‘The Simpsons’ 2024 Predictions!
The Vision Pro Prediction
An episode of “The Simpsons” 8 years ago, showcased a device strikingly similar to the recently released Vision Pro. This technology has grabbed headlines for its futuristic capabilities. Social media are buzzing with comparisons, as well as expert musings on the probability of a cartoon so frequently hitting the mark with its forecasts.
In the 2016 episode titled “Friends and Family,” Mr. Burns hires Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie to play his live-in virtual reality family. This was done as a trial run for a new headset that is very similar to the Vision Pro. A video shows various Simpsons characters wearing the headset while walking and even in bed. However, everything becomes complete and utter chaos after a while. People are walking into lampposts and falling into manholes.
Even today, we are seeing something similar. People are actually wearing it while walking, eating, riding the subway, and even while driving!
Trump’s Bid for President in 2024
On November 15, 2022, Donald Trump announced his run for the 2024 elections. This scenario was eerily predicted by “The Simpsons” in the 2015 episode, “BART To the Future.” Homer Simpson flew past a sign declaring ‘Trump 2024’ in an episode. It is a detail that arrived well before Trump’s presidency itself. Adding to that, in 2000, the show even signaled Trump’s election to the presidency.
Taking Over Mars
“The Simpsons” once featured a scene from episode 17 in series 23, where Mars was the new frontier for humanity. It mirrors the accurately with the aspirations of visionaries like Elon Musk today. Lisa’s adventure into government-led Martian colonization on the show also runs parallel to the current fascination and real-life plans to establish a human presence on the Red Planet.
AI Taking Control
The show predicted the theme of AI and automation, in a scene from Episode 17, Series 23. It depicted Homer losing his job to robots. As we see the increasing influence of AI on global workforces, the possibility of life imitating art feels all too real.
Third World War
Homer Simpson’s prank on his family about World War III in a special 1987 episode turns ironically relatable today as global tensions rise. The hypothetical future of conflict, as shown in “The Simpsons, ” suddenly doesn’t feel as far removed from reality.
Zombie Apocalypse
Delving into the realms of horror, “The Simpsons” once turned its characters into zombies after an incident with a tainted fast-food sandwich. News anchor Kent Brockman gets turned into a zombie by fast-food lunch at Krusty the Clown’s. Within just 28 days, zombies are seen hungry and running all over the town of Springfield.
This apocalyptic vision, although fantastical, speaks to the show’s knack for playing with potential future scenarios, no matter how silly they may seem.
Virtual Reality Food
Homer and Marge’s indulgence in virtual treats indicated the innovation of VR culinary experiences like Aero Banquets RMX. In 2024, the integration of virtual reality in dining is blurring the lines between what’s virtual and what’s real.
Black Hole
A 2013 “Simpsons” episode delved into the abyss of black holes before such cosmic entities became a hot subject. With 2024 being a significant year for space exploration, this prediction places the show in suspense.
