Predictions by The Simpsons as a precursor to real-life events
The newest trending conspiracy on the web is that the world is going to end tomorrow (Sep. 24). The hypothesis is provided by the much beloved animated show The Simpsons. The show is not new in predicting real-life happenings way before their occurrence.
For instance, The Simpsons in the past predicted that the first sky-scrapers would be based in London, and so it happened, then they gloriously predicted a Trump Presidency, and we all know how that turned out!
According to Exemplore,The Simpsons episode 9.24 depicts '10 days of darkness' and shows the end of the world.
Weird connections
People following conspiracy theories have connected the Simpson's prediction with a German legislator who confused Feb. 24 with Sep. 24 when he said about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, ‘the world will remember September 24’.
Additionally, a recent ‘Solar flare’ event, which usually is known to interrupt the occasional radio and cell phone operation somewhere in the world is making the internet go crazy.
So all in all, avoid conspiracy theories online and do not listen to yellow cartoon characters when informing yourself!
