favorite. Guess how long we all knew. Now guess how much we cared. She can have mom, we've got friends😮

[@jstidd77]

Karl, I hear Karl, but when you said a lot of Americans hear “Kyle” it makes sense… because I’m 46 years old and I’ve met exactly one Carl in my life. Two if you count my dad complaining about his boss when I was growing up.

Only one of these will apply to me on October 20th when Spider-Man 2 comes out, for about 48 hours.
