A weekend thought for you.
I did a video about this a couple years ago.. but “coincidences” keep happening.
Had to revisit..
There’s a chance that the creator of “The Simpsons,” Matt Groening, is a real life time traveler...
Buckle up.
A thread..
It’s all so subtle.. On Episode 3 of the ninth season, titled “Lisa’s Sax,” which aired on October 19th, 1997.
For no reason at all, in the middle of the episode Marge is holding a book titled “Curious George and the Ebola Virus”
17 yrs later in 2014, Ebola took over the world
Season 10.. Episode 5.. Titled “When you dish upon a Star”.. which aired on November 8th, 1998
A still image appears on the screen.. “20th Century Fox.. A division of Walt Disney Co.”
19 years later Disney actually bought 20th Century Fox
Alright.. maybe those were easy predictions.. but what about 9/11? How’s this happen?
Season 9, episode 1, titled “The City Of New York vs. Homer Simpson” which aired on September 21st, 1997
On a magazine, subtly in the background
That’s a mind blower.. Could be a coincidence I guess..
How about in 2007 when they joked about The NSA Spying scandal that Edward Snowden would eventually blew the whistle on in 2013
I mean I guess folks could take a shot in the dark and assume that was already happening but, what about auto correct, smart watches, voter fraud, and THE GOD PARTICLE all being accurately predicted.. I’m sorry “joked” about YEARS before any of them actually happen
Still not certain...
How about predicting Daenerys’ heel turn with her dragon in the last season of #GOT?
This is from an episode in 2017.. 2 years prior to the firestorm..
WAIT A DAMN MINUTE..
The FIFA corruption scandal and Lady Gaga’s Super Bowl performance were predicted as well
5 years before for Gaga and a year before the FIFA nonsense
I know some of these can be written off as “potentially obvious guesses”... but what about when they knew a building was gonna be built in London 14 years before it was constructed?
“The Shard” appeared on “The Simpsons” over a decade before it showed up in real life
How about predicting USA over Sweden in curling at the Olympics 8 years before that incredibly bold statement came true.. shout-out @MattJamilton and the boys
The unfortunate tiger turn on Siegfried and Roy 10 years before it happened
They had a line in 2001 about the Amazon RAINforest burning down... The Amazon has actually been on fire the last 3 weeks.
Nuclear stuff has always been chatted about I assume but, this 3 eyed fish on the Simpsons from 1990 is oddly similar to the one they found in Argentina in 2011..
The Trump presidency is another big one.. Doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you are on, nobody thought this would happen.. The escalator, the meeting in Saudi Arabia around the glowing ball thing..
COME ONNNN
Some of these can be eliminated by the science of “coincidence” but.. that’s A LOT of very accurate things coming from a comedy cartoon.
If time travel is real, I think I’m a big fan..I’d travel straight 2 September 9th on @DAZN_USA..
See if I can Matt Groening a little bit more
