guess where i'm from
i'm just intrigued to see what the people of Reddit think about my accent. i'm a native english speaker, but people often can't pinpoint where i'm from (even down to country sometimes). so, please guess where i'm from, the more specific the better! :)

Don't let your life pass you by

Whoever vs whomever
I'd like to prefix that I am american but just a little stupid. I know that whoever works as subject and whomever as object but I'm currently watching the rookie and a sentence said in it threw me off "It seemed likely that whomever sent that text killed Dim" Shouldn't it be whoever? Like "whoever" sent that text is the subject performing the action or am I missing something here?
Is my accent really that noticeable? I’m probably in denial but please be super honest!

What is she talking about? What's the magic beans? What's the riddle?
I just stumbled upon [this video on Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/1i2cq8z/womans_warnings_against_solotravel/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) and couldn't make sense of what she's talking about. Video transcription: >\- I just went under a bridge and the troll stopped me and he didn’t stop anyone else. Of course he asked me do I have my magic beans with me. Of course it’s one f\*ing day I leave the house without magic beans. I say no, can I do a riddle instead? \- Yes. \- OK. I do the riddle. Can anybody clarify what the magic beans are and what's riddle she's talking about?
Learning with The Big Bang Theory - why is Bernadette so hard to understand?
I've been watching The Big Bang Theory without subtitles to improve my listening and comprehension skills while having fun. It's been going well with most characters, most of the time, but not Bernadette. Is it just me, or is there anything peculiar about the way she speaks? I don't think it's the high pitch or her speed. Maybe a regional accent? Any native speaker care to share their thoughts?
Is “whisper off” a noun here? Does it mean the same as whisper?
