Why the Simpsons is considered prophetic and what it was about 2024
Bashny.Net
I will never forget how the Simpsons came to replace the Flintstone cartoon, and from that moment on, not only my sister and I, but also my parents did not stick out from the TV. Masha and I were too young to understand all the satirical humor and political references, but we loved it. Who would have thought that many, many years from now, the entire world would be looking for the Simpsons’ predictions for 2024?
This sitcom has earned a reputation as prophetic for a reason. Fans estimate that throughout the history of the project, the writers managed to predict about 26 situations that turned the world upside down. The coincidences were so shocking that the animated series immediately overgrown with conspiracy theories. Who's behind the scripts? What exactly has come true? And what predictions can be found in The Simpsons for the current year 2024?
There is no secret in who is the author and creator of the yellow American family - it was done by talented animator Matty Groeningy. He named the characters in honor of his family. And he colored them in yellow to make his comics stand out from the rest of the world at a time when the format was wildly popular. Remember all the animated series about the typical (and atypical) families of the time - I'm sure the fingers of one hand will not be enough for you. But unlike other projects of this type, it was The Simpsons who became prophetic.
Fans even managed to assume that the writers are aliens from the future, who take as the basis of the episodes what has already happened in their reality. Others are of the opinion that behind everything is a secret organization run by the very Rothschilds. But for most, all the coincidences are random, although insanely interesting. What historical events appeared in the Simpsons episodes much earlier than in our everyday life?
One of the most acute examples for us is the coronavirus epidemic, predicted in the May 1993 series. In it, a Japanese worker sneezes on a parcel that comes to Homer Simpson. This is how the pandemic begins. The inaccuracy lies in the territorial factor. Do you remember that after the coronavirus spread, there was a lot of speculation about packages from China and how contagious they were?
Another scandal, the investigation of which is still relevant, is horse meat in hamburger patties. In 1994, the Simpsons released an episode in which children are fed horse by-products and pruning in the school canteen. And almost 10 years later, a scandal broke out in Ireland: 30 percent of ready-made cutlets in supermarkets and fast food found horse DNA instead of beef, since horse meat was much cheaper. And just a few years ago, this scandal broke out with renewed vigor in Europe. It even involved the world-famous company Nestle.
In the sixth season (1995) The Simpsons showed a video link, just like Skype. What about the Apple Watch? They appeared in the 1995 series even before the idea was picked up in Doctor Gadget. And a year before that, they predicted the appearance of T9, that is, autocorrection of the text. By the way, there is an opinion that since then Apple is very closely watching the plots in the Simpsons.
If we talk about even more accurate forecasts, this is the construction of the skyscraper The Sharb in London: on the screens he appeared earlier than on the plans of the architects. As for the skyscrapers, it seemed a strange coincidence that one of the episodes on the magazine depicted the twin towers in the form of the number 11, which sold for 9 euros. 11:09, but could it really be a coincidence?
Ebola was also mentioned in the sitcom (Marge told her son Bart about the disease and monkeys in Season 3 Episode 9). And even Disney's takeover of 20th Century Fox. I wonder if they knew about Netflix, too? Even the theories of physics did not stand aside: in one of the series Homer learns that the universe is a doughnut. That is, the void in the middle and the wave from the Big Bang around. In principle, it makes sense.
And, of course, the most iconic guesses are Donald Trump's victory in the presidential election and the discovery of a three-eyed fish near a nuclear power plant. By the way, it was after the coincidence with the fish that fans of the series began to carefully check the contents of the series and found many interesting coincidences. And it's not even half!
Since studying The Simpsons for news has become a tradition for geeks, there are many myths. For example, earlier this year, news broke that even magnetic storms were predicted in Season 24 Episode 9. But that's not exactly true...
Unsplash Yes, it's true that in this series, everyone lost electricity and communications, and Homer and his family went down to the bunker. But the failures were due to the nuclear disaster, not solar power. However, problems with communication and the Internet around the world are really observed in 2024. This is even said by such leading astrologers as Tamara Globa.
And here are really interesting prophecies for the coming year: in 2000, an episode was released, the events of which take place in 2024. And one of the significant differences is the dispute between the countries where the Olympics will be held, after which it turns out that in Paris. So what do we have this year? The Paris Olympics!
At the same time, Russia proposes to hold the Olympiad in Moscow, but no one agrees, because just a minute later the dollar price rose from 7 rubles to 1000. Of course, inflation has not yet reached this peak in Russia, but in Argentina the dollar crossed the 1,000 pesos line in 2024. Maybe they just got the wrong country?
And for dessert: in one of the frames a map appears, which depicts the USSR in its old borders with Scandinavia attached to it. All this, of course, jokes, but watching the news of recent years, it becomes somehow uncomfortable.
Despite such a huge amount of coincidence, a former Simpsons showrunner named Bill Oakley said in an interview that it was just a monstrous misunderstanding. The fact is that in satire they use events that have already taken place in history. For example, the series about the pandemic was made on the prototype of the news in 1968, when the world was covered by the flu epidemic. But, since history tends to repeat itself, the probability of coincidences is quite high. However, this does not explain the monstrous accuracy of some of them. What do you think?
