The Karl Effect is an internet slang term that describes the phenomenon where a person unknowingly or unintentionally destroys a discussion or derails a conversation by bringing up irrelevant or unrelated topics. This term is often used humorously to refer to someone who changes the subject abruptly and typically receives mixed reactions from others in the online community.
Example 1:
Person A: Did you watch the new episode of that TV show last night? I thought it was really intense!
Person B: Yeah, it was great! But did you see that video of the dog skateboarding? So cute!
Person C: Dude, why are you pulling the Karl Effect right now? We were talking about the TV show!
Example 2:
Person X: What do you think about the upcoming election?
Person Y: I’m really concerned about the environment and climate change, we need to address that!
Person Z: The Karl Effect strikes again! We were discussing the election, not environmental issues!
